Chapter 46

Notes

1. 1

   Castellum. [Note, infra, the “holy kiss.”]

2. 2

   The text runs: “tametsi prudentiam, gloriam etiam, nostrorum nonnulli assecuti sunt, tamen hoc vos deprecor ut eorum quæ ante me dicta sunt, testimonium reservetis.” Routh suggests prudentia = Although by their prudence some have gained glory, etc.

3. 3

   Pro ipsius impossibilitate. But Routh suggests that the impossibiIitate is just an inexact translation of the ἀδυνατία = impotentia, incapacity, which may have stood in the Greek text.

4. 4

   Reading “Marcelli viri illustris gratia.” The Codex Casinensis has, “viri in legis gratia.”

5. 5

   Matt. vii. 24.

6. 6

   The text gives “similis facere astrologo,” for which Routh proposes “similis factus est,” etc.
