8.2 Coæquans. Non enim homines in terra viventes intantum humiliabantur, ut funiculo super extenso terræ apparerent æquales: sed adeo viles et contempti, ut in nullo plus valerent, quam terra quæ nullos homines habet. Funiculum autem pro sorte posuit; quia funiculo solet mensurari, secundum illud: et sorte divisit eis terram in funiculo distributionis Psal. 77.. Significat autem quod tam libere regiones Moabitarum, quibus vellet divideret, quam possessor agros proprios. RAB. Significat autem quia quos voluit potuit occidere, et quibus voluit potuit parcere.
