[428] It is difficult to say whether ‘palam’ goes with ‘fari’ or with ‘iussit.’ The former would seem more natural, but there would be little force in the word. The latter would cohere with ‘ipsa,’ showing the clearness of the revelation, as ‘manifestus’ and ἐναργής are frequently used in a similar connexion; but in that case we should almost have expected some additional circumstance such as would be supplied by the conj. ‘iacerem.’
