Horses — Such the eastern nations used to consecrate to the sun, to signify the swiftness of his motion. The sun — Either, to be sacrificed to the sun: or, to draw those chariots in which the kings, or some other in their stead, went forth every morning to worship the rising sun: for both these were the customs of the Armenians and Persians, as Xenophon testifies. Entering in — By the gate of the outward court of the temple. Chamberlain — Or, officer, to whom the care of these horses were committed. Suburbs — Of the temple: in certain outward buildings belonging to the temple. Chariots — Which were made for the worship of the sun.
