Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[3523] So the edd., reading in totidem sexus for the ms. sexu—“into so many kinds in sex.”
[3524] Lit., “in so great occupations of life.”
[3525] Cf. Plato, Phædo, st. p. 81.
[3526] So, by a later writer in the margin of the ms., who gives artificiosa-s novitates, adopted by Stewechius and Oehler, the s being omitted in the text of the ms. itself, as in the edd., which drop the final s in the next word also—“would raise and with unknown art strike out lofty buildings.”
[3527] Lit., “born.”
[3528] Throughout this discussion, Arnobius generally uses the plural, animæ—“souls.”
[3529] So Elmenhorst, Oberthür, and Orelli, reading par-a-v-it sibi et for the ms. parv-as et, “from continual failure has wrought out indeed slight smattering of the arts,” etc., which is retained in both Roman edd., LB., and Hild.; while Gelenius and Canterus merely substitute sibi for et, “wrought out for itself slight,” etc.
[3530] Lit., “or received understanding of God by the breath of any suspicion.”
[3531] The ms. gives c-etera-que, “and the rest,” which is retained in both Roman edd., and by Gelenius and Canterus, though rather out of place, as the enumeration goes on.
[3532] Lit., “equal to the highness (summitati) of the prince.”
[3533] So LB. and Orelli, reading qui-a; the rest, qui—“who.”
[3534] So Gelenius, reading divinitusfor the ms. divinas, i.e., “with a divine nature and origin,” which is retained in the first ed. and Orelli.
[3535] The ms., both Roman edd., Hild., and Oehler, read ut, “so that there are.”
[3536] Cf. on this Platonic doctrine, ch. 24, p. 443, infra.
[3537] Lit., “a feeling of cold.”
[3538] Lit., “sound of voice at all.”
[3539] Lit., “of heaven terribly crashing.”
[3540] So the later edd., adopting the emendation of Scaliger, nothum—“spurious,” which here seems to approach in meaning to its use by Lucretius (v. 574 sq.), of the moon’s light as borrowed from the sun. The ms. and first four edd. read notum, “known.”
[3541] According to Huet (quoted by Oehler), “between that spurious and the true light;” but perhaps the idea is that of darkness interposed at intervals to resemble the recurrence of night.
[3542] Lit., “born, and that, too (et wanting in almost all edd.), into the hospice of that place which has nothing, and is inane and empty.”
[3543] So most edd. reading porrigeturfor the ms. corrigetur—“be corrected,” i.e., need to be corrected, which is retained in the first ed.
