     * Zaphnath-paaneah.
       Which in Coptic signifies a revealer of secrets, or, the man
       to whom secrets are revealed.  Jerome says this name
       signified in Egyptian, {Savatorem mundi,} "the Saviour of the
       world;" and {Psotem-phaneh,} in Coptic, is certainly
       "salvation of the world," from [SOT,] for
       [soteria [<FB]See definition 4991[Fb]>,] salvation, {em,} the sign
       of the genitive case, and [PHENEH], world.  If this
       interpretation be correct, Pharaoh must have meant Egypt by
       the world, or which Joseph might be justly termed the Saviour.
       We know that the Romans called their empire {Universis
       Orbis-Orbis Terrarum,} "all the world:" the Chinese say the
       same of their empire at the present day, and the phrase is
       used in the East:  Nadir Shah is described on his coins as
       "Conqueror of the World," i.e., Persia.  See the same
       phraseology applied to Syria, Palestine, etc.
