Chapter 53

Notes

1. 1

   But the Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. reads, “erat enim multum pecuniæ arida”—for she had a great greed for money.

2. 2

   But Cyril, Epiphanius, and others, make the name Cubricus (Κούβρικος).

3. 3

   Versuum.

4. 4

   This may express with sufficient nearness the original, “nec Manem sed Manes.”

5. 5

   The Codex Casinensis gives sexaginta regularly. The Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. reads septuaginta, seventy.

6. 6

   Transfert eos. It may be also “translated them.”

7. 7

   The text gives, “edictum proposuit in vita,” etc. For in vita it is proposed to read invitans; and that is confirmed by the Codex Reg. Alex. Vat.

8. 8

   We adopt the reading “qui cubum, quod nomen est tali, ludere solent.” The text gives, “qui cibum quod nomen est tale eludere solent.” The Codex Reg. Alex. Vat. seems to read, “qui cubum quod nomen est aleæ ludere solent.”

9. 9

   Ferri talento.

10. 10

    The text gives, “quique fugientes licet nunquam cessarunt,” etc. Codex Reg. Alex. Vat has, “licet nunquam cessarent” etc.
