293 Gen. ii. 17 [Not ex natura, but as penalty.]

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)?

324 Ab inferis.

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.]

328 Litteratura.

329 Oehler takes these descriptive clauses as meant of Satan, instead of being synonymes of magic, as the context seems to require.

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.
