Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[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.”
[4837] Lit., “established in.”
[4838] Lit., “weighed by their own force,” vi.
[4839] i.e., altariaque hæc pulchra.
[4840] Lit., “you show yourselves,” præstatis.
[4841] Lit., “most.” So Tibullus (Eleg., ii. 1, 13): “Pure things please the gods. Come (i.e., to the sacrifice) with clean garments, and with clean hands take water from the fountain,”—perfect cleanliness being scrupulously insisted on.
[4842] This Heraldus explains as “of worse omen,” and Oehler as “more unclean.”
