Dan. viii. 2.I. SHUSHAN, or Susan: This Hebrew Word signifies a Lilly. It is read before the Psalm, O God, thou hast cast us off, &c. Which is the sixtieth in the Hebrew, and the fifty-ninth in the Latin Psalter. We think Shushan to be the Name of a musical Instrument of six Strings. The Vulgate reads, Pro his qui immutabuntur.
