Inexhaustible Riches

Augustine, Letters 137.1.3 (Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, vol. 44, pp. 99-100; to Volusianus; tr. Peter Brown): For such is the depth of the Christian Scriptures that, even if I were attempting to study them and nothing else, from boyhood to decrepit old age, with the utmost leisure, the most unwearied zeal, and with talents greater than I possess, I would still be making progress in discovering their treasures. tanta est enim christianarum profunditas litterarum, ut in eis quotidie proficerem, si eas solas ab ineunte pueritia usque ad decrepitam senectutem maximo otio, summo studio, meliore ingenio conarer addiscere. I don't see "in discovering their treasures" in the Latin. Brown's translation appears in his Augustine of Hippo: A Biography (1967; rpt. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1975), p. 263.
