Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[3815] So Heraldus, whose punctuation also is here followed, omitting id est sapor—“that is, taste,” which Meursius and LB., followed by Orelli, amend, ut est—“as taste is” in each thing.
[3816] Vel is here inserted in all edd., most of which read, as above, oloris, which is found in the ms., in later writing, for the original, coloris—“colour,” retained by Ursinus, LB., and Oehler.
[3817] Lit., “that the nature of man is.”
[3818] So the ms., according to Crusius, reading nec pro suis; while, according to Hild., the reading is prorsus—“and are utterly without hesitation,” adopted in the edd. with the substitution of et for nec—“and that they altogether hesitate,” which, besides departing from the ms. runs counter to the sense.
[3819] Lit., “transfer to Him the undecided conversions of the breast.”
[3820] Lit., “He can be formed by no imagination.”
[3821] Lit., “which the obscurity of sacred divinity contains;” which Orelli interprets, “the most exalted being holds concealed from mortals.”
[3822] Lit., “and being fixed on.”
[3823] i.e., Christ.
[3824] As Heraclitus is reported to have said.
[3825] The ms., first five edd., and Oehler read supernatum, for which the other edd. read, as above, semper natum, from the margin of Ursinus. The soul is referred to.
[3826] So the later edd., following Elmenhorst, who emended dico for the ms. dici, omitted by the first four edd.
[3827] So most edd., reading sciolis, from the emendation of Gelenius; but the ms., first five edd., Hild., and Oehler read scholis—“by some schools, and (these) arrogating very much to themselves.”
[3828] Cf. ch. 13, p. 439; Plato, Rep., ii. st. p. 364, where Glaucon speaks of certain fortune-telling vagrant seers, who persuade the rich that they have power with the gods, by means of charms and sacrifices, to cleanse from guilt; and also Origen, contra Cels., i. 69, where the Magi are spoken of as being on familiar terms with evil powers, and thus able to accomplish whatever is within these spirits’ power.
[3829] Mentioned by Servius (on Æn., viii. 399) as composed by Tages, cap. 69 [p. 460, supra], and seemingly containing directions as to expiatory sacrifices.
[3830] Pl.
[3831] Lit., “a spirit of perpetuity.”
[3832] i.e., than the Supreme God.
[3833] Lit., “are.”
[3834] Lit., “all human things.”
[3835] i.e., reason.
