Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[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.
[4505] The ms. reads primo. Cf. c. 20.
[4506] Proles.
[4507] [κυκεὼν, a draught resembling caudle. See p. 499, note 10.]
[4508] Lit., “by change of things.”
[4509] The ms. omits ad, supplied by Ursinus.
[4510] So all edd., except Hild. and Oehler, reading obscur-atisfor the ms. -itatibus.
[4511] Lit., “were placed above the interior truth.”
[4512] Lit., “with simple senses.”
[4513] i.e., involved in obscurity.
[4514] i.e., free from ambiguity.
[4515] Lit., “of shut-off obscurities.”
[4516] The reference is to the words in the middle of the chapter, “how do you know which part is simple?” etc.; Arnobius now saying that he does not see how this can be known.
[4517] Proles.
[4518] Lit., “for penalty and.”
[4519] Lit., “in their customs and conditions.”
[4520] i.e., if historical, the whole must be so, as bits of allegory would not fit in.
