Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[4128] The ms. reads Lemons; Hild. and Oehler, Limones; the others, Limos, as above.
[4129] The ms., LB., Hild., and Oehler read Murcidam; the others, Murciam, as above.
[4130] i.e., equestrian rank.
[4131] The ms. reading is quid si haberet in sedibus suos, retained by the first five edd., with the change of -ret into -rent—“what if in their seats the bones had their own peculiar guardians;” Ursinus in the margin, followed by Hild. and Oehler, reads in se divos suos—“if for themselves the bones had gods as their own peculiar,” etc.; the other edd. reading, as above, si habere insistitis suos.
[4132] i.e., deities. So LB. and Orelli, reading quid potestatum?—“what, O fathers of powers.” The ms. gives qui—“what say you, O fathers of new religions, who cry out, and complain that gods of powers are indecently dishonoured by us, and neglected with impious contempt,” etc. Heraldus emends thus: “…fathers of great religions and powers? Do you, then, cry out,” etc. “Fathers,” i.e., those who discovered, and introduced, unknown deities and forms of worship.
[4133] The ms. reads pertus quæ- (marked as spurious) dam; and, according to Hild., naeniam is written over the latter word.
[4134] So the ms. Cf. ch. 7 [note 10, p. 478, supra].
[4135] The ms. is here very corrupt and imperfect,—supplices hoc est uno procumbimus atque est utuno (Orelli omits ut-), emended by Gelenius, with most edd., supp. Mut-uno proc. atque Tutuno, as above; Elm. and LB. merely insert humi—“on the ground,” after supp. [See p. 478, note 6, supra.]
[4136] Meursius is of opinion that some words have slipped out of the text here, and that some arguments had been introduced about augury and divination.
[4137] Contendis, not found in the ms.
[4138] i.e., the predictions.
[4139] Lit., “will you make the same belief.”
[4140] Lit., “adapt themselves to the significations of the things which.”
[4141] Lit., “brothers of.”
[4142] i.e., demons.
[4143] Perhaps “abilities”—materiis.
[4144] The ms. reads cum—“with similar reason we may believe,” instead of cur, as above.
[4145] Lit., “novelty of the thing.”
[4146] Lit., “of places and divisions,” i.e., places separated from each other.
[4147] Lit., “affords to you the appearance of.”
[4148] Lit., “a severity of stern manner”—moris for the ms. mares.
