The Hebrew word which we translate Horse, is Sus, and thence the Latins have the word Pegasus (as some conceive) which is as much as, The horse of the fountain; and by the very same word,1 in sound and letters, the Latins express a Swine, and another language, Silence. One of the Rabbins saith, he is so called from a word of the same, or a very near sound, in the Hebrew, though not of the same letters, signifying to rejoice, because the Horse is a cheerful beast. Others from an Arabic word, signifying to govern or rule, because he is a docile creature, and soon submits to government.
