Ps. xci. 6, LXX.  δαιμόνιον μεσημβρινόν.  cf. Jer. Taylor, Serm. ii. pt. 2:  “Suidas” (Col. 1227) “tells of certain empusæ that used to appear at noon, at such times as the Greeks did celebrate the funerals of the dead; and at this time some of the Russians do fear the noon-day devil, which appeareth like a mourning widow to reapers of hay and corn, and uses to break their arms and legs unless they worship her.”
