Pal'ti (Heb. Palti', "^13^5, my deltrerance; Sept. 4>a\ri), son of Raphu of the tribe of Benjamin, and one
of the twelve spies sent out by Moses (Numb, xiii, 9). B.C. 1657.
Pal'tiel (Heb. Pallid', ^X'^^bs, deliverance of Cod; Sept. <I>aX7-(>;X), son of Azzan, and chief man of the tribe of Issachar, one of those appointed to divide the Promised Land among the tribes on their entrance into it (Numb, xxxiv, 20). B.C. 1618. See Phaltiel, which in the Hebrew is the same form.
Partite {Heh. Palti', ^dbl^, same as Palti [q.v.J; Sept. <J>nXr('), the Gentile name of Helez, one of David's captains (2 Sam. xxiii, 26) ; the same name, probably, as Pelonite (q. V.) in the parallel passage (1 Chron. xi, 27), and such seems to have been the reading followed by the Alex. MS. in 2 Sam. The Peshito-Syriac, however, supports the Hebrew, '• Cholots of Pelat." But in 1 Chron. xxvii, 10, " Helez the Pelonite," of the tribe of Ephraim, is again mentioned as captain of 24,000 men of David's army for the seventh month, and the balance of evidence therefore inclines to " Pelonite" as the true reading. The variation arose from a confusif)n between the letters 31 and 13. In the Syriac of 1 Chron. both readings are combined, and Helez is described as '-of Palton." — Smith.
Palu, Pierre de la {Paludanus, or Petriis de Pa- lude), a patriarch of Jerusalem, was born in Valambon, Bresse, about 1277. Son of Gerard de la Palu, a noble- man of Valambon, he entered the order of St. Dominic at Paris, taught with success in that university, and became in 1317 definitor of the province of France. In the following year John XXII appointed him nuncio to Flanders to make a treaty of peace; but he did not suc- ceed in this negotiation, which, on the contrary, created many enemies. In 1330 the same pope consecrated him patriarch of Jerusalem and administrator of the bishop- ric of Nicosia, in Cyprus. Pierre went immediately to Palestine, and neglected nothing to engage the sultan of Egypt to show himself more favorable to Christians. His eftbrts remaining without success he returned to France, and preached in 1331 a new crusade ; but his appeal was not heard. He was at the same time ap- pointed apostolic administrator of the bishopric of Cou- serans. He died in Paris Jan. 31, 1342. This prelate has left a great number of works; the principal ones are, Commentaii-es upon the third and fourth books of the Sentences of P. Lombard (Venice, 1493; Paris, 1514, 1517, fol., and 1530, 2 vols, fol.) : — Concordances sur la Somme de St. Thomas (Salamanca, 1552, fol.) : — Ser- mons, de Tempore et Sanctis (Antwerp, 1571, fol.): — Traite de la Puissance ecclesiastique (Paris, 1500, fol.). See Echard et Quetif, Script, ordinis Prcedicatorum ; Touron, Hist, des Homnies illustres de Saint-Dominiqve, ii, 223-237. — Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, xxxix, 119.
Paludanus {Jean ran den Broek), a Belgian theo- logian, was born at Mechlin in 1505, and died at Lou- vain in 1030. In the latter city he taught theology and the holy Scriptures, and wrote several works of pi- ety and controversy; among others, Vindicice thenlogica adversus verbi Dei corrujitelas (Antwerp, 1020-22, 2 vols. 8vo).
Paludanus, Henri, a Franciscan friar, flourished at Liege in the 17th century. He translated from the Spanish of Didier de la Vega Condones et exercitia pia (Cologne, 1610, 2 vols. 12mo), and Paradisus ylorice Sanctonim (ibid. 1610, 8vo). See Valere Andre, Bill. Belgica ; Paquot, iHe?n. vol. ix. — Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, xxxix, 120.
Pamboeotia, a festival celebrated by all the inhab- itants of Boeotia that they might engage in tlie worship of Athene Itonia. While this national festival lasted it was unlawful to carry on war; and accordingly, if it oc- curred in the course of a war, hostilities were forthwith interrupted by the proclamation of truce between the contending parties.
Pamelius, Jacob, a Dutch divine of note, was born May 11, 1536, at Bruges. His father was an ofiicer

under Charles V. Jacob studied, at Bruges, Louvain, Pari:;, and Padua. After his return to Holland the Uni- versity of Louvain conferred upon him the degree of D.D., and he was given the canonrv in his native place. lie there collected a large and valuable library for a crit- ical edition of the fathers, but when the civil war broke out he left his native country and went to St. Omer, ■where he was appointed archdeacon. He was next provost of St. Saviour's at Utrecht. While about to take possession of the bishopric of Metz, to which posi- tion he was appointed by Pliilip H, he died at Mens, Sept. 18, 1587. He wrote, Liturgica Luiinorum (Col. 1571, 2 vols. 4to): — Catalogus commeiUariorum in uni- versuDi Bibliam: — Commentarii in librum Judith, in epislolam Paiili ad Philemonem, besides his splendid editions of the works of St, C\'prian, Tertullian, and Ehabanus Maurus. " The commentaries of this author npon Tertullian," says Dupin, "are both learned and usefid; but he digresses too much from his subject, and brings in things of no use to the understanding of his author."' Dupin passes much the same judgment on Pamelius's labors on Cyprian. All the later editors of these two fathers have spoken well of Pamelius, and have transcribed his best notes into their editions.
