Introduction, by the American Editor.
[6359] Cognominatam.
[6361] Quæ cui nomen terræ accommodare debeat. This is literally a double question, asking about the fitness of the name, and to which earth it is best adapted.
[6362] He means those who have gone wrong on the eternity of matter.
[6363] Proinde.
[6364] A mixed metal, of the colour of amber.
[6367] Qualitatem ejus: unless this means “how He made it,” like the “qualiter fecerit” below.
[6373] Utique.
[6374] Prosequi.
[6375] Primo præfari, postea prosequi; nominare, deinde describere. This properly is an abstract statement, given with Tertullian’s usual terseness: “First you should (‘decet’) give your preface, then follow up with details: first name your subject, then describe it.”
[6376] Alioquin.
[6377] Hermogenes, whose view of the narrative is criticised.
[6378] Integer.
[6379] Autem.
