Introductory Note.

[731] Comp. The Apology, c. xxxiii., p. 37, supra, and Minucius Felix, Octavius, c. xxiii. [Vol. IV. this Series.]

Chapter XVIII.—Christians Charged with an Obstinate Contempt of Death. Instances of the Same are Found Amongst the Heathen.

[732] Comp., The Apology, c. 50 [p. 54, infra.]

[733] A virtute didicerunt.

[734] With the “piget prosequi” to govern the preceding oblique clause, it is unnecessary to suppose (with Oehler) the omission here of some verb like “erogavit.”

[735] Novitatem…dedicavit.

[736] Tertullian refers to Cleopatra’s death also in his tract ad Mart. c. iv. [See this Vol. infra.]

[737] This case is again referred to in this treatise (p. 138), and in ad Mart c. iv. [See this Volume, infra.]

[738] Eradicatæ confessionis. [See p. 55, supra.]

[739] Non invenitur.

[740] Eadem voce.

[741] Utique. The ironical tone of Tertullian’s answer is evident.

[742] Gladio ad lanistas auctoratis.

[743] We follow Oehler in giving the clause this negative turn; he renders it: “Tretet nicht aus Furcht vor dem Tode ins Kriegsheer ein.”

[744] Alicui.

[745] Jam evasit.

[746] Auctoravit.

[747] Vestiendum incendiale tunica.

[748] Inter venatorios: “venatores circi” (Oehler).

[749] “Doubtless the stripes which the Spartans endured with such firmness, aggravated by the presence of their nearest relatives, who encouraged them, conferred honour upon their family.”—Apology, c. 50. [See p. 55, supra.]

Chapter XIX.—If Christians and the Heathen Thus Resemble Each Other, There is Great Difference in the Grounds and Nature of Their Apparently Similar Conduct.

[750] Compare The Apology, cc. xlvii. xlviii. xlix. [This Vol., supra.]

[751] Præstruitur.
