Introductory Notice to Archelaus.
[1527] ἀνδριάς.
[1528] But the Latin gives, “cum statuta venerit dies” = when the appointed day has come.
[1529] αἱ δὲ προβολαὶ πᾶσαι.
[1530] πλοίῳ. [See Routh, p. 68, on this locus mire depravatus.]
[1531] κυβερνῆται.
[1532] τεῖχος.
[1533] τῶν δύο φύσεων. But the Latin version gives duorum luminarium, and the Codex Casinensis has luminariorum, the two luminaries.
[1534] Reading κλίματα, with Petavius, for κλήματα.
[1535] The Codex Casinensis makes no mention of Thomas.
[1536] Here ends the Greek of Epiphanius.
[1537] The words, the bishop, are omitted in the Codex Bobiensis.
[1538] But Codex Bobiensis gives duodecim, twelve.
[1539] But the Codex Bobiensis gives trisolium, the trisole. Strabo, book xv., tells us that the Persians wore high shoes.
[1540] Aërina, sky-like. [This portrait seems from life.]
[1541] Ducange in his Glossary, under the word Εβέλλινος, shows from Callisthenes that the prophets or interpreters of sacred things carried an ebony staff. [Ezek. xxvii. 15; Routh, p. 71.]
[1542] The text is, “vultus vero ut senis Persæ artificis et bellorum ducis videbatur.” Philippus Buonarruotius, in the Osservazioni sopra alcuni frammenti di vasi antichi di Vetro, Florence, 1716, p. 69, thinks that this rendering has arisen from the Latin translator’s having erroneously read ὡς δημιουργοῦ καὶ στρατηγοῦ instead of ὡς δημάρχου καὶ στρατηγοῦ. Taking στρατηγοῦ, therefore, in the civil sense which it bears in various passages, he would interpret the sentence thus: “His whole mien was like that of an old Persian tribune and magistrate.” See Gallandi’s note [in Routh, p. 71].
[1543] The text is secretius factum, etc. Routh suggests secretius factus, etc.
[1544] The Codex Bobiensis reads “Ægidius.”
[1545] Epiphanius gives Κλεόβουλος.
[1546] Codex Casinensis reads rectores, governors. And Epiphanius, num. 10, makes the first a professor of Gentile philosophy, the second a physician, the third a grammarian, and the fourth a rhetorician.
[1547] For primum the Codex Casinensis reads plurima, = he began a lengthened statement, etc.
