Part Fourth

Footnotes

^[1676] “Scriblita,” a curious word.

^[1677] Fel miscetur aceto. The reading may have arisen—and it is not confined to our author—from confounding ὄξος with οἶνος. Comp. Matt. 27.33; Mark 15.23

^[1678] This is an error, if the “coat” be meant.

^[1679] Perhaps for “in illa” we should read “in illam”—“on it,” for “in it.”

^[1680] The Jews.

^[1681] For “ante diem quam cum pateretur” I have read “qua tum.”

^[1682] Or, “deed”—“factum.”

^[1683] Or, “is being poured”—“funditur.”

^[1684] Mundi.

^[1685] I read with Migne, “Patris sub imagine virtus,” in preference to the conjecture which Oehler follows, “Christi sub imagine virtus.” The reference seems clearly to be to Heb. i. 3.

^[1686] Ævo. Perhaps here ="eternity.”

^[1687] i.e., “The All-Holder.”

^[1688] Capit.

^[1689] Cf. Jacob’s words in Gen. xxxii. 30; Manoah’s in Judg. xiii. 22; etc.

^[1690] Mundi.

^[1691] For “dimisit in umbris” I read here “demisit in imbris.” If we retain the former reading, it will then mean, “dispersed during the shades of night,” during which it was that the manna seems always to have fallen.

^[1692] “Sitientis” in Oehler must be a misprint for “sitientes.”

^[1693] There ought to be a “se” in the Latin if this be the meaning.

^[1694] For “Mundator carnis seræ” ="the Cleanser of late flesh” (which would seem, if it mean anything, to mean that the flesh had to wait long for its cleansing), I have read “carnis nostræ.”

^[1695] Lignum.

^[1696] I have followed the disjointed style of the Latin as closely as I could here.
