Footnotes
(a)45:1 The word ‘arcanis’ can refer to things that are understood or known only to a few, to things that are hidden or secret, or it can refer to persons who can be trusted with esoteric knowledge or secrets, i.e. confidants or trustworthy friends.(Conte)
(b)45:4 The word ‘eorum’ does not refer to ‘aquæ,’ because the former is masculine and the latter is feminine. The word ‘eorum’ refers to the mountains, ‘montes’ is masculine plural, as is ‘eorum.’ So, the mountains thundered (as they were being transferred to the sea), and the waters among them (among the mountains) were stirred up.(Conte)
