Arnobius

Footnotes

^[3664] i.e., from one horse to another—desultores.

^[3665] Rationibus et constitutionibus.

^[3666] Lit., “it should be believed.”

^[3667] Lit., “unless there were joined.”

^[3668] So the ms., reading contentio, which Orelli would understand as meaning “contents,” which may be correct. LB. reads conditio—“condition,” ineptly; and Ursinus in the margin, completio—“the filling up.”

Chapter XXXIX

^[3669] So the later edd., from the margin of Ursinus, reading quod temeritatis est maximæ for the ms. quem—“whom it shows the greatest rashness to speak of.”

^[3670] Lit., “goddesses.”

^[3671] So Gelenius (acc. to Orelli), reading as in the margin of Ursinus, terrenæ circumscriptionis, for the unintelligible reading of the ms., temerariæ, retained in both Roman edd., Canterus, and (acc. to Oehler) Gelenius. LB. reads metariæ—“a limiting by boundaries.”

^[3672] Lit., “motions.”

^[3673] Cf. Lucr., v. 229 sq. The same idea comes up again in iv. 21.

^[3674] Lit., “in.”

^[3675] According to Hildebrand, the ms. reads dissimular-ent circumscribere, so that, by merely dropping nt, he reads, “to dissemble and cheat;” but according to Crusius, iri is found in the ms. between these two words, so that by prefixing m Sabæus in the first ed. read m-ent-iri as above, followed by all other edd.

^[3676] Lit., “to roll…in the mind.”

^[3677] Rigaltius and Hildebrand regard decipere as a gloss.

^[3678] So the ms., reading formari, followed by Hildebrand and Oehler; but all the other edd. give the active form, -are.

^[3679] Lit., “from.”

^[3680] The condition, i.e., of freedom.

^[3681] LB., seemingly received by Orelli, though not inserted into his text, reads poscerent eos for the ms. -entur, which Hildebrand modifies -ent ea as above.

^[3682] Lit., “certain.”

^[3683] Lit., “by error.”

Chapter XL

^[3684] Lit., “the sad necessity should be laid upon them, that,” etc.
