Introduction, by the American Editor.
[6767] Tertullian’s “Dum ita rerum habet” is a copy of the Greek οὕτω τῶν πραγμάτων ἔχουσο.
[6768] Deflectitur a.
[6769] Casus sui.
[6770] Rerum ex liberalitatibus.
[6771] De actia fuit. [See Vol. I. pp. 320, 321.]
[6772] It is not necessary, with Rigaltius, to make a difficulty about this, when we remember that Tertullian only refers to a silly conceit of the Valentinians touching the origin of the sacred name.
[6773] Or does “nec habens supervolare crucem” mean “being unable to elude the cross?” As if Tertullian meant, in his raillery, to say, that Achamoth had not the skill of the player who played the part of Laureolus. Although so often suspended on the gibbet, he had of course as often escaped the real penalty.
[6774] A notorious robber, the hero of a play by Lutatius Catullus, who is said to have been crucified.
[6775] Temperata.
[6776] Ille.
[6777] Recogitavit.
[6778] “Omnis anima hujus mundi” may, however, mean “every living soul.” So Bp. Kaye, On Tertullian, p. 487.
[6779] Cetera.
[6780] Achamoth’s.
[6781] Exitum.
[6782] Utique.
[6783] These two rivers, with their peculiar qualities, are mentioned by Pliny, H. N. ii. 103; [and the latter by Milton against Salmasius.]
[6784] Ovid. Metam. iv. 286.
[6785] Pipiavit.
[6786] Qui.
[6787] As light.
