Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[4247] Lit., “has less bite, being weakened by the testimony of silent reviewing,” recognitionis.
[4248] Lit., “most enduring.”
[4249] Coetu. The ms. and most edd. read coalitu,—a word not occurring elsewhere; which Gesner would explain, “put away that it may not be established among men,” the sense being the same in either case.
[4250] Lit., “complain of the neglected insults of the other gods.”
[4251] Lit., “as a lover by.” Cf. Homer, Il., 14, 312.
[4252] i.e., of himself.
[4253] Lit., “except that which was full of religion.”
[4254] i.e., according to which such offenses should be punished.
[4255] Lit., “have willed.”
[4256] Lit., “full-grown race,” exoleti, a word frequently used, as here, sensu obscæno.
[4257] i.e., the actors, etc.
[4258] i.e., the crowd of adulterers, as Orelli suggests.
[4259] Lit., “draw enticements of pleasures from.”
[4260] Or, “Venus, the mother…and loving parent,” etc.
[4261] Lit., “of meretricious vileness.”
[4262] i.e., Cybele, to whom Mount Dindymus in Mysia was sacred, whose rites, however, were celebrated at Pessinus also, a very ancient city of Galatia.
[4263] ms. Sofocles, corrected in LB. Sophocles. Cf. Trach. 1022 sqq.
[4264] Lit., “towards (in) the last of the wasting consumed by the softening of his bowels flowing apart.”
[4265] Lit., “debauched and scoffers.”
[4266] So Orelli, reading et quando; ms. and other edd. et si—“and if ever.”
[4267] Arnobius is generally thought to refer here to the persecution under Diocletian mentioned by Eusebius, Hist. Eccl., viii. 2.
