in the texts
Rigveda
The goat that accompanies the sacrificial horse as Pūṣan's portion, and separately a speaking figure in the Ṛbhu riddle.
When men lead the horse around thrice in order at the proper season on the god-directed path of the oblation, Pūṣan's first share comes here, as the goat announces the sacrifice to the gods.
When they lead forward the gift of the one clothed in ornamental garment with golden trappings, seized by the mouth — the well-formed goat bleats, of all forms, and attains the dear portion of Indra and Pūṣan.
This goat, led forward before the swift horse, is the share of Pūṣan to be offered to all the gods.
Adab al-wazīr
The she-goat of the pastoral proverb used for the resolute man.
But if he sets before its sudden strokes the caution of the watchful man, and meets them with the equipment of the man on his guard, he turns back their onset with the resolve of one possessed of prudence, who has milked the full udders of his age and risen with the plain mark of his she-goat.
Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Sacrificial goat born from clarified butter and cooked as the 'five-porridge sacrifice,' central to a rite said to exceed the Atirātra, Ukthya, and Agniṣṭoma and to legitimate remarriage.
by its glow it reaches the quarters — this goat, the five-porridge sacrifice.
the goat, the five-porridge sacrifice, is measured equal to the Dīrghasattra.
She who, having known a first husband, then finds another — those two, cooking the goat as the five-porridge offering, shall not be separated.
Stromata
Animal excluded from most sacrifice under the Law.
In this way too the Law does not sacrifice the goat, except in the single rite of the sending-away of evils, since pleasure is the metropolis of vice.
Works and Days
Young goats (kids), whose gelding is assigned to a particular day of the month.
Nor is the first sixth a fit day for a girl to be born, but a kindly for gelding kids and sheep and for fencing in a sheep cote.
On the Estate of Hagnias
One hundred goats listed among the livestock Theophon bequeathed to Stratocles's adopted daughter.
for Theophon, his wife's brother, at his death adopted one of his daughters and left her his property, consisting of land at Eleusis worth two talents, 60 sheep, 100 goats, furniture, a fine horse which he rode when he was a cavalry commander, and all the rest of his goods and chattels.
Ansāb al-ʻArab al-qudamāʼ
The she-goat behind the tribal name ʻAnz, and the apparent animal behind ʻAnazah, which Zaydan instead derives from the short spear of that name.
ʻAnazah, the father of the well-known tribe, was so called because he killed a man with a short spear (*ʻanazah*), his name in origin being ʻĀmir.
