Epiphanius apparently counts the "first year" of Augustus, that is of Octavi[an]us, from the date of the murder of Julius Caesar, 44 B.C., and therefore makes the date of the birth of Jesus fall in B.C. 2, when Octavian was consul for the thirteenth time with Sil[v]anus.

All he knows is somewhere in Asia Minor, living among a very prominent group, the Montanists, are some people that when they pray they seem to touch the nose with their "licking finger," i.e., their forefinger.
No doubt if the group touched the nose when praying, it was a sign of reverence to God, perhaps some kind of sign of consecration of the entire self to God, perhaps trying to imitate an action of Christ when he was pensively deciding what to do on occasion.
But, being a heresiologist, who wanted to find opponents lurking everyplace, Epiphanius transferred the location of the finger on the nose from outside the nose in reverence to inside the nose as if they were picking their noses as they prayed.
