Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[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.”
[4304] So Ovid also (Metam., i. 321), and others, speak of Themis as the first to give oracular responses,
[4305] So the ms. and edd., reading quam incestis, except Orelli, who adopts the conjecture of Barthius, nequam—“lustful Jupiter with lewd desires.”
[4306] So the ms. and edd., except Hildebrand and Oehler, who throughout spell Agdestis, following the Greek writers, and the derivation of the word from Agdus.
[4307] So Ursinus suggested, followed by later edd., ex utroque (ms. utra.) sexu; for which Meursius would read ex utroque sexus—“and a sex of both,” i.e., that he was a hermaphrodite, which is related by other writers.
[4308] Lit., “him.”
[4309] Lit., “of thirsting.”
[4310] Lit., “in time of need.”
[4311] So the reading of the ms. and edd., unum laqueum, may be rendered; for which Canterus conjectured imum—“the lowest part of the noose.”
[4312] So the edd., reading eo quo (ms. quod) fuerat privat sexu; for which Hild. and Oehler read fu-tu-erat—“of the sex with which he had been a fornicator.”
[4313] Lit., “these (i.e., the parts and the blood) are,” etc.
[4314] The ms. here reads Nata, but in c. 13 the spelling is Nana, as in other writers.
[4315] Lit., “as if.”
[4316] The ms. reads t-abulis, corrected as above p- by Jos. Scaliger, followed by Hild. and Oehler. The other edd. read bacculis—“berries.”
[4317] So all the edd., except Hild. and Oehler, who retain the ms. reading sanguinarius—“bloodthirsty.”
[4318] So Salmasius, Orelli, and Hild., reading repertum nescio quis sumit Phorbas, lacte; but no mention of any Phorbas is made elsewhere in connection with this story, and Oehler has therefore proposed forma ac lacte—“some one takes the child found, nourishes it with sweet pottage of millet (forma) and milk,” etc.
[4319] [See vol. ii. p. 175.]
[4320] Lit., “his silence.”
