Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[4054] Lit., “who have deserved to,” etc.
[4055] The ms. reads immortalium, corrected in the edd. urbem Ilium.
[4056] Supposed to be either the genius attending Jupiter; the family god as sent by him; or the chief among the genii, sometimes mentioned simply as Genius.
[4057] Lit., “whom the commonalty receives.”
[4058] Consentes (those who are together, or agree together, i.e., councillors) and Complices (confederate, or agreeing) are said by some to be the twelve gods who composed the great council of heaven; and, in accordance with this, the words una oriantur et occidant una might be translated “rise and sit down together,” i.e., at the council table. But then, the names and number of these are known; while Arnobius says, immediately after, that the names of the dii Consentes are not known and has already quoted Varro, to the effect that neither names nor number are known. Schelling (über die Gotth. v. Samothr , quoted by Orelli) adopts the reading (see following note), “of whom very little mention is made,” i.e., in prayers or rites, because they are merely Jove’s councillors, and exercise no power over men, and identifies them with the Samothracian Cabiri—Κάβειροι and Consentes being merely Greek and Latin renderings of the name.
[4059] So the ms. and all edd. reading miserationis parcissimæ, except Gelenius, who reads nationis barbarissimæ—“of a most barbarous nation;” while Ursinus suggested memorationis parc.—“of whom very little mention is made,”—the reading approved by Schelling.
[4060] Lit., “shaken to its foundations.”
[4061] Æribus. Cf. Lucretius, ii. 633–636.
[4062] The ms. reads manas, corrected as above by all edd. except Hild., who reads Manias.
[4063] The ms. reads effunctorum; LB. et funct., from the correction of Stewechius; Gelenius, with most of the other edd., def.
[4064] The ms. and first ed. omit non.
[4065] Lit., “because of aversion.”
[4066] Lit., “the form of their race.”
[4067] i.e., ignorabitur et nescietur.
[4068] The ms. reads consolationem—“for each consolation,” i.e., to comfort in every distress.
[4069] The ms. omits et.
[4070] The dii inferi.
[4071] The dii superi.
[4072] Saturn and Hercules were so worshipped.
[4073] Apollo.
[4074] The ms., first five edd., and Oehler read terreor—“terrified;” the others tor., as above, from the conjecture of Gifanius.
