Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[4484] i.e., Jupiter.
[4485] Lit., “in the signification of his daughter.”
[4486] So the margin of Ursinus—ut reris for the ms. ut ce-reris.
[4487] Lit., “colours of.”
[4488] The ms. and both Roman edd. read indecorum est, which leaves the sentence incomplete. LB., followed by later edd., proposed de-cursum est, as above (Oehler, inde d.—“from these recourse has been had”), the other conjectures tending to the same meaning.
[4489] “We need only;” lit., “it is enough for us to.”
[4490] Lit., “heard.”
[4491] Lit., “in the obscure mind of senses.”
[4492] “Or at the time,” aut tum, the correction of LB, for the ms. sutum.
[4493] Lit., “fear of any reason and of religion.”
[4494] Lit., “proper.”
[4495] Lit., “from shut-up things.”
[4496] Rei.
[4497] Lit., “placed.”
[4498] Lit., “his suspicion and conjectural (perhaps “probable”) inference.”
[4499] Lit., “to be deduced with variety of expositions through numberless ways.”
[4500] The ms., first four edd., and Hild. read de his—“about these,” corrected in the others dîs or diis, as above.
[4501] Lit., “each.”
[4502] Pl.
[4503] Lit., “call.”
[4504] i.e., Proserpine. The readiness with which Arnobius breaks the form of the sentence should be noted. At first the gods represent physical phenomena, but immediately after natural events are put for the gods. In the ms. two copyists have been at work, the earlier giving Libero, which is rather out of place, and is accordingly corrected by the later, Libera followed by LB., Oberthür, Orelli, Hild., and Oehler.
