Ichneumon \Ich*neu"mon\, n. [L., fr. Gr. [?], lit., the tracker; so called because it hunts out the eggs of the crocodile, fr. [?] to track or hunt after, fr. [?] track, footstep.] 1. (Zo[94]l.) Any carnivorous mammal of the genus {Herpestes}, and family {Viverrid[91]}. Numerous species are found in Asia and Africa. The Egyptian species({H. ichneumon}), which ranges to Spain and Palestine, is noted for destroying the eggs and young of the crocodile as well as various snakes and lizards, and hence was considered sacred by the ancient Egyptians. The common species of India ({H. griseus}), known as the mongoose, has similar habits and is often domesticated. It is noted for killing the cobra. 2. (Zo[94]l.) Any hymenopterous insect of the family {Ichneumonid[91]}, of which several thousand species are known, belonging to numerous genera. Note: The female deposits her eggs upon, or in, the bodies of other insects, such as caterpillars, plant lice, etc. The larva lives upon the internal tissues of the insect in which it is parasitic, and finally kills it. Hence, many of the species are beneficial to agriculture by destroying noxious insects. {Ichneumon fly}. See {Ichneumon}, 2. | |

Iconium the capital of ancient Lycaonia. It was first visited by Paul and Barnabas from Antioch-in-Pisidia during the apostle's first missionary journey (Acts 13:50, 51). Here they were persecuted by the Jews, and being driven from the city, they fled to Lystra. They afterwards returned to Iconium, and encouraged the church which had been founded there (14:21,22). It was probably again visited by Paul during his third missionary journey along with Silas (18:23). It is the modern Konieh, at the foot of Mount Taurus, about 120 miles inland from the Mediterranean. | |
