Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[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.
[4075] Cf. ch. 40, note 21. It may further be observed that the Etruscans held that the superior and inferior gods and men were linked together by a kind of intermediate beings, through whom the gods took cognizance of human affairs, without themselves descending to earth. These were divided into four classes, assigned to Tina (Jupiter), Neptune, the gods of the nether world, and men respectively.
[4076] So LB., Hild., and Oehler, reading nomine ne; all others ut, the ms. having no conjunction.
[4077] Lit., “it is fitting that you stand in the limits of,” etc.
[4078] i.e., Summus Manium, Pluto.
[4079] Lit., “see altars built.”
[4080] Lit., “in the regions of heaven.”
[4081] The ms. reads tam (corrected by the first four edd. tamen) in regionibus—“in the divine seats;” corrected, religionibus, as above, by Ursinus.
[4082] Lit., “to the deluding of your deities.”
[4083] Lit., “is contained in a form of its own kind.”
[4084] i.e., manliness.
[4085] Lit., “which it is easy to perceive to be said by us with the greatest truth from,” etc.,—so most edd. reading nobis; but the ms., according to Crusius, gives vobis—“you,” as in Orelli and Oberthür.
[4086] Lit., “less auspicious.”
[4087] The ms., first four edd., and Elmenhorst, read, quæ—“which;” the rest, as above, que.
[4088] Lit., “what is opposed to them named,” nominatum; a correction by Oehler for the ms. nominatur—“is named.”
[4089] The ms. and both Roman edd. read signatorum—“sealed;” the others, except Hild., ignotorum, as above.
[4090] Lit., “drew the meaning of her name.”
[4091] Lit., “excelled the might of all.”
[4092] ms., “that these, too,” i.e., as well as Luperca.
