White and Riddle), which Tertullian either purposely connects with \"cloaca,\" a sewer (with which, indeed, it may be really connected, as coming derivatively from the same root), and takes to mean \"the nymphs of the sewers\" apparently.\n58 The nymphs above named (Oehler).\n59 i.e., are worn by his votaries.\n60 i.e., Christianity. Cf. 1 Cor. ii. 6, 7.\n63 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.\n65 \"Inhumano;\" or, perhaps, \"involving superhuman effort.\"\n66 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.\"\n67 i.e., the \"shoeing\" appropriate to the mantle will consist at most of sandals; \"shoes\" being (as has been said) suited to the gown.\n68 \"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.\n69 Reckoning the 1000 sesterces at their pre-Augustan value, \u00a38, 17s. 1d.\n70 \"Promulsis\" - a tray on which the first course (\"promulsis\" or \"antecoena\") was served, otherwise called \"promulsidare.\"\n71 As Pliny (quoted by Oehler) tells us was the case.\n73 Reckoning the 1000 sesterces at the post-Augustan value, \u00a37, 16s. 3d.\n74 Wordsworth's Greece, p. 263. London, 1839.\n75 See vol. i. p. 160, this series.\n76 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.\n77 See note on p. 160 of vol. i., this series.\n78 See his valuable and exhaustive treatise, the Vestiarium Christianum, especially pp. 73, 125, 233, 490.
