Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[4895] Pium far.
[4896] [See p. 519, note 1, supra.]
[4897] Lit., “the returns by which the vital alternation is restored and withdrawn.”
[4898] So the ms., Hild., and Oehler, reading suffec-tionibus alienis, for which the rest read suffi-—“the fumigations of others.”
[4899] Lit., “feel and receive one contact.”
[4900] Lit., “as each has been made for the touching of a thing coming from without.”
[4901] So Gelenius and later edd., reading afficiturfor the unintelligible reading of ms. and Roman edd., efficit—“effects.”
[4902] So all edd., without remark, reading cog-it-atione, although “meditation” has nothing to do with the sense of smell, and has not been previously mentioned. We should probably read cog-n-atione—“relation,” i.e., to such objects.
[4903] So LB. and Oehler, reading ni-si. (ms. si), and other edd. inserting non, the negative being absolutely necessary to the sense, and supplied in the next clause.
[4904] Lit., “nor will it have its cause.”
[4905] Although this is clearly the meaning, Stewechius explained solidos by referring to the ancient belief that such offerings should be wholly consumed, and no fragment left.
[4906] Briæ, drinking-cups, but of their peculiar shape or purpose we know nothing.
[4907] Lit., “badly.”
[4908] Lit., “being strangled, may be.”
[4909] So LB., Orelli, and Oehler, reading with Salmasius m-u-scos (ms. -i-). Gelenius proposed cnissas, which would refer to the steam of the sacrifices.
[4910] Lit., “interior.”
[4911] So most edd., reading nimirum quia plus valet, for which the ms., followed by both Roman edd., Hild., and Oehler, read primum. q. v., which Hild. would explain “because it prevails above all rather than;” but this is at least very doubtful.
[4912] Vino inferio.
[4913] Lit., “bound by religion.”
[4914] This is admirably illustrated in an inscription quoted by Heraldus: “Jupiter most excellent, supreme, when this day I give and dedicate to thee this altar, I give and dedicate it with these conditions and limits which I say openly to-day.”
[4915] Circumscriptione verborum.
