Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[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.”
[3888] Lit., “how many steps are there of race.”
[3889] i.e., Jupiter and Picus.
[3890] The ms. reads genitor…Latinus cujus, some letters having been erased. The reading followed above—genitor is cujus—was suggested to Canterus by his friend Gifanius, and is found in the margin of Ursinus and Orelli.
[3891] Cf. above, “four hundred years ago,” etc., and i. ch. 13. It is of importance to note that Arnobius is inconsistent in these statements. [In the Edinburgh edition we have here “fifteen hundred years;” etc., but it was changed, in the Errata, to ten hundred and fifty.]
[3892] Lit., “be nursed with the breasts and dropt milk.”
[3893] Lit., “of what space.”
[3894] i.e., re.
