Irradians sata læta
Here are the first three lines of the 2nd of the Prophetiæ Sybillarum, that of the Sybilla Lybica, set to music by Orlandus Lassus, with an English translation from Wikipedia. I haven't sorted out whether Lassus composed the hexameters from legends in circulation or if the Latin text itself comes from the early Christian period.
Ecce dies venient, quo æternus tempore princeps,
Irradians sata læta, viris sua crimina tollet,
Lumine clarescet cuius synagoga recenti:
Behold the days will come, at which time the immortal prince,
sowing abundant crops, shall take away their crimes from men,
whose synagogue will shine with new light;
Is that translation of irradians sata læta right? It seems incongruous, both with the rest of the passage and even itself. Are crops literally læta? Or is there some kind of poetic allusion or license that might explain this? Does sata have a sense other than crops? Or is this a part of the Christian myth that I never heard of before?

The festivals which typify synagoga are a) harvests and b) ethical.
a) The princeps irradiates, beams down on, the 'joyful standing corn,' --"Ripens the joyful crops " would fit the word count.
Sata conveniently does not differentiate between wheat and barley harvests.
b) Tollet Crimina includes New Year.
[The two poems in which Boethius links the Godhead to gubernator, to creator, and to Sun are generally thought to be Neoplatonist (esp Consolation III metric9), and Consolation V metric2 quotes Iliad iii 277]
