Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[4204] Orelli, without receiving into the text, approves of the reading of Stewechius, promptam, “evident,” for the ms. propriam.
[4205] Lit., “the benefits diminished by which it is lived.”
[4206] The ms. reads ex Jovis; the first five edd. Jove—“from Jove,” which is altogether out of place; the others, as above, ex ovis. Cf. i. 36.
[4207] The ms. reads et ablui diebus tantis…elevari; LB., Hild. and Oehler, statis or statutis…et levari—“and was loosed and released on fixed days;” Elm., Oberthür, and Orelli receive the conjecture of Ursinus, et suis diebus tantum…rel., as above.
[4208] Cf. iii. [cap. 41, p. 475, and cap. 30, p. 472].
[4209] i.e., hiding-place. Virg., Æn., viii. 322: Quoniam latuisset tutus in oris.
[4210] Pyth., iii. 102 sq.
[4211] ms. Meglac.
[4212] The ms. and most edd. give filias, making the Muses daughters of Macarus; but Orelli, Hild., and Oehler adopt, as above, the reading of Canterus, filiæ, in accordance with Clem. Alex.
[4213] So the ms. reading numquid dictatum, which would refer this sentence to the end of the last chapter. Gelenius, with Canth., Oberth., and Orelli, reads quis ditatam, and joins with the following sentence thus: “Who related that Venus, a courtezan enriched by C., was deified…? who that the palladium,” etc. Cf. v. 19.
[4214] The ms. reads quis mensibus in Arcadia tribus et decem vinctum—“Who that he was bound thirteen months in Arcadia? was it not the son,” etc. To which there are these two objections—that Homer never says so; and that Clemens Alexandrinus [vol. ii. p, 179, this series], from whom Arnobius here seems to draw, speaks of Homer as saying only that Mars was so bound, without referring to Arcadia. The ms. reading may have arisen from carelessness on the part of Arnobius in quoting (cf. ch. 14, n. 2), or may be a corruption of the copyists. The reading translated is an emendation by Jortin, adopted by Orelli.
[4215] Sardibus,—a conjecture of Ursinus, adopted by LB., Hild., and Oehler for the ms. sordibus; for which the others read sordidi—“for the sake of base lust.”
[4216] Lit., “the masculine one.”
[4217] As this seems rather extravagant when said of one of the immortals, læsam, “hurt,” has been proposed by Meursius.
[4218] Castor and Pollux.
[4219] Lit., “contained.”
[4220] The ms. reads Hieronymus Pl.—“is Hier., is Pl.,” while Clem. Alex. mentions only “Hieronymus the philosopher.”
[4221] These names are all in the plural in the original.
[4222] So LB. and Orelli, reading Alopas, from Clem. Alex., for the ms. Alcyonas.
[4223] These names are all in the plural in the original.
[4224] Lit., “you add.”
