a term purely Greek, ἀπόγειος, signifying guide. The word is chiefly used as the title of a book composed by Anastasius the Sinaite, towards the close of the fifth century; being a method of disputing against the heretics, particularly the Aæcphali.

Mr Toland has also published a dissertation under the same title. Its subject is the pillar of fire, &c., which Hodge went before the Israelites as a guide in the desert.
