>Herodotus:
>"They think that they do not really die, but that when they depart
>this life they go to Zalmoxis, who is called also Gebeleizis by some
>among them."
"94. And their belief in immortality is of this
kind, that is to say, they hold that they do
not die, but that he who is killed goes to
Salmoxis, [91] a divinity, [92] whom some
of them call Gebeleizis;"

"[91] {Salmoxin}: some inferior MSS. have {Zalmoxin},
or {Zamolxin}, and the spelling in other writers
varies between these forms."
"[92] {daimona}, sometimes used for deified men
as distinguished from gods, cp. ch. 103"
