4; Zech. iii. 10, etc. The form of the phrase (viro rrpt avKrjVf contrasted with virofcaTQ) tQs (tvic^s, v, 50, under- neath) implies that Nathanael had unthdrawn under the fig tree, for thought or prayer. This meditation turned (as we must suppose) upon the ideas recog- nised in the Lord's words — ^the hope of the people, shown in light and darkness by the effects of the preaching of the Baptist. Augustine's narrative of the crisis of his own conversion is a singular commentary on the scene. H...e, too, had retired (Sept. A.D. 386) beneath a ^g tree for solitary thought when the voice '* Telle, lege" decided his choice. "Ego sub quadam fici arbore stravi me nescio quomodo . . . et flebam amaris- sima contritione cordis mei. Et ecce audio vocem de vicina domo cum cantu dicentis et crebro repetentis, quasi pueri an puellffi nescio : Telle, lege : tolle, lege . . . Repressoque impetu la- crimarum surrexi, nihil aliud interpretens nisi divinitus mihi juberi ut aperirem codicem et legerem quod primum caput in- venissem" (Confessiones, viiL 12).
