Philosophumena; or, The refutation of all heresies, Volume II
David Hume · en
[Footnote 121: οὐ πτωχεύει. The phrase has given much concern to
commentators. Cruice suggests δὲ γὰρ πολυωρεῖ, “has a great esteem
for thee.” Wordsworth translates “has a longing for thee.” Macmahon
“(by such signal condescension) does not diminish aught of the dignity
of His divine perfection.” The phrase is probably an allusion to the
heathen notion formally stated by Aelius Aristides and others that the
gods _had need_ of the sacrifices of mortals.]
