Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[3903] So Gelenius emended the ms., reading potens—“being able,” which he changed into potest, as above, followed by later edd.
[3904] Lit., “by such kinds of.”
[3905] The ms. and first edd. read et potestatibus potestatum—“and by powers of powers;” the other edd. merely omit potestatibus, as above, except Oehler, who, retaining it, changes potestatum into protestata—“being witnessed to by,” etc.; but there is no instance adduced in which the participle of this verb is used passively.
[3906] These words having been omitted by Oberthür, are omitted by Orelli also, as in previous instances.
[3907] The ms. and first ed. read etiam moderata continuatio; corrected, et immod. con. by Gelenius.
[3908] So the edd., reading infantes stentoreos, except Oehler, who retains the ms. reading centenarios, which he explains as “having a hundred” heads or hands, as the case might be, e.g., Typhon, Briareus, etc.
[3909] Lit., “measure.”
[3910] Lit., “things.”
[3911] Lit., “can be changed with no novelty.”
[3912] Lit., “provide,” conficiatis, which, however, some would understand “consume.”
[3913] Lit., “slaveries, their free births being taken away.”
[3914] Lit., “and.”
[3915] So the ms. first five edd., Hild. and Oehler, reading adscribere infortunio voluptatem, which is omitted in the other edd. as a gloss which may have crept in from the margin.
[3916] Lit., “our dark.”
[3917] The ms. and both Roman edd. read in carcerem natum inegressum; LB. and later edd. have received from the margin of Ursinus the reading translated above, datum, omitting the last word altogether, which Oehler, however, would retain as equivalent to “not to be passed from.”
[3918] Lit., “than an august thing.”
[3919] Orelli refers to Arrh., i. 12; but the doctrine there insisted on is the necessity of submission to what is unavoidable. Oehler, in addition, refers to Epict., xxxii. 3, where, however, it is merely attempted to show that when anything is withheld from us, it is just as goods are unless paid for, and that we have therefore no reason to complain. Neither passage can be referred to here, and it seems as though Arnobius has made a very loose reference which cannot be specially identified.
[3920] The ms., followed by Oehler, reads neque enim res stare…non potest, Christiana religio aut—“for neither can a thing not stand,…nor will the Christian religion,” etc., while L.B. merely changes aut into et—“for neither can a thing, i.e., the Christian religion,…nor will it,” etc. All other edd. read as above, omitting et.
[3921] According to Crusius and others, the ms. reads finem; but, according to Hild., fidem, as above.
[3922] Deus primus, according to Nourry, in relation to Christ; but manifestly from the scope of the chapter, God as the fountain and source of all things.
[3923] Lit., “propitiate with venerations.”
