Liber III CLOSEOUT — toward Liber Quartus
End of the Third Book (our series 20/20). The Fourth Book follows editorially from Arise, come and winter past, where Rufinus expounds more fully, as far as Catch the foxes and Amen at the end of the surviving commentary. Thus far, from the shaded couch through the hollow of the rock and the little foxes, with the Lord’s help, we have set in order. Amen.
Latin
Finis Libri Tertii (series nostra 20/20). Sequitur Liber Quartus editorialiter a Surge, veni et hieme transita, ubi Rufinus plenius exponit, usque ad Capite vulpes et Amen in fine commentarii superstitis. Hactenus a cubili umbroso usque ad foramen petrae et vulpes pusillas, Domino adiuvante, digessimus. Amen.
