Abstract
This brief note explains the curious word “substomachans” in conf. 3.21 from the Manichaean background of both Monnica’s bishop and Augustine. Based on this explanation, the note proposes a new translation of the phrase in which “substomachans” occurs. The interpretation offered seems to be backed by Julian of Eclanum’s use of “substomachans”. In essence, “substomachari” refers to the “ructare” during the Manichaeans’ daily ritual meal: “to belch (out)”.
这个简短的注释解释了文件3.21中奇怪的单词“sub胃”，它来自莫妮卡的主教和奥古斯丁的摩尼教背景。基于这一解释，该注释提出了“sub胃”出现的短语的新翻译。这种解释似乎得到了埃克兰姆的朱利安(Julian of Eclanum)使用“sub胃”一词的支持。从本质上讲，“胃下痛”指的是摩尼教徒在日常仪式用餐时的“构造”:“打嗝”。
