Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[4816] Lit., “ruins.”
[4817] So Canterus suggests conf-iuntfor the ms. confic-—“bring about,”
[4818] Lit., “it is a thing of long and much speech.”
[4819] Lit., “the fortunes of perils.”
[4820] The ms. reading is hoc est unus, corrected honestus—“honourable” (which makes the comparison pointless, because there is no reason why a rich man, if good, should not be succored as well as a poor), in all edd., except Oehler, who reads seclestus, which departs too far from the ms. Perhaps we should read, as above, inhonestus.
[4821] So the ms., LB., Hild., and Oehler, and the other edd., adding et auxilium—“and help.”
[4822] Lit., “whom not his mind, but the necessity of his property, made restricted.”
[4823] Lit., “inclines thither whence.”
[4824] i.e., the decision.
[4825] Lit., “both nations.”
[4826] Lit., “the favours of good work,” boni operis favor-es et, the reading of Hild. and Oehler (other edd. -em—“the favour of its service”) for ms. fabore sed.
[4827] Lit., “of most powerful name.”
[4828] Lit., “imitating a slave’s servility”—ancillatum, the emendation of Hemsterhuis, adopted by Orelli, Hild., and Oehler for the unintelligible ms. ancillarum.
[4829] Lit., “things.”
[4830] Lit., “in higher places.”
[4831] Lit., “what eminences is it found to be added,” addier. So Hild. and Oehler for the reading of ms., first four edd., and Oberthür addere—“to add,” emended in rest from margin of Ursinus accedere, much as above.
[4832] So the ms., reading conjectionibus, which is retained in no edd., although its primary meaning is exactly what the sense here requires.
[4833] The last clause was omitted in first four edd. and Elmh., and was inserted from the ms. by Meursius.
[4834] Lit., “whom.”
[4835] Lit., “say in the proclamation of.”
[4836] Lit., “more powerful commands,” i.e., by Christ’s injunctions. It seems hardly possible that any one should suppose that there is here any reference to Christ’s command to His disciples not to exercise lordship over each other, yet Orelli thinks that there is perhaps a reference to Mark x. 42, 43. If a particular reference were intended, we might with more reason find it in 1 Pet. ii. 17, “Honour all men.”
