[9099] Constrictus. I have rendered after Oehler: but may not the meaning be “clenched,” like the hand which deals the blow?
[9100] As Oehler says “the blow” is said to “receive” that which, strictly, the dealer of it receives.
[9101] Improbum.
[9102] Matt. v. 11-12; Luke vi. 22-23.
[9103] Deut. xxi. 23; Gal. iii. 13. Tertullian’s quotations here are somewhat loose. He renders words which are distinct in the Greek by the same in his Latin.
[9104] Communicari—κοινοῦσθαι. See Mark vii. 15, “made common,” i.e. profane, unclean. Compare Acts x. 14, 15 in the Greek.
[9105] Reatum. See de Idol. i. ad init., “the highest impeachment of the age.”
[9106] Matt. xii. 36. Tertullian has rendered ἀργόν by “vani et supervacui.”
[9107] Dispungetur: a word which, in the active, means technically “to balance accounts,” hence “to discharge,” etc.
Chapter IX.—Of Patience Under Bereavement.
[9108] 1 Thess. iv. 13, not very strictly rendered.
[9109] Desiderandus.
[9110] Phil. i. 23, again loosely rendered: e.g. ἀναλῦσαι ="to weigh anchor,” is rendered by Tertullian “recipi.”
[9111] See Gal. v. 26; Phil. ii. 3.
[9112] Nunquam non.
[9113] i.e. perhaps superior in degree of malice.
[9114] i.e. of the world and its erroneous philosophies.
[9116] Fastidientes, i.e. our loathing or abhorrence of sin. Perhaps the reference may be to Rom. xii. 9.
[9118] Isa. lxiv. 8; 2 Cor. iv. 7.
[9119] Servulis.
