Thesis 24.16

Latin

Eadem quae Rhea dicitur ut Saturno coexistens secundum suam summitatem, ut Iouem producit et cum Ioue totales et partiales deorum ordines, dicitur Caeres.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 16161; 1486 print folio <9v/10r>

English

The same goddess who is named Rhea, in so far as she abides together with Saturn at her summit, and in so far as she brings forth Jove and, with Jove, the total and the partial orders of the gods, is called Ceres.

Latin 'Caeres' (sic) rendered 'Ceres'. Feminine 'goddess' supplied for the relative pronoun's antecedent 'Rhea'; the Latin itself has only 'Eadem quae'. Sense checked against farmer1998:16221; no further crux.
