CHAP. XXXVII. In what manner the Copies were provided.
THese things the Emperour gave order for. Which Order of his was immediately fol∣lowed by the completion of the work it self; we having sent him a 1.1Ternions and Quaternions in Volumns magnificently adorned. Which very thing another answer of the Emperour's will at∣test. In which Letter (information having been given him, that the City Constantia in our Coun∣try,

heretofore consisting of men notoriously su∣perstitious, had by an b 1.2 impulse of piety receded from their Pristine errour of Idolatry;) he sig∣nified, that he rejoyced, and highly approved of that Action.
Notes
a 1.1
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. The Tran∣slatour ren∣ders it right, ter∣niones & quaterniones. For Parchment Copies were usually digested into Quaternions, that is, four sheets were made up together, as Ternions are three sheets made up together. And the Quaternions had sixteen pages the Ternions twelve. Further, in the last page of the Quaternion was set the number of the Quaternion, to wit, 1, 2, 3, and so on; as I have observed in the most ancient Copies, as well Greek as Latine. In a very old Copy of Gregorius Turonensis, which was written above nine hundred years since, in the last page of the Quaternion I found this mark, q. 1. that is, the first Quaternion. Further, the Reader is to be advertized, that in these words of Eusebius there is an Enallage. For he hath said 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 whereas it ought rather to have been worded thus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 In the Fuketian Copy this place is read thus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. And so I guess it was written in SrHenry Savil's Copy, because SrHenry hath under-mark't these three words, namely, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, with lines. Vales.
