Introduction, by the American Editor.
[6684] Meritorium.
[6685] This is perhaps a fair rendering of “Insulam Feliculam credas tanta tabulata cœlorum, nescio ubi.” “Insula” is sometimes “a detached house.” It is difficult to say what “Felicula” is; it seems to be a diminutive of Felix. It occurs in Arrian’s Epictetica as the name of a slave.
[6686] We follow Tertullian’s mode of designation all through. He, for the most part, gives the Greek names in Roman letters, but not quite always.
[6687] Expostulo: “I postulate as a first principle.”
[6688] Tertullian is responsible for this Latin word amongst the Greek names. The strange mixture occurs often.
[6689] Quadriga.
[6690] Factionis.
[6691] Ibidem simul.
[6692] Cellas.
[6693] Census.
[6694] Turbam.
[6695] Criminum.
[6696] Numinum.
[6697] We everywhere give Tertullian’s own names, whether of Greek form or Latin. On their first occurrence we also give their English sense.
[6698] Ebulliunt.
[6699] Proinde conjugales.
[6700] Of this name there are two forms—Αἶνος (Praise) and ᾽Αεινοῦς (Eternal Mind).
[6701] Or Τελετός (Teletus). Another form of this Æon’s name is Φιλητός (Philetus = Beloved). Oehler always reads Theletus.
[6702] Cogor.
[6703] Frigidissimus.
[6704] Cum virum fortem peroraret…inquit.
