phrase

[COPLAND 3]

I am having trouble with this phrase, can anyone clarify it for me by translating it. It is a comment from Nicholas of Lyra concerning 1 Thessalonians 2:2, specifically about "sicut scitis/as you know".


sicut scitis: quia hoc no suit longe a ciuitate vestra, ideo sub.

The whole verse of 2:2 is "Instead, having previously suffered and been treated shamefully, as you know, at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, so as to speak the Gospel of God to you with much solicitude."

Thank you!!

Two queries... 'no' and 'suit'
I am guessing this is supposed to read 'non' and 'sit'?

I think the passage might be translated thusly: Since this is not far from your city...
It seems to be explaining the 'as you know' - they know because it happened nearby to them... does that make sense?
I think the 'ideo sub' is simply short hand for 'It was done for this reason' - basically your commentator saying why 'sicut scitis' is in the passage, just like in the other post you made. It is short for 'ideo subditur'
