Highway (usually S^^pp, vieslllah', or [Isa. xxxv, 8] pilbpr, mashtl', a raised road [sec Causew.vy] for public use; clscwliere simply ITlN, o'rach, a palh, or T\'^r},, dt'rcl; ocor, a "way" in general ; once [Amos v, 10] "j^^n, c/iuls, outside). Travellers have frequently noticed the lack of roads in Palestine. Travel and transport being all performed on the backs of beasts of bur- den, which usually move in single file, the most important routes are only marked by narrow winding paths ; and the soil is often so hard as to take no impression from the feet of animals, so that the eye of an unpractised traveller there perceives, even upon a common thoroughfare, no evidence that others have passed along the same way. No repairs are ever made, no labor em- ployed to remove obstacles.— Bastow. Hence the striking character of the figure by Avliich the preparation for the return of the cai^lives and the Messiah's advent are announced as the construction of a grand thoroughfare for their march (Isa. xi, 16 ; xxxv, 8 ; xl, 3 ; ixii, 10). The Romans, however, during their occupancy of Palestine, constnicted several substantial roads, which are laid down in the ancient itin- eraries, and remains of which subsist to this day. De Saulcy (Bead Sea. i, 39-2) fancied he di.scover- ed traces of the oklMoabitish highways (Xumb. XX, 17). See Road.

HILARIUS
Spanish Jesuit and historian, was born at Toledo in 1538. He established his reputation by fabricating supposed histories. Thus he composed Cronicones, fragments, which he announced as copies of MSS. found at Worms, and the work of Flavius Lucius Dexter, Marcus INIaxi- mus, and others, purporting to throw light on the intro- duction of Christianity into Spain. Father Bivar,who beUeved these chronicles genuine, added a commentary', and published them at Saragossa in 1G19. They were reprinted at Cadiz (1627), at Lyons (1G27), and at Mad- rid (1G40, fol.).— Ticknor, Hist, of Spanish Lit. iii, 153; Hoofer, Xouv. Biog. Gener. xxiv, G58 sq. (J. H. W.)

Hilaria, a festival among the ancient Komans, which they observed in the Kalends, April 8, or on March 25, in honor of the goddess Cybele. Its name it derived from the occasion, which was one of general mirth and joy. The citizens went in processions through the streets, carrying the statue of Cybele. Masquerades, and all sorts of disguises, were also permitted. The day preceding the festival, in contrast with the festive day which was to follow, was a day of mourning. The rea- son for this is that " Cybele represented the earth, which at that time of the year begins to feel the kindly warmth of the spring, and to pass from winter to summer; so that this sudden transition from sorrow to joy was an emblem of the vicissitudes of the seasons, which suc- ceeded one another." — Broughton, Bihlioth. Ilistorico- Sacra, i, 49-i. (J. H. W.)
Hilarianus, a youthful martyr of the 2d centurj-, one of a band of Christians in an inland town of Numid- ia who were arraigned before the Roman proconsul for attending the Christian meetuigs. The proconsul sup- posed that the child would be easily intimidated; but, when threats were applied, he said, "Do what you please ; I am a Christian." — Neander, Ch. Hist, i, 152.
