interpretation death is here represented by the breaking of a chain and
the lamp which hangs from it. Cf. Delitzsch, and
Speaker’s Commentary, in loc. for other

τὸ
ἀνθέμιον τοῦ
χρυσιόυ (Sept.), by which
Cyril understood camomile (ἀνθεμίς), more
probably meant a pattern of flowers embossed on the vessel of
gold: vid. Xenoph. Anab. V. 4, §
32: ἐστιγμένους
ἀνθέμια,
“damasked with flowers.”
