|txtha=Λιβερτινου, ὁ, a Latin [[word]], libertinus, i. e. [[either]] [[one]] [[who]] has been liberated from [[slavery]], a [[freedman]], or the [[son]] of a [[freedman]] (as [[distinguished]] from ingenuus, i. e. the [[son]] of a [[free]] [[man]]): ἡ [[συναγωγή]] ἡ λεγομένη (or [[τῶν]] λεγομένων Tdf.) Λιβερτίνων, A. V. Libertines) to [[have]] been manumitted Roman slaves, [[who]] having embraced Judaism had [[their]] synagogue at [[Jerusalem]]; and [[they]] [[gather]] as [[much]] from Tacitus, Ann. 2,85, [[where]] it is [[related]] [[that]] [[four]] [[thousand]] libertini, infected [[with]] the Jewish [[superstition]], were sent [[into]] [[Sardinia]]. Others, owing to the names Κυρηναίων καί Ἀλλεξανδρεων [[that]] [[follow]], [[think]] [[that]] a geographical [[meaning]] is demanded for Λιβερτινοι, and [[suppose]] [[that]] Jews are [[spoken]] of, the dwellers in Libertum, a [[city]] or [[region]] of [[proconsular]] [[Africa]]. But the [[existence]] of a [[city]] or [[region]] called Libertum is a [[conjecture]] [[which]] has [[nothing]] to [[rest]] on [[but]] the [[mention]] of a bishop [[with]] the prefix libertinensis at the [[synod]] of [[Carthage]] 411> A.D. 411. Others [[with]] [[far]] greater [[probability]] [[appeal]] to [[Philo]], [[leg]]. ad Gaium § 23, and [[understand]] the [[word]] as denoting Jews [[who]] had been made captives by the Romans [[under]] [[Pompey]] [[but]] were afterward [[set]] [[free]]; and [[who]], [[although]] [[they]] had [[fixed]] [[their]] [[abode]] at [[Rome]], had built at [[their]] [[own]] [[expense]] a synagogue at [[Jerusalem]] [[which]] [[they]] frequented [[when]] in [[that]] [[city]]. The [[name]] Libertines adhered to [[them]] to [[distinguish]] [[them]] from the [[free-born]] Jews [[who]] had [[subsequently]] taken up [[their]] [[residence]] at [[Rome]]. Cf. Winer s RWB [[under]] the [[word]] Libertiner; Hausrath in Schenkel iv., 38f; (B. D. [[under]] the [[word]] Smith's Bible Dictionary, Libertines. Evidence seems to [[have]] been discovered of the [[existence]] of a synagogue of the libertines at [[Pompeii]]; cf. De Rossi, Bullet. di Arch. Christ. for 1864, pp. 70,92f.) | |||
