Hashmaunim (Hebrew Chashmannim', d'^S^TUn ; Sept. ~os(Tj3eic, Vulg. legati), a plur. form occiuring only in the Heb. of Psa. bcviii, 31 : " I/ashmannim [A. Vers. '•princes"] shall come out of Egypt, Cush shall make her hands to hasten to God." The word has usually been derived from the Arabic ilfashmin, rich, hence in- riucntial or noble; but a derivation from the civil name of Hermopolis INIagna in the Heptanomis, preserved in the modern -Vrabic Askmuni/en, "the two Ashmuns," seems more reasonable. The ancient Egyptian name is Ha-shmen or IIa.shmun, "the abode of eight ;" the sound of the signs for eight, however, we take alone from the Coptic, and Brugsch reads them Sesennu (Geog. Inschr. i, 219, 220), but hardly on conclusive gromids. If we suppose tliat Hashmaunim is a proper name and signi-
fies Hermopolites, the mention might be explained 'by the circumstance that Hermopolis ^Magna was the great city of the Egyptian Hermes, Thoth, the god of wisdom; and the meaning might therefore be that even the wisest Egyptians should conio to the Temple, as well as the cUstant Cushites. — Smith, s. v. We may add that the name Ilasmoiu-an, which was given to the Maccabees or Jewish princes in the interval between the O. and N. T., was, it is supposed, derived from Hashmannim (Heng- stenberg. Psalms, ii, 369). — Kitto, s. v.

See Exode.
