Introduction, by the American Editor.
[6704] Cum virum fortem peroraret…inquit.
[6705] Tertullian’s joke lies in the equivocal sense of this cry, which may mean either admiration and joy, or grief and rage.
[6706] Audisti: interrogatively.
[6707] See above, chap. iv. p. 505.
[6708] Privilegia.
[6709] Castrata.
[6710] Tanta numerorum coagula.
[6711] The pædagogium was either the place where boys were trained as pages (often for lewd purposes), or else the boy himself of such a character.
[6712] Oehler reads, “hetæri (ἑταῖροι) et syntrophi.” Another reading, supported by Rigaltius, is “sterceiæ,” instead of the former word, which gives a very contemptuous sense, suitable to Tertullian’s irony.
[6713] Exceptio.
[6714] Tertullian has, above, remarked on the silent and secret practices of the Valentinians: see chap. i. p. 503.
[6715] In hunc derivaret.
[6716] Sed enim.
[6717] De Patre.
[6718] Præ vi dulcedinis et laboris.
[6719] It is not easy to say what is the meaning of the words, “Et in reliquam substantiam dissolvi.” Rigaltius renders them: “So that whatever substance was left to her was being dissolved.” This seems to be forcing the sentence unnaturally. Irenæus (according to the Latin translator) says: “Resolutum in universam substantiam,” “Resolved into his (the Father’s) general substance,” i. 2, 2. [Vol. I. p. 317.]
[6720] Illius.
[6721] So Grabe; but Reaper, according to Neander.
[6722] Animationem.
[6723] Exitum.
[6724] Uti quæ.
