Introduction, by the American Editor.
[2483] i.e., Cybele.
[2484] The earth’s irrigations, and the washings of the image of Cybele every year in the river Almo by her priests, are here confusedly alluded to. For references to the pagan custom, see White and Riddle’s large Lat. Dict. s. v. Almo.
[2485] Mithras, the Persian sun-god, was symbolized by the image of a lion. The sun entering the zodiacal sign Leo amidst summer heat may be glanced at.
[2486] Deficiam ad.
[2487] Sordidum. [Well and nobly said.]
[2488] De industria ingeniis aut viribus ampliavit.
[2490] Tertullian, it should be remembered, lived in Africa.
[2491] Cantharidis.
[2492] Adamavit.
[2493] Laboravit.
[2494] Paupertina. This and all such passages are, of course, in imitation of Marcion’s contemptuous view of the Creator’s work.
[2495] Cellula.
[2496] Infantat.
[2497] Mendicitatibus.
[2498] Matricem.
[2499] Medullas.
