Sed inter scriptores plurinnim auctoritate apud Islandos
valuit Arius saccrdos, Thorgilsi filius, cognomine hinn
Frodi, h. e. Polyhistor, de quo primum breviter disseremus.
A.
DE ARII FRODIS CHRONOLOGIA.
§• 5.
Arius Polyhistor a. 1068 p. Ch. natus atque 1148 obiens,
et propter aetatem, quoniam omnium primus scripsit, et pro-
pler doctrinam illo tcmpore maximam et propter prudentiam
ac circumspectionem, qua fidissimis testibus usus est, et
propter patientiam quandam magnopcre exquirendi verum,
Islandis juslo jure videbatur homo gravissimi esse ponderis,
cujus narralio sincera rataque esset habenda. Sic enim Snorro
Sturlae filius de Ario praefatur: „Omnia ab eo relata multis
hujusmodi gnaris videnlur praecipue memoratu digna: erat
enim vir insignis prudentiae ejusque aetatis, ut proxima hieme
post caedem Ilaraldi Sigurdi f'ilii natus esset,“ et iterum fon-
tibus ejusdem enumcratis: „Non igitur mirum,“ ait, „quod
Arius sacerdos rerum priscarura, tum hac in tcrra, quum
apud exteros g'estarum veram no.titiam tenebat, quam ipse
discendi cupidus, prudens ac tenaci memoria praeditus a vi-
ris aetate provectis atque rerum scientissimis acceperat (1).“
