Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[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.
[3873] This seems the most natural way to deal with the clause et ex acuminibus auspicatis, looking on the last word as an adjective, not a verb, as most edd. seem to hold it. There is great diversity of opinion as to what this omen was.
[3874] The ms. reads in penetralibus et coliginis. LB., followed by Orelli, merely omits et, as above while the first five edd. read in pen. Vestæ ignis—“do you maintain the hearths of Vesta’s fire.” Many other readings and many explanations of the passage are also proposed.
[3875] i.e. Servius Tullius. The first four edd. read Tullo, i.e., Tullus Hostilius.
[3876] Cf. v. c. 1.
[3877] The ms. reads edi in filosophia; the first four edd., Philos.; Elmenh. and Orelli, Etenim phil.—“For were phil.;” LB., Ede an phil.—“say whether phil.,” which is, however faulty in construction, as the indicative follows. Rigaltius, followed by Oehler, emended as above, Medicina phil.
[3878] Lit., “reached the coasts of.”
[3879] Lit., “of the intestines”—extorum.
[3880] In both Roman edd., Theutatem, i.e., Theutas. Cf. Plato, Phædrus, st. p. 274.
[3881] i.e., Pluto.
[3882] Pl.
[3883] Lit., “Castors,” i.e., Castor and Pollux.
[3884] i.e., sine ullius seminis jactu.
[3885] Lit., “forms of bodily circumscription.”
[3886] Lit., “what we do is.”
[3887] Lit., “thing.”
