The possession of a similar treasure is ascribed to a physician, named Eusebius, who obtained it by an impressive intervention of celestial phenomena. " One night, actuated by an unaccountable impulse, be wandered out from the city Emesa to the summit of a mountain dignified by a temple of Minerva. There, as he sate down fatigued by his walk, he saw a globe of fire falling from the sky and a lion standing by it. The lion disappeared, the fire was extinguished, and Eusebius ran and picked up a baetulum. He asked it to what god it appertained, and it readily answered, to Gennaeus, a deity worshipped by the Heliopolitae, under the form of a lion in the temple of Jupiter. During this night Eusebius said he travelled not less than 210 stadia, more than 26 miles. He never became perfectly master of the baetulum, but was obliged very humbly to solicit its responses. It was of a handsome, globular shape, white, a palm in diameter, though sometimes it appeared more, sometimes less; occasionally, also, it was of purple colour. Characters were to be read on it, impressed in the colour called tingaribinus. Its answer seemed as if proceeding from a shrill pipe, and Eusebius himself interpreted the sounds." While some authorities consider the animating spirit of this mysterious stone to be divine, others refer it to an elementary influence. It is said to have been frequently found on Mount Libanus, and a parallel has been established between it and the black stone Elagabalus, as well as the monument anointed by Jacob at Bethel.
