† Belus' eyen.

Forms: 1600s Baelus eye, 1600s Belus eie, 1600s Belus eye, 1800s Belus' eye.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: proper name Belus , eye n.¹

Etymology: < the genitive of Belus (classical Latin Bēlus : see below) + eye n.¹, after classical Latin Bēlī oculus (Pliny: see quot. 1601).Classical Latin Bēlus (Hellenistic Greek Βῆλος ) is the Latinized form of both Akkadian Bēl , lit. ‘Master, Lord’, a title applied to various kings, mythical ancestors, and gods in Mesopotamia (most commonly to Marduk, the chief god of the Babylonians), and its Phoenician cognate bʿl (probably baʿal ) Baal n. Pliny says in Nat. hist. 37.55 (the passage translated in quot. 1601) that the Assyrians dedicated the precious stone to their chief god; no Akkadian parallel of the Latin compound is attested.

Obsolete (archaic or historical in later use).

A precious stone, probably a type of white onyx with a black lustre (see cat's-eye n. 2).

1601 P. Holland tr. Pliny Hist. World II. xxxvii. x. 625 The stone called Belus eye [L. Beli oculus; Fr. Le Belocchio, ou œil de chat] is white, and hath within it a black apple, the mids wherof a man shall see to glitter like gold: this stone for the singular beautie that it hath, is dedicated to Belus the most sacred god of the Assyrians.

1856 Fraser's Mag. Nov. 572/2 Though the above feldspaths were not, as far as know, cut into rings, there was one, the last we shall mention, our cat's eye—called by the ancients Belus' eye, because the Assyrians consecrated it to this particular divinity.

1922 E. R. Eddison Worm Ouroboros xxxi. 389 According to the compact he bare no weapon; only in his hand a short ivory staff inlaid with precious stones, and the head of it a ball of that stone which men call Belus' eye, that is white and hath within it a black apple.
