Introductory Notice To Lactantius.
[1998] [Let us recall our Lord’s forewarning: Matt. x. 16 and Luke x. 3.]
[1999] See note 1, p. 109.
[2000] As cited by Jarvis, Introd., p. 379.
[2001] Baluz, Miscellanea, tom, i. p. 2.
[2002] Opp., Ed. Walchii, p. 435.
[2003] Quæstt. in Exod., lib. ii., Opp., tom. iii., p. 337.
[2004] Affluentes.
[2005] From Muratorii Antiquit. Ital. med. æv.
[2006] From Maxim. Victorin. de carmine heroico. Cf. Hieron., Catal., c. 80. We have also another treatise, which is entitled “On Grammar.”

[2009] Virg., Æn., viii. 660.
[2010] From Hieron., Commentar. in ep. ad Gal., l. ii., opp. ed. Vallars. viii. 1, p. 426. Hieron., De Viris Illus., c. 80: we have “four books of epistles to Probus.”
[2011] [A curious expansion of the fable so long supposed to be authentic history of a natural wonder, and probably derived from Oriental tales corroborated by travellers. See vol. i. p. 12; also iii. 554. Yezeedee bird-worship may have sprung out of it.]
[2012] Remotus. The reference is supposed to be to Arabia, though some think that India is pointed out as the abode of the phœnix.
[2013] Hiat.
[2014] Cædis amore furor. There is another reading, “cedit.”
[2015] Vellera, “thin fleecy clouds.” So Virg., Georg., i. 397; Tenuia nec lanæ per cœlum vellera ferri.
[2016] Vivum.
[2017] Per singula tempora mensum.
[2018] Unica, “the only one.” It was supposed that only one phœnix lived at one time. So the proverb “Phœnice rarior.”
