Ad Gemmam, p. 134. English: "Penates (Household Gods) Dug Up at Devises in Our Belgium in the Year 1714, Table 9.
"HIS FORM's Honor is shown, particularly as far as his Horns are beautiful. While it may be well known today that Horns have been a mark of Infamy for so many centuries now that among the common people it can scarcely mean anything more, it is certain that among the ancients they meant Honor, Glory, and Health. The Pagan Authors showed this time and time again in as many places as possible. Among them is "In the Horn is my Salvation". To them, the Horn was the splendor in the moonlit dawn [phengobólos augḕ]. From this Horned Moses was painted by painters and sculpted by sculptors. It is said that his Face was Horned—that is, that "the Skin of his Face glowed as if Horns were thrown out" (Septuagint: Dedóxastai hē ópsis toû krōtòs toû prosṓpou autoû).
