Thesis 24.36

Latin

Quatuor sunt exercitus iuniorum deorum. Primus habitat a primo coelo usque ad principium aeris; secundus inde usque ad dimidium aeris. Tertius inde usque ad terram.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 16491

English

The younger gods form four hosts. One has its seat between the first heaven and the start of the air; a second, from that point to the middle of the air; a third, from there down to the earth.

Only three hosts are listed although the Latin says four (farmer1998:16491-16493); Farmer flags the discrepancy and calls the pair 24.36-37 possibly unfinished (farmer1998:16564). Translated as written, discrepancy retained. 'iuniores dei' rendered 'younger gods'.
