Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

4889. 'And he asked the men of her place' means that truths were consulted. This is clear from the meaning of 'asking' as consulting, and from the meaning of 'the men' as truths, dealt with in 265, 749, 1007, 3134, 3309. 'The men of the place' means truths connected with the state belonging to the matter, for 'place' means state, 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387.
