Gervais

Archbishop of Rheims, died in 1067. His death was revealed to a Norman knight, returning from a pilgrimage to Rome, by a hermit whom he met on the way, and who told him that on the previous night he had been disturbed by a vision of demons making a great noise. They had, they said, been carrying the body of Gervais from Rheims, but because of his good deeds he had been taken from them. On his return to Rheims the knight found that Gervais was dead, and that the time of his death corresponded exactly with the time of the hermit's vision. Ghor-Boud-Des, The: The people of "Ghor-bund-land."

Mr. Pococke in his India in Greece maintains that these people are the same as the Corybantes," or ministers of the gods, otherwise known as the Cabiri. 66
