Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[4377] So Stewechius, followed by Orelli and Oehler, reading quibus Ia for the ms. jam, which would refer the action to Cybele, whereas Arnobius expressly says (c. 7) that it was the newly wedded wife who covered the breast of Attis with wools. Jam is, however, received from the ms. by the other edd., except Hild., who asserts that the ms. reads Iam, and Elmenh., who reads Ion.
[4378] i.e., priests of Cybele, their names being derived from the Phrygian river Gallus, whose waters were supposed to bring on frenzy ending in self-mutilation.
[4379] Lit., “with wailing.”
[4380] Lit., “with.”
[4381] Lit., “and the duty of defence itself.”
[4382] i.e., secret rites, to which only the initiated were admitted.
[4383] Lit., “which you deliver”—traditis; so Elmenh., LB., and later edd., for the unintelligible ms. tradidisse, retained in both Roman edd.
[4384] Lit., “deformity affixed to all.”
[4385] ms. fetam f. Cf. i. 36, n. 2, p. 422, supra.
[4386] So Heraldus, from Plutarch, Rom., 21, where Butas is said to have written on this subject (αἰτίαι) in elegiacs, for the ms. Putas.
[4387] Lit., “in like manner and with dissimulation.”
[4388] i.e., heart, lungs, and liver, probably of a sacrifice.
[4389] i.e., “divination, augury,” etc.
[4390] Vis Lucilii, i.e., semen. [He retails Pliny xxxvi. 27.]
[4391] Cf. iv. 24.
[4392] So the ms. and edd., reading gens illa, for which Memmius proposed Ilia—“and all the Trojan race.”
[4393] Lit., “riding upon”—inequitare.
[4394] Lit., “most open.”
[4395] Subsessoris.
[4396] Lit., “growling”—fremitum.
[4397] The ms. reads primo, emended as above by the brother of Canterus, followed by later edd.
