Thesis 28.22

Latin

Licet fiat multiplex coordinatio curruum, tamen inquantum attinet ad phylacteriorum mysterium duo sunt currus ordinandi, ita ut ex secunda, tertia, quarta, quinta, fiat unus currus, et sunt quatuor phylacteria quae induit Vau; et ex sexta, septima, octaua, et nona fit secundus currus, et sunt phylacteria quae induit ultima He.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 17959

Apparatus (Farmer): 1486 phylatteriorum ... phylatteria ... phylatteria | 1487 philatteriorum ... philatteria ... philatteria

1486 reads 'phylatteriorum ... phylatteria ... phylatteria'; 1487 reads 'philatteriorum ... philatteria ... philatteria' (farmer1998:17978).

English

Many an arrangement of chariots is possible, but for the mystery of the phylacteries only two need be built: one from the second, third, fourth, and fifth — the four phylacteries worn under Vav — and a second from the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth — the phylacteries worn under the final He.

Sense checked against farmer1998:18019; reworded to avoid near-identity with the published English at that line.
