word as Hori ; but, according to Fiirst, noble; often with the art. '^"''^'!?)> ^ designation (both singly and collectively) of the people who anciently inhabited Mount Seir, before their supersedure by the Edomites; rendered " Horites" in Gen. xiv, 6 (Sept. Xoppmot, Vulg. Corrkcei),; xxxvi, 21 (Xoppaloc, Horrceus), 29 (Xoppi, IIor?-cei) ; " Horite," Gen. xxxvi, 20 (XoppaToQ, Horrams), " Horims," Deut. ii, 12 {XoppciloQ, Iloi-rhm- iis), 22 (XoppaToe, Ilorrhcei), and " Hori," Gen. xxxvi, 30 (Xoppi, Horrcvi). See Iduji^a. There are indica- tions of Canaanitish affinity between the Horites and the Hittites or Hivites (Jlichaelis, Spicileg. i, 169, and De Troglodytis Seir, in his Syntagma Comment. 1759, p. 194; Faber, ylrc^rso?. p. 41; Hamelsveld, iii, 29 ; but see contra Bertheau, Gesch. der Isr. p. 150). See Hittite. '• Their excavated dv.-ellings are still found by hundreds in the sandstone cliffs and mountains of Edom, and es- pecially in Petra. See Edoji and Edomite. It may, perhaps, be to the Horites Job refers in xxx, 6, 7. They are only three times mentioned in Scripture : first, when they were smitten by the kings of the East (Gen. xiv, 6) ; then when their genealogy is given in Gen. xxxvi, 20-30, and 1 Chron. i, 38-42 ; and, lastly, when they were exterminated by th& Edomites (Deut. ii, 12, 22). It appears probable that they were not Canaanites, but an earlier race, who inhabited Mount Seir before the pos- terity of Canaan took possession of Palestine (Ewald, Geschichte, i, 304, 5)" (Smith). Knobel (Volkertafel d. Genesis, p. 195, 206) holds that they formed part of the great race of the Ludim, to which also the Rephaini, the Emim, and the Amorites belonged (comp. Hitzig, Gesch, d. V. Israel, Lpz. 1869, i, 29-36). In this case the Amo- rites were of Shemitic descent. According to the ac- count in Gen. xxxvi, 20 sq., they were divided into seven tribes. See Canaax.
Hor'mah (Heb. Chormah', •TC'nn, devoted city, otherwise peah of a hill; Sept. 'Ep/tn v. r. occasionally 'Epjtta^ and avaSrepa), a royal city of the Canaanites in the south of Palestine (Josh, xii, 14 ; 1 Sam. xxx, 80), near which ^the Israelites experienced a discomfiture from the Amalekites resident there, as they perversely attempted to enter Canaan by that route after the divine sentence of wandering (Numb, xiv, 45 ; xxi, 1-3; Deut. i, 44). Joshua aftenvards besieged its king (Josh, xv, 30), and on its capture assigned the city to the tribe of Judah, but finally it was included in the territory given

to Simeon (Josh, xix, 4; Jiulff. i, 17; 1 Chron. iv, 30). It is elsewhere mentioned only in 1 Chron. iv, 30. It was origin<a]ly called Zei'hath (Jiidg. i, 17), under which name it appears to have been again rebuilt and occupied by the Canaanites (see Bertheau, ad loc. ; Heng- stenl)erg, Pentat. ii, 220); whereas the name Hormah was probably given to the site by the Israelites in token of its demolition (see Numb, xxi, 3). Hence traces of the older name alone remain. See Zephath.

HorniLsdas, pope, born at Frosinone, near Rome, was elected bishop of Rome in 514, as successor of Sym- maclius. In 515, by invitation of the Eastern emperor Anastasius, he sent an embassy to a council lield at Iler- aclea for the purpose of settHng the points of disunion between the Oriental and Occidental churches ; but as this council, as well as a second one lidld in 517, did not bring about any favorable results, Anastasius, wearied by Ilormisdas's refusal to make any concessions, broke off all relations with Rome. After his death in 518, his successor Justinus made another attempt at reconcilia- tion, and the union of that Church with Rome was final- ly restored in 519, after a schism of thirty-five years. Hormisdas's conduct was much more measured in the controversy concerning Faustus of Rhegium, of whom he said tliat, though liis writings may not deserve a 1 place with those of the lathers, yet that such parts of ;_them were to be received as did not conflict with the teachings of the Church. He died Aug. 6, 523. Eighty letters of Hormisdas are preserved in Labbe. — Herzog, I'Real-EiicijMop. vol. vi; Labbe, Concilia, iv, 1415; Mil- Iman, Lut.

Horn ('|"^|?, lie'ren, identical in root and signif. with the Latin cornu and Engl, horn ; Gr. KtnaiS) is used in Scripture with a great latitude of meaning.
I. Literally (Josh, vi, 4, 5 ; compare Exod. xix, 13 ; 1 Sam. xvi, 1, 13 ; 1 Kings i, 39 ; Job xlii, 14). — Two pur- bposes are mentioned in the Scriptures to which the horn tseems to have been applied. As horns are hollow and easily polished, they ha%'e in ancient and modern times been used for drinking-vessels and for military purposes. They were especially convenient for holding liquids (1 Sam. xvi, 1, 13 ; 1 Kings i, 39), and were even made in- struments of music (Josh, vi, 5).
