Part Fourth

Footnotes

^[62] Or, “forcipes.”

^[63] Of course the meaning is, “on the doffing of which a man congratulates himself more,” etc.; but Tertullian as it were personifies the act of doffing, and represents it as congratulating the doffer; and I have scrupulously retained all his extravagances, believing them (in the present treatise at least) to be intentional.

^[64] A Cynic philosopher.

^[65] “Inhumano;” or, perhaps, “involving superhuman effort.”

^[66] Oehler attempts to defend the common reading, “humerum velans exponit vel includit;” but the correction of Salmasius and Lud. de la Cerda which he quotes, “vel exponit,” is followed in preference. If Oehler’s reading be retained, we may render: “a covering for the shoulder, it exposes or encloses it at will.”

^[67] i.e., the “shoeing” appropriate to the mantle will consist at most of sandals; “shoes” being (as has been said) suited to the gown.

^[68] “Erat.”—Oehler, who refers to “errat” as the general reading, and (if adopted) renders: “This sentiment errs (or wanders) in all directions;” making olim = passim.

^[69] Reckoning the 1000 sesterces at their pre-Augustan value, £8, 17s. 1d.

^[70] “Promulsis”—a tray on which the first course (“promulsis” or “antecœna”) was served, otherwise called “promulsidare.”

^[71] As Pliny (quoted by Oehler) tells us was the case.

^[72] Or, “adulterated.”

^[76] But it was assuming a questionable point (See Kaye, p. 49) to give it this name in the title, and I have retained it untranslated.
