Introductory Notice to Arnobius.
[4996] Lit., “he was, and such as he had learned that he was, contained in the power of his divinity.”
[4997] Lit., “to ambiguous contradictions.”
[4998] 3 in Orelli.
[4999] Lit., “if your services of certain persons are certain,” i.e., if these facts on which your worship is built are well ascertained.
[5000] What species of snake this was, is not known; the Latin is therefore retained, as the sentence insists on the distinction.
[5001] Anguem.
[5002] Serpentem.
[5003] Lit., “bearing himself on feet, nor unfolding below his own goings.”
[5004] Lit., “to a.”
[5005] So Hild. and Oehler, reading labefac-t-amusfor the ms. -i-.
[5006] This sentence alone is sufficient to prove that these chapters were never carefully revised by their author, as otherwise so glaring repetitions would certainly have been avoided.
[5007] Here the ms. and both Roman edd. insert the last clause, “what…forests.”
[5008] in Orelli.
[5009] in Orelli.
[5010] Lit., “wanting.”
[5011] The ms., 1st ed., Hild., and Oehler read gener-ent, corrected in the rest, as above, -arent.
[5012] Lit., “all wicked and distinguished by no diversity.”
[5013] Lit., “the human race has been mixed in,” etc.
[5014] So all edd., reading vi morbi, except Hild., who retains the ms. vi urbi, in which case the italics should denote “of the disease,” instead of “to the city.” The construction, however, seems to make it impossible to adhere to the ms..
[5015] Lit., “to have erred much from.”
[5016] In Orelli.
