Introductory Notice to Archelaus.
[2116] Reading tunc for nunc.
[2117] Solarium quoddam excelsum.
[2118] The Codex Casinensis gives, “ut inde ab aliquo convinci possit.” But the Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. reads, “ut ne ab aliquo,” etc. We adopt, therefore, “ne ab aliquo,” etc., taking the idea to be, as is suggested in Migne, that Manes went up alone, because he feared that, if observed by Parcus and Labdacus, the priests of Mithras, he might expose himself to punishment at the hands of the Persian rulers for an offence against their religion. [Manes here seems put for Terebinthus.]
[2119] Sub terras eum detrudi per spiritum.
[2120] But the Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. reads, “erat enim multum pecuniæ arida”—for she had a great greed for money.
[2121] But Cyril, Epiphanius, and others, make the name Cubricus (Κούβρικος).
[2122] Versuum.
[2123] This may express with sufficient nearness the original, “nec Manem sed Manes.”
[2124] The Codex Casinensis gives sexaginta regularly. The Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. reads septuaginta, seventy.
[2125] Transfert eos. It may be also “translated them.”
[2126] The text gives, “edictum proposuit in vita,” etc. For in vita it is proposed to read invitans; and that is confirmed by the Codex Reg. Alex. Vat.
[2127] We adopt the reading “qui cubum, quod nomen est tali, ludere solent.” The text gives, “qui cibum quod nomen est tale eludere solent.” The Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. seems to read, “qui cubum quod nomen est aleæ ludere solent.”
[2128] Ferri talento.
[2129] The text gives, “quique fugientes licet nunquam cessarunt,” etc. Codex Reg. Alex. Vat has, “licet nunquam cessarent” etc.
[2130] Reading “dicebam.” But the Codex Casinensis gives “dicebant,” and the Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. has “decebat”—as became them.
[2131] Reading “converti ad salutem,” for “conventi,” etc., as it is given in the Codex Casinensis.
[2132] Conscribebantur. [Note this concerning the Christian books.]
[2133] Nuntios. But Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. gives “novitios,” novices.
[2134] The text gives “fatigarent.” But Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. gives “fugarent”—expel.
[2135] The text gives “invenientes.” The Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. more correctly has “inveniens”—when he came upon.
[2136] But Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. reads “Stracum fluvium.”
