[Footnote 49: In the second century, Maximus of Tyre
attributes to the Arabs the worship of a stone, (Dissert.
viii. tom. i. p. 142, edit. Reiske;) and the reproach is
furiously reechoed by the Christians, (Clemens Alex. in
Protreptico, p. 40. Arnobius contra Gentes, l. vi. p. 246.)
Yet these stones were no other than of Syria and Greece, so
renowned in sacred and profane antiquity, (Euseb. Praep.
Evangel. l. i. p. 37. Marsham, Canon. Chron. p. 54 - 56.)]
