81. sic et tu fac.
82. in pace tecum Pascha celebret.
83. There is here a lacuna in the MS.
84. certus sum peculiariter; It is thus punctuated by Ziwsa, but it seems to me that the semi-colon should rather be placed after sum, and that peculiariter belongs to coluisse in the next sentence.
85. Silvanum te coluisse.
86. Cf. Jer. xxxi, 3; 1 John iv, 9,
87. impetu.
88. ut per te fiat pinguissima pax.
89. There is another lacuna here in the MS,
90. We shall soon see that they wanted Donatus.
91. tabulam argenteam.
92. secundo petato quomodo hoc dimisit, ut duceremur ad Carthaginem. I have translated this sentence making Silvanus the subject of dimisit ; in this case hoc dimisit = 'dismissed this matter' (i.e. escaped the penalty). But the magistrate may be the subject----' how it was that the magistrate discharged the matter----that is, that we should be led' etc. For petato Voelter ( Der Ursprung des Donatismus, Freiburg 1883, p. 56) reads placito.
93. capitulata.
94. apud Constantinam.
95. capitulata.
96. de cupis fisci. We shall see that the casks were of vinegar. Fiscus denoted the imperial revenue, as opposed to the aerarium, the Senate's treasury,
97. post Pacem ---- ' after the Peace' = after the cessation of persecution, when it was possible to elect a new Bishop.
98. harenarius. Harenaria (less correctly arenaria ) is a sand-pit, or a catacomb in sand, like those which lead into the Roman catacombs.
99. tulit eum in collo.
100. in area martyrum = 'Court of the Martyrs,' probably the atrium of a Church of the Martyrs.
101. in casa maiore. A penthouse roof probably ran round the court, with pillars. The largest side would be the casa maior.
102. Nundinario in MS. But this clearly is an error. It should be Saturnino.
103. de cup as de fano at aceto (we may note the use of de with accusative and ablative in the same sentence).
104. saccellum: hence the English word satchel.
105. populus minutus = the people in 'reduced' circumstances, literally 'reduced people.'
