Quoniam tam negligens suerat homo in mandato tradito; hinc factum est, ut tanto diligentius ingressus muniretur, et flameus gladius, cum versatur obturet et praemuniat omnes vias quiae illuc ferunt, ut continuam memoriam et timorem ille incutere possit. S. Chrysost. in IV. Cap. Genes. hom. 18. Joh. El. Ridinger inv. fec. et excud. Aug. Vind. .... Contains quotation of Genesis 3.24 in German and French
