[Footnote *: This  extraordinary  woman was a Christian; she
          was  at  the  head  of  a  numerous  and  flourishing  sect;
          Moseilama professed to  recognize  her  inspiration.   In  a
          personal interview he  proposed their marriage and the union
          of  their  sects.   The  handsome  person,  the  impassioned
          eloquence, and the  arts  of  Moseilama,  triumphed over the
          virtue of the  prophetesa who was rejected with scorn by her
          lover, and by  her  notorious  unchastity  ost her influence
          with her own  followers.   Gibbon,  with that propensity too
          common, especially in  his  later volumes, has selected only
          the grosser part of this singular adventure. - M.]
