Note to Anon Hsv 137VII

[All]: Lat. parallel: (Dist. IV, 38) Ture deum placa, vitulum sine crescrat aratro: / ne credas gaudere deum, cum caede litatur ‘Please God with incense, that the calf may grow without the plough; do not think to please God when sacrifice is made to him by killing’. The same idea is expressed in Hsv 119, possibly deriving from Pss 49 and 50.
