4518. `Et ego mortales numeri {1}': quod significet quod facile, constat ex significatione `mortalium numeri,' quod sint pauci; at cum quale loco quanti in sensu interno secundum seriem intelligitur, tunc significatur facile; nam pauci, cum contra illos `congregantur multi', ut sequitur,' facile perduntur. @1 Heb. [ ] (methe mispar) = `men of number,' i.e., men to be counted or few men: S usually translates methim by homines. Mortales is probably due to association with Heb. [ ] (muth) to die.$
