Deor., iii. 21, a passage where there is some doubt as to the reading) enumerates as the four Muses, Thelxiope, Aoede, Arche, Melete.\n115 The ms. reads Murtylus. Seven are said to have been mentioned by Epicharmis,-Neilous, Tritone, Asopous, Heptapolis, Achelo\u00efs, Tipoplous, and Rhodia.\n116 The nine are Clio, Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, Polymnia, Ourania, and Calliope (Theog., 77-79).\n117 Lit., \"into the end of the same opinion.\"\n118 Lit., \"in the middle,\" \"intermediate.\"\n121 Lit., \"the undertaking of religion itself is brought into the danger,\" etc.\n123 Lit., \"that the number is nine.\" [i.e., a triad of triads; the base a triad, regarded, even by heathen, as of mystical power.]\n124 A grammarian who lived in the time of Augustus, not to be confounded with Cicero's correspondent.\n126 The Etruscans held (Pliny, H. N., ii. 52) that nine gods could thunder, the bolts being of different kinds: the Romans so far maintained this distinction as to regard thunder during the day as sent by Jupiter, at night by Summanus.\n127 So LB., reading relig- for the ms. reg-iones.\n129 Lit., \"if the number nine bring on the name of,\" etc.\n130 Lit., \"gives another's might and power to gods presiding.\"\n131 Lit., \"the title of this name.\"\n132 Lit., \"after they have finished the mortality of life,\" i.e., either as above, or \"having endured its perishableness.\"\n134 So most edd., following Gelenius, who reads esse nomen for the ms. si omnes istud.\n135 Lit., \"who have deserved to,\" etc.\n136 The ms. reads immortalium, corrected in the edd. urbem Ilium.\n137 Supposed to be either the genius attending Jupiter; the family god as sent by him; or the chief among the genii, sometimes mentioned simply as Genius.\n138 Lit., \"whom the commonalty receives.\"\n139 Consentes (those who are together, or agree together, i. e, councillors) and Complices (confederate, or agreeing) are said by some to be the twelve gods who composed the great council of heaven; and, in accordance with this, the words una oriantur et occidant una might be translated \"rise and sit down together,\" i.e., at the council table. But then, the names and number of these are known; while Arnobius says, immediately after, that the names of the dii Consentes are not known and has already quoted Varro, to the effect that neither names nor number are known. Schelling (\u00fcber die Gotth. v. Samothr., quoted by Orelli) adopts the reading (see following note), \"of whom very little mention is made,\" i.e., in prayers or rites, because they are merely Jove's councillors, and exercise no power over men, and identifies them with the Samothracian Cabiri-Ka/beiroi and Consentes being merely Greek and Latin renderings of the name.\n140 So the ms. and all edd. reading miserationis parcissimae, except Gelenius, who reads nationis barbarissimae-\"of a most barbarous nation;\" while Ursinus suggested memorationis parc.-\"of whom very little mention is made,\"-the reading approved by Schelling.\"\n141 Lit., \"shaken to its foundations.\"\n142 Aeribus. Cf. Lucretius, ii. 633-636.\n143 The ms. reads manas, corrected as above by all edd. except Hild, who reads Manias.\n144 The ms. reads effunctorum; LB. et funct., from the correction of Stewechius; Gelenius, with most of the other edd., def.\n145 The ms. and first ed. omit non.\n146 Lit., \"because of aversion.\"\n147 Lit., \"the form of their race.\"\n148 i.e., ignorabitur et nescietur.\n149 The ms. reads consolationem-\"for each consolation,\" i.e., to comfort in every distress.\n153 Saturn and Hercules were so worshipped.\n155 The ms., first five edd., and Oehler read terreor-\"terrified;\" the others tor., as above, from the conjecture of Gifanius.\n156 Cf. ch. 40, note 21. It may further be observed that the Etruscans held that the superior and inferior gods and men were linked together by a kind of intermediate beings, through whom the gods took cognizance of human affairs, without themselves descending to earth. These were divided into four classes, assigned to Tina (Jupiter), Neptune, the gods of the nether world, and men respectively.\n157 So LB., Hild., and Oehler, reading nomine ne; all others ut, the ms. having no conjunction.\n158 Lit., \"it is fitting that you stand in the limits of,\" etc.\n159 i.e., Summus Manium, Pluto.\n2 Lit., \"in the regions of heaven.\"\n3 The ms. reads tam (corrected by the first four edd. tamen) in regionibus-\"in the divine seats;\" corrected, religionibus, as above, by Ursinus.\n4 Lit., \"to the deluding of your deities.\"\n5 Lit., \"is contained in a form of its own kind.\"\n7 Lit., \"which it is easy to perceive to be said by us with the greatest truth from,\"etc.,-so most edd. reading nobis; but the ms., according to Crusius, gives vobis-\"you,\" as in Orelli and Oberth\u00fcr.\n9 The ms., first four edd., and Elmenhorst, read, quae-\"which;\" the rest, as above, que.\n10 Lit., \"what is opposed to them named.\" nominatum; a correction by Oehler for the ms. nominatur- \"is named.\"\n11 The ms. and both Roman edd. read signatorum-\"sealed;\" the others, except Hild., ignotorum, as above.\n12 Lit., \"drew the meaning of her name.\"\n13 Lit., \"excelled the might of all.\"\n14 ms., \"that these, too,\" i.e., as well as Luperca.\n15 No such discussion occurs in the preceding part of the work, but the subject is brought forward in the end of chap. 8, p. 478, infra.\n16 In the first sentence the ms. reads utrique, and in the second utique, which is reversed in most edd., as above.\n17 Lit., \"ever at hand with gracious assistances.\"\n19 6 i.e., the field of Cannae.\n22 Lit., \"it cannot be brought into any light of general understanding by you.\"\n25 Lit., \"to the state of the world.\"\n26 Lit., \"who have been so formed, that some things are said by us,\" nobis, the reading of Oberth\u00fcr and Orelli for the ms. in nos- \"with regard to us,\" which is retained by the first four edd., Elm., Hild. and Oehler.\n27 i.e., transit in vocabulum sinistri; in being omitted in the ms. and both Roman edd.\n28 Lit., \"the turning round of the body being changed.\"\n29 So Oehler, reading positione, sed tempore sed, for the ms. positionis et temporis et.","title":"chr/ecf/006/footnote/fn74.htm","type":"page"}
