Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[4283] i.e., mulsum.
[4284] i.e., Faunus and Picus.
[4285] Capite.
[4286] Cæpitio.
[4287] Jupiter is supposed to say humano, meaning capite, to be understood, i.e., “with a man’s head,” while the king supplies capillo—“with a man’s hair.”
[4288] Anima(ms. lia).
[4289] Mæna. There is here a lacuna in the text; but there can be no difficulty in filling it up as above, with Heraldus from Plutarch, or with Gelenius from Ovid, piscis—“with the life of a fish.”
[4290] The ms. and both Roman edd. read Numa, corrected by Gelenius, as above, non.
[4291] The ms. and edd. read cred-i-musne—“do we believe,” for which Meursius suggests -e- as above.
[4292] Lit., “or whether.” Below the ms. reads corruptly ad ipsum—“to him.”
[4293] The ms. reads scire, but “knows” would hardly suit the context. Instead of adopting any conjecture, however, it is sufficient to observe, with Oehler, that scire is elsewhere used as a contraction for sciscere.
[4294] The ms. omits ut.
[4295] So Cujacius, inserting vi, omitted by the ms.
[4296] Lit., “so great.”
[4297] Lit., “the fumigation of verbenæ,” i.e., of boughs of the laurel, olive, or myrtle.
[4298] The ms. omits ut.
[4299] Lit., “the uncertain things of that ambiguity.”
[4300] Lit., “unless a mortal anticipated”—præsumeret, the ms. reading.
[4301] So Oehler, supplying quem.
[4302] Lit., “liveliness of heart is procured.”
[4303] Lit., “why.”
