1271 Specula, "a look-out;" skhnh/ is the word in LXX.
1274 This is probably the meaning of a very involved sentence: "Quid ex hoc ordine secundum dispensationem et praedicationes Creatoris recensendo competit illi, cujus ("Creatoris"-Oehler) nec ordinem habet nec dispositionem ad parabolae conspirationem qui totum opus semel facit?"
1275 "By the fathers." See above.

1292 What in the Punic language is called Mammon, says Rigaltius, the Latins call lucrum, "gain or lucre." See Augustine, Serm. xxv. de Verbo domini. I would add Jerome, On the VI. of Matthew where he says: "In the Syriac tongue, riches are called mammon." And Augustine, in another passage, book ii., On the Lord's Sermon on the Mount, says: "Riches in Hebrew are said to be called mammon. This is evidently a Punic word, for in that language the synonyme for gain (lucrum) is mammon." Compare the same author on Ps. ciii. (Oehler).
