Introduction, by the American Editor.

[6536] De situ.

[6537] Oehler here restores the reading “quod et de modo,” instead of “de motu,” for which Pamelius contends. Oehler has the mss. on his side, and Fr. Junius, who interprets “modo” here to mean “mass or quantity.” Pamelius wishes to suit the passage to the preceding context (see ch. xxxvi.); Junius thinks it is meant rather to refer to what follows, by which it is confirmed.

[6538] In loco.

[6539] Determinatur.

[6540] Lineam extremam.

[6541] Modo corporis: or “bulk.”

[6542] Nec tota fabricatur, sed partes ejus. This perhaps means: “It is not its entirety, but its parts, which are used in creation.”

[6543] Obduceris: here a verb of the middle voice.

[6544] In reference to the opinion above mentioned, “Matter is not fabricated as whole, but in parts.”

[6545] Ut exemplarium antiquitatis.

Chapter XXXIX.—These Latter Speculations Shown to Be Contradictory to the First Principles Respecting Matter, Formerly Laid Down by Hermogenes.

[6546] Rectius.

[6547] Definitiva.

[6548] Ut quæ fabricatur, inquis, a Deo.

[6549] Lineis. Tertullian often refers to Hermogenes’ profession of painting.

[6550] In partes venire.

[6551] Omnia ex omnibus.

[6552] i.e. of Matter.

[6553] Dinoscatur ex.

[6554] Utique ex pristinis.

[6555] Aliter habeant.

Chapter XL.—Shapeless Matter an Incongruous Origin for God’s Beautiful Cosmos. Hermogenes Does Not Mend His Argument by Supposing that Only a Portion of Matter Was Used in the Creation.

[6556] In melius reformatam.
