Introduction, by the American Editor.
[6907] Neque detentui obnoxii.
[6908] Neque conspectui obnoxii.
[6909] Si ita est: or, “since such is the fact.”
[6910] Claudent.
[6911] But slaves, in fact.
[6912] This parenthetic clause, “tacendo jam dixi,” perhaps means, “I say this with shame,” “I would rather not have to say it.”
[6913] The common reading is, “Onesimum Æonem,” an Æon called Onesimus, in supposed allusion to Philemon’s Onesimus. But this is too far-fetched. Oehler discovers in “Onesimum” the corruption of some higher number ending in “esimum.”
[6914] This is Oehler’s idea of “et nulla jam fabula.” Rigaltius, however, gives a good sense to this clause: “All will come true at last; there will be no fable.”
[6915] The same as Macariotes, in ch. viii. above, p. 507.
[6916] Velut epicitharisma.
[6917] Emendatoribus.
[6918] Censum.
[6919] Tertullian, however, here gives the Latin synonyme, Invisibilis.
Chapter XXXVI.—Less Reprehensible Theories in the Heresy. Bad is the Best of Valentinianism.
[6920] The “Gemonian steps” on the Aventine led to the Tiber, to which the bodies of executed criminals were dragged by hooks, to be cast into the river.
[6921] Mappa, quod aiunt, missa: a proverbial expression.
[6922] Istam.
[6923] See above, ch. vii. p. 506.
[6924] Oehler gives good reasons for the reading “ingenia circulatoria,” instead of the various readings of other editors.
[6925] Insignioris apud eos magistri.
[6926] Non proferentes. Another reading is “non proserentes” (not generating).
[6927] Sermo.
