66 Ps. lxxi. 15 [LXX.]. "Sanctus in negotiationem introisse se negat," says St. Ambrose, from Ps. lxxi. 15. According to the Septuagint, "ouk egnwn pragmateia," which in the old Latin versions became "quoniam non cognovi negotiationes" (the Vulgate has "literaturam" for "negotiationes").
68 S. Luke xii. 17.
69 Prov. xi. 26. St. Ambrose cites the same verse each time, but the first time according to LXX. The second time he varies the commencement.
70 Cic. de Off. III. 11, §67.
71 It is not certain to what date the famine mentioned by St. Ambrose is to be referred, nor is the name of the prefect of the city certainly known. The Praefectus Urbis was at this time the highest officer of the city, directly representing the emperor, and except to the latter there was no appeal from his decisions. Amongst other duties he exercised a supervision over the importation, exportation, and prices of provisions. As St. Ambrose, §48, calls him "sanctissimus senex," he was probably a Christian.
