Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[3852] So LB., Orelli, Oehler, adopting the emendation of Ursinus, tu te muneris commoditate privaveris, for the unintelligible reading of the ms., tuti m. c. probaveris.
[3853] i.e., immortal, deos, so corrected by Gelenius for the ms. deus—“if either God made us.”
[3854] So most edd., reading inanis for the ms. animi; retained, though not very intelligible, in LB., while Hild. reads anilis—“foolish.”
[3855] So the ms. now reads verti; but this word, according to Pithœus, is in a later handwriting, and some letters have been erased.
[3856] So the edd., reading tibi desit? opem desideras tibi, except Hild. and Oehler, who retain the ms. reading, t. d. o. desideranti—“as though He failed you desiring Him to bring help.”
[3857] So Ursinus, reading in ania cognomines for the ms. in alia, which Orelli would interpret, “call the reverse of the truth.”
[3858] Lit., “For the parts of bringing…has enjoined and given over,” partes…injunctum habet et traditum, where it will be important to notice that Arnobius, writing rapidly, had carried with him only the general idea, and forgotten the mode in which this was expressed.
[3859] Pontificium.
[3860] Here, too, according to Pithœus, there are signs of erasure.
[3861] i.e., admit.
[3862] This passage at once suggests John x. 9 and xiv. 6, and it is therefore the more necessary to notice the way in which Arnobius speaks (“so to say”), which is certainly not the tone of one quoting a passage with which he is well acquainted. [Elucidation I.]
[3863] Lit., “bent.”
[3864] Cf. i. 13 and 58.
[3865] Lit., “crops being invented.”
[3866] So the later edd., reading constiteritfrom the margin of Ursinus; but in the ms. and first four edd. the reading is constituerit—“has established,” for which there is no subject.
[3867] So the later edd., reading aversionem ex (LB., and preceding edd. a) religione for the ms. et religionem—“against us the hatred and religion of past ages.”
[3868] Lit,, “with the condemnation of.”
[3869] This shows that the division of the people into classes was obsolete in the time of Arnobius.
[3870] Turnebus has explained this as merely another way of saying the comitia centuriata, curiata and tributa.
[3871] So the edd. reading cum paratis bella (Oehler reads reparantes) for the ms. reparatis.
[3872] i.e., per clarigationem, the solemn declaration of war, if restitution was not made within thirty-three days.
