Introductory Notice to Archelaus.
[1560] Reading differens. But Codex Casinensis gives disserens.
[1561] Transformare.
[1562] Informatum.
[1564] Cf.Heb. viii. 13.
[1566] In inscitias ire vultis. It is proposed to read inficias = and yet ye desire to deny the truth. Routh suggests, et odistis et in inscitiam ire vultis = and ye hate it, and choose to take your way into ignorance.
[1567] Supplying observetis in the clause ut legem, etc.
[1568] Prævaricatorem. Gal. ii. 18 [Vulgate. But see p. 176].
[1570] Or, standard.
[1571] Titulo.
[1572] Ergastula.
[1573] Or, in the wicked one. 1 John v. 19.
[1574] The text gives “extra eum.” Routh suggests Deum, outside of God.
[1575] Vas.
[1576] The text gives simply “quod Dei substantia,” etc. We may perhaps adopt, with Routh, “quod si Dei,” etc.
[1577] Sedes. [“Thrones,” as in Milton.] Routh suggests sidera, luminaries.
[1578] Ingenitæ.
[1579] Fructus.
[1580] The reference is to the ancient custom of using wax and certain earths and clays for the purpose of affixing, by means of the ring, a seal with an impression on any object which it was desired to secure. Thus Herodotus, ii. 38, tell us how the Egyptians marked the pure victim by wrapping it round the horns with papyrus, and then smearing some sealing earth (γῆν σημαντρίδα) on it, and stamping it with a ring. See also Cicero, Pro Flacco, where he speaks of the laudatio obsignata cretâ illa Asiatica; and Plautus, Pseudolus, Scene i., where he mentions the expressam in cera ex annulo suam imaginem, etc. [Compare vol. v. p. 466, note 3, this series.]
