[437] The mention of the tools shows that περίχευεν means nothing more than ‘spread’ the gold in the shape of leaf or foil round the horns. Nitzsch quotes from Millin, Minéralog. Hom. 180 “"Rien n'indique l'application antérieure d'aucun mordant, la lame enveloppe seulement les cornes de l'animal, et comme il doit bientôt être immolé, une plus grande solidité n'est point nécessaire."”
