Introductory Notice To Lactantius.
[1941] Sacramento
[1942] Metitur, “measures.”
[1943] Corpusculum. The diminutive appears to imply contempt.
[1944] The expression is too general, since the body as well as the soul is a true part of man’s nature. [Perhaps so; but Lactantius is thinking of St. Paul’s expression (Philipp. iii. 21), “the body of our humiliation.”]
[1945] Quem rectum rectè sortitus est. In some editions the word “recte” is omitted.

Of the Manner in Which the Persecutors Died.
[1958] [Not “the persecutors,” but only some of them. This treatise is, in fact, a most precious relic of antiquity, and a striking narrative of the events which led to the “conversion of the Empire,” so called. Its historical character is noted by Gibbon, D. and F., vol. ii. 20, n. 40.]
[1959] [See cap. 16, infra.]
