¹⁵⁹ Apparere.

¹⁶⁰ Sapit.

¹⁶¹ Impegerit.

¹⁶² Descendisse autem, dum fit, videtur et subit oculos. Probably this bit of characteristic Latinity had better be rendered thus; "The accomplishment of a descent, however, is, whilst happening, a visible process, and one that meets the eye." Of the various readings, "dum sit," "dum it," "dum fit," we take the last with Oehler, only understanding the clause as a parenthesis.

¹⁶³ Suggestu.

¹⁶⁴ Indignum.

¹⁶⁵ Cui.

¹⁶⁶ Ingressuro praedictationem.

¹⁶⁷ This is the literal rendering of Tertullian's version of the prophet's words, which occur chap. ix. 1, 2. The first clause closely follows the LXX. (ed. Tisch.): Tou=to prw=ton pi/e, taxu/ poi/ei. This curious passage is explained by Grotius (on Matt. iv. 14) as a mistake of ancient copyists; as if what the Seventy had originally rendered taxu\ poi/ei, from the hiphil of l@l@q

, had been faultily written taxu\ pi/e, and the latter had crept into the text with the marginal note prw=ton, instead of a repetition of taxu\. However this be, Tertullian's old Latin Bible had the passage thus: "Hoc primum bibito, cito facito, regio Zabulon," etc.
