 * 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 [,] 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.
