(2) The Falcidian Law,(Justinian, Digest of Roman Law, 35.2) by its first Article, conferred the power of disposing of an estate up to and including three-fourths of the same. English translation . It is followed in some manuscripts by a long and confused gloss, which adds the words "... if four or less." And then goes on, "Si autem plus quatuor, medietas eo tenore, ut sive liberis, sive propinquis idem exteris pater sua legaret, illa pars quam Falcidius constituit, nisi pater interdixerit, et legatis fruentibus, et eisdem carentibus aequanimiter partiretur."
(3) Cassius Dio 48.43.4 , giving the date as 38 BC. Here one day, in 38 BC, oil suddenly started to gush out from the ground. This mysterious event was given the Latin name fons olei ("oil source", or "oil fountain"). This is the legend of S.Maria in Trastevere. A taberna meritoria was an upmarket tavern and lodging house.

10 a Herodes Antipatri Ascalonitae, et matris Cypridis Arabicae filius, a Romanis Judaeorum suscepit principatum: cujus tempore, Christi nativitate vicina, regnum, et sacerdotium Judaeae, quod prius per successiones minorum tenebatur, destructum est, completa prophetia, quae ita per Mosen loquitur: 17 34 34 Quae LXIX hebdomades 1 faciunt annos CDLXXXIII, in quibus Christi, id est, sacerdotes per unctionem consecrati regnaverunt usque ad Hyrcanum. Quo extremo omnium a Parthis capto, Herodes Antipatri filius nihil ad se pertinentem Judaeam ab Augusto et senatu accepit. Filiique ejus post eum regnaverunt usque ad novissimam Jerosolymitarum captivitatem, nequaquam ex successione sacerdotalis generis pontificibus constitutis, perpetuitate vitae secundum legem Moysi servientibus Deo. Ignobiles vero quidam, et alio tempore alii, et nonnulli unius anni, sive modico amplius, a Romanis imperatoribus sacerdotium emebant. Quae omnia etiam Daniel Propheta vaticinatur, dicens:
Judaeis regnavit HERODES alienigena, Deficiente Pontificum principatu, annis XXXVII.
"Non deficiet princeps ex Juda, neque dux de femoribus ejus, donec veniat, cui repositum est. Et ipse erit exspectatio gentium. " 2
In hoc etiam loco, Christus, quem Danielis scriptura praefatur, accepit finem. Nam usque ad Herodem, Christi, id est, sacerdotes erant reges Judaeorum, qui imperare coeperunt a LXV olympiade, et ab instauratione templi sub Dario usque ad Hyrcanum, et ad 186 olympiadem, annis CDXLIII in medio transactis: quos Daniel quoque significat, dicens:
" Et post hebdomadas VII et LXII interibit chrisma, et judicium non erit in eo, et templum et sanctum corrumpet populus duce veniente: et caedentur in cataclysmo belli. " Et in sequentibus: "Et super templum, inquit, abominatio desolationum: et usque ad consummationem temporis, consummatio dabitur super desolationem."

Et scies et intelliges ab initio sermonis respondendi, et aedificandi Jerusalem usque ad Christi principatum, hebdomades VII et hebdomades LXII. 1
(1) 'Hebdomades' is properly a 'group of seven' years rather than a week. The word 'weeks' is intended to be quaint or mystical, as note where it is initially explained by Leviticus 25:8 'numerabis quoque tibi septem ebdomades annorum id est septem septies quae simul faciunt quadraginta novem' -- 'And you shall count seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall be to you forty-nine years.' Jerome's 'id est' is not in the Heb (or RSV) but the phrase SHBX SHBTT SHNYM 'seven sabbaths of years' is clearly meant to be pointed in some way, and not just a way of saying something numerical like 'group of seven'. Even the Gk word E(BDOMAS is somewhat obscure [cf. Chantraine s.v. e(pta at end]. Finally, it is already traditional language in Jeromes time and remains so: NJB, Lev. 25:8 'You will count seven weeks of years--seven...' [note their long dash = Jeromes id est] and then Dan 9:24 'Seventy weeks are decreed...'.
