An eulogy of the prophet is given in the inscription of Assurnatsirpal {Records of the Past, vol. ii.), and he may be identified with Assur, or Uras, the great god of the Assyrians.

The name of Samuel means Fire-god, and the Persians gave great prominence to fire in their religion. They seem to have evolved the principles of good and evil, of Ormudz
... and Ahriman, from Budha and Tiamat, and to have developed a belief in a personal devil, or Satan. In the First Fashgard of the Vendidad is given a list of countries, that appear to be identical with the conquests of the Arians.
The organising genius of Yu, or Budha, was exer- cised in every direction. The empire was divided into The Civilising Race. 113 twelve great states, and carrying out the Arian love of symbolism, they were identified with various constella- tion. Their symbols were adopted as signs of the zodiac, and the arrangement is referred to, in what have been called the Assyrian Creation Tablets : — He prepared the twin mansions of the great gods ; He fixed the stars, even the twin stars to correspond with them; He ordained the year, appointing the signs of the zodiac over it; For each of the twelve months he fixed three stars, from the day when the year issues forth to the close ; He founded the station of Nibir, the god of the ferry-boat, that none might go astray and err ; He set the stations of Bel and Ea along with him ; He opened great gates on both sides ; He made strong the bolt on the left and on the right ; In the midst thereof he fixed the zenith ; The moon-god he caused to shine forth, the night he entrusted to him, etc.
