"In Gallia non solum in omnibus civitatibus atque in omnibus pagis partibusque sed paene etiam in singulis domibus factiones sunt, earumque factionum principes sunt qui summam auctoritatem eorum judicio habere existimantur.... Haec est ratio in summa totius Galliae, namque omnes civitates in partes divisae sunt duas.

Abl. abs. denoting an additional circumstance. Cf. 2: expulsis professoribus, note. Olim limits victis. XII. Honestior. The reverse was true in the Trojan War.

From him we learn that Varro feared the entire collapse of the old faith; that he attributed its decline in some measure to the outward representations of divine objects; and, observing that Rome had existed 170 years without any image in her temples, instanced Judea to prove "eos qui primi simulacra deorum populis posuerunt, eos civitatibus suis et metum dempsisse, et errorem addidisse."

Quibus ille ait quia, Et aliis civitatibus oportet me evangelizare regnum dei. His discussion of the fifth chapter Tertullian begins by asking why, out of all possible occupations, Christ should have fixed upon that of fishing, to take from thence His apostles, Simon and the sons of Zebedee. By this allusion Jesus sanctioned those very prophecies which Marcion rejected.

Non cani nec rugae repente auctoritatem arripere possunt, sed honeste acta superior aetas fructus capit auctoritatis extremos. 63 Haec enim ipsa sunt honorabilia, quae videntur levia atque communia, salutari appeti decedi assurgi deduci reduci consuli, quae et apud nos et in aliis civitatibus, ut quaeque optime morata est, ita diligentissime observantur.

I have also compared the translation in the two codd., Vercellensis and Veronensis, of the Old Latin in Bianchini's edition. In solitudinem procedit.... Detentus a turbis: Oportet me, inquit, el aliis civitatibus annuntiare regnum dei. Luke v. 42, 43: Ibat in desertum sertum locum ... et detinebant illum ne discederet ab eis.

Other fragments of deep interest are preserved by Augustine. One, showing the conception of the state religion as a purely human institution, explains why human antiquities are placed before divine, "Sicut prior est pictor quam tabula picta, prior faber quam aedificium; ita priores sunt civitates, quam ea quae a civitatibus instituta sunt."
