294 Scaturigo daemonica.

295 It is difficult to say what Tertullian means by his "comicum credo." Is it a playful parody on the heretic's name, the same as the comic poet's (Menander)?

325 Iliad, xxiii. 72, etc.

326 Enormitate.

327 We have treated this particle as a conjunction but it may only be an intensive particle introducing an explanatory clause: "even those which were pure," etc. [a better rendering.]

345 Nescio quid.

346 "Operienda" is Oehler's text; another reading gives "opperienda," q.d., "the soul must wait for the restored body."

347 This "etiam" is "otium" in the Agobardine ms., a good reading; q.d. "a most inquitous indifference to justice," etc.
