  1    I, pref|            And so greatly did the name and authority of the truth
  2    I, 1   |        under the auspices of your name, O mighty Emperor Constantine,
  3    I, 1   |         guardianship of the Roman name, as you yourself received
  4    I, 5   |     without any disguising of the name, admits that the universe
  5    I, 5   |           of one God; nor does he name Him Aether, or Reason, or
  6    I, 6   |           because he whom I shall name was taken from men and placed
  7    I, 6   |           September, received its name among them. He also built
  8    I, 6   |         arts acquired for him the name of Trismegistus. He wrote
  9    I, 6   |          no one might inquire His name, he said that He was without
 10    I, 6   |          said that He was without name, and that on account of
 11    I, 6   |      require the peculiarity of a name. These are his own words: "
 12    I, 6   |          one only does not need a name; for He who is self-existent
 13    I, 6   |        self-existent is without a name." God, therefore, has no
 14    I, 6   |            God, therefore, has no name, because He is alone; nor
 15    I, 6   |        there any need of a proper name, except in cases where a
 16    I, 6   |       always one, has no peculiar name. It remains for me to bring
 17    I, 6   |           they were called by one name Sibylline, because all prophetesses
 18    I, 6   |           Sibyls, either from the name of one, the Delphian priestess,
 19    I, 6   |         so the Sibyl received her name as though Siobule. But he
 20    I, 6   |          seventh was of Cumae, by name Amalthaea, who is termed
 21    I, 6   |        brought to Rome, under the name of whatever Sibyl they were.
 22    I, 6   |            the tenth of Tibur, by name Albunea, who is worshipped
 23    I, 6   |      these are inscribed with the name of the Sibyl they are believed
 24    I, 6   |        both inserted her own true name in her verse, and predicted
 25    I, 7   |     without a mother, unshaken,~A name not even to be comprised
 26    I, 7   |           had both a mother and a name? Why should I say that Mercury,
 27    I, 7   |       them know, however, by what name they ought to be called,
 28    I, 7   |     injury to the true God, whose name they set forth, while they
 29    I, 7   |         from the other gods their name, as he took away the dominion
 30    I, 10  |         is not the Best; to which name corrupters, adulterers,
 31    I, 11  |          THE ORIGIN, LIFE, REIGN, NAME AND DEATH OF JUPITER, AND
 32    I, 11  |         not indeed a god; for the name of divinity is derived from
 33    I, 11  |     because Olympus is the common name both of the mountain and
 34    I, 11  |           as they transferred the name of a man to God, who, as
 35    I, 11  |        one only, has no need of a name. But it is undeniable that
 36    I, 11  |        part of those who give the name of Jupiter to the Supreme
 37    I, 11  |         nor is it lawful for that name to be transferred thither,
 38    I, 11  |          peculiar meaning of this name does not express a divine,
 39    I, 11  |         were a helping father,--a name which is ill adapted to
 40    I, 11  |           supreme power under the name of Jupiter. Wherefore, if
 41    I, 11  |          son of earth, because we name those who are born from
 42    I, 11  |          also, Aventinus gave his name to the mountain on which
 43    I, 11  |     Tiberinus, or Tiber, gave his name to the river in which he
 44    I, 11  |        from that man who bore the name of Uranus. And Trismegistus
 45    I, 11  |         learning, he mentioned by name among these his relatives,
 46    I, 11  |     looked up to heaven, by which name we now call it, and that
 47    I, 11  |         he gave to the heaven its name from the name of his grandfather;
 48    I, 11  |          heaven its name from the name of his grandfather; and
 49    I, 11  |          in prayer first gave the name of heaven to that which
 50    I, 12  |         and that he has that very name in Greek? For he is called
 51    I, 15  |         WHO WERE MEN OBTAINED THE NAME OF GODS.~Now, since it is
 52    I, 15  |         of the celebrity of their name, were honoured in all provinces.
 53    I, 15  |      consecrate the image and the name of his daughter, those who
 54    I, 15  |        god, and was called by the name of Quirinus. By which deed
 55    I, 17  |           was born: and that this name was given to him from eridos
 56    I, 17  |        lone,~And lose in Virbius' name his own."~What is the meaning
 57    I, 17  |         next place, the change of name? Lastly, why such a determined
 58    I, 18  |          give to their crimes the name of virtue. I would rather
 59    I, 18  |   conferring of benefits gave the name of gods to Ceres and Liber.
 60    I, 19  |           in the deed, but in the name. For they feared evil, if,
 61    I, 20  |           the brothel derives its name. The Romans doubtless followed
 62    I, 20  |     figure. For when a harlot, by name Leaena, had put to death
 63    I, 20  |        effigy of the animal whose name she bore. Therefore, as
 64    I, 20  |       erected a monument from the name, so did the Romans from
 65    I, 20  |         was also dedicated to her name, and the Larentinalia were
 66    I, 20  |          should be taken from the name itself. They pretended that
 67    I, 20  |     likeness it was, he gave it a name from the place. Tullus Hostilius
 68    I, 20  |         of so greatly as that the name of gods had conic into such
 69    I, 20  |         shapeless stone under the name of Terminus? This is he
 70    I, 21  |        savage, that they gave the name of sacrifice to the slaughter
 71    I, 22  |      husband saw her or heard her name. On this account women sacrifice
 72    I, 22  |       dedicated to himself in the name of his host, as though the
 73    I, 22  |          himself, and a perpetual name for his entertainers in
 74    I, 22  |         of handing down their own name. AEneas did something like
 75    I, 22  |          Sicily, when he gave the name of his host Acestes to a
 76   II, 1   |           ignorance of the divine name. But since we often see
 77   II, 1   |        giving thanks, they do not name Jupiter, or a number of
 78   II, 1   |          His divine and matchless name alone he seeks to gain the
 79   II, 1   |        Greeks plainly derived the name anthrôpos, because he looks
 80   II, 1   |      themselves, and renounce the name of man, who do not look
 81   II, 1   |           forgetful both of their name and nature, cast down their
 82   II, 2   |           But if it received this name from resemblance, how can
 83   II, 6   |     cannot by themselves take the name of God. For no one can rightly
 84   II, 7   |           be false. But since the name of ancestors is so greatly
 85   II, 8   |    escapes their notice, that the name of ancestors being introduced,
 86   II, 9   |   acquired for himself a contrary name. From which it appears that
 87   II, 9   |           His excellence, and His name, and His nature must be
 88   II, 9   |     judged more powerful. By what name, therefore, shall he be
 89   II, 9   |         can be called by no other name, in which there is both
 90   II, 9   |         while simply changing the name, you clearly admit that
 91   II, 9   |       lose both the power and the name of God. But it may be said
 92   II, 9   |           found a sect in his own name. And because he could find
 93   II, 11  |         matter itself, but in the name of the artificer. For they
 94   II, 14  |       when one of his sons, whose name was Cham, had seen this,
 95   II, 15  |          assume to themselves the name of genii; for by this word
 96   II, 16  |          of God, adjured by whose name they depart from the bodies
 97   II, 17  |        beginning, does not need a name, since He is alone; nor
 98   II, 17  |          claim for themselves the name and worship of gods; not
 99   II, 17  |         on this account the Roman name was almost destroyed at
100   II, 18  |          adjuration of the divine name. But if it appears that
101   II, 19  |          a wise man from the very name. For whatever is an imitation,
102   II, 19  |          can anything receive the name of a true object which counterfeits
103  III, 1   |         induced by the honourable name of wisdom, or deceived by
104  III, 2   |        therefore, from the common name of philosophy, that when
105  III, 2   |       live. Philosophy is (as the name indicates, and they themselves
106  III, 2   |           from the meaning of the name itself? For he who devotes
107  III, 2   |           who first invented this name, since he had a little more
108  III, 2   |          therefore that a perfect name ought not to be applied
109  III, 3   |       heard nothing more than the name. If we should claim to ourselves
110  III, 3   |         in all respects except in name. It is probable that it
111  III, 5   |          he himself also lost the name of philosopher, because
112  III, 8   |   honourable, stopped at the very name of virtue, and said that
113  III, 11  |           or honour? or a lasting name? But all these things are
114  III, 14  |          may be excused under the name of fortune. You applied
115  III, 15  |           not refer to the common name of philosophy; for, since
116  III, 15  |      wonder if they derived their name and title from dogs, since
117  III, 17  |        but because the attractive name of pleasure invites many.
118  III, 18  |      followed, and might make his name distinguished by some great
119  III, 28  | overturning of religion gains the name of nature. For they, either
120  III, 28  |    perverseness is it, to use the name of nature rather than of
121  III, 28  |        friends, have censured the name of fortune with the most
122  III, 28  |        does the assumption of the name imply? What that contempt
123  III, 29  |           knowledge of the divine name, in which alone are contained
124  III, 29  |          and were ignorant of its name, they invented for themselves
125  III, 29  |          themselves the senseless name of fortune; and how far
126   IV, 1   |          claim for themselves the name of wise. For at the time
127   IV, 1   |         no one was called by that name. And would that this name,
128   IV, 1   |         name. And would that this name, once common to all the
129   IV, 1   |         the very arrogance of the name, that no one of those who
130   IV, 1   |      seven who were called by the name of men, for no one can justly
131   IV, 1   |        all, they thought the very name of wisdom arrogant, and
132   IV, 1   |       arrogated to themselves the name of wise men, of error and
133   IV, 3   |    Quirinus, are called after one name." But if nature does not
134   IV, 3   |          for it is plain that the name of father embraces also
135   IV, 3   |       household" follows; and the name of "household" comprises
136   IV, 3   |  comprises also sons, because the name of "father" precedes: from
137   IV, 3   |      liberated slave receives the name of his patron, as if he
138   IV, 4   |      deserters of His majesty and name. But that God is Father
139   IV, 6   |        being called by the divine name, as being pewerful in His
140   IV, 7   |                       VII. OF THE NAME OF SON, AND WHENCE HE IS
141   IV, 7   |          beloved by God, and what name He has, who was not only
142   IV, 7   |           we should know that His name is not known even to the
143   IV, 7   |         the Father; nor will that name be published, as the sacred
144   IV, 7   |            we must know that this name cannot be uttered by the
145   IV, 7   |         which produced God, whose name cannot be uttered by the
146   IV, 7   |         of man." But although His name, which the supreme Father
147   IV, 7   |           nevertheless He has one name among the angels, and another
148   IV, 7   |        for Christ is not a proper name, but a title of power and
149   IV, 7   |           But the meaning of this name must be set forth, on account
150   IV, 7   |           But, however, by either name a king is signified: not
151   IV, 10  |        Hebrews lost their ancient name; and since the leader of
152   IV, 10  |           jurisdiction. Then, the name of Judges being taken away,
153   IV, 11  |         even unto its setting, my name shall be great among the
154   IV, 12  |        son; and ye shall call His name Emmanuel." What can be more
155   IV, 12  |          all nations. But by this name the prophet declared that
156   IV, 12  |       upon His shoulders, and His name is called Messenger of great
157   IV, 12  |            which call Thee by Thy name, the God of Israel." Lastly,
158   IV, 12  |           all languages adore His name, confess His majesty, follow
159   IV, 13  |      which word he also shows His name, since (as I have shown
160   IV, 13  |           build me a house for my name, and I will set up His throne
161   IV, 13  |      which he called from his own name, Jerusalem. Therefore they
162   IV, 14  |      teaches, even mentioning His name: "And the Lord God showed
163   IV, 14  |    throughout the world, that His name had now also been taken
164   IV, 14  |       authority of Judge, and the name of God.~
165   IV, 16  |           the inheritors of their name and guilt have these accounts,
166   IV, 17  |         Prophet shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."
167   IV, 17  |    adversary by the emblem of the name, and lead the people into
168   IV, 18  |           from the earth, and his name shall no more be remembered."
169   IV, 18  |         have built for them in my name, I will cast it out from
170   IV, 21  |   preaching of the Gospel and His name, a cloud suddenly surrounded
171   IV, 21  |            themselves also in the name of their divine Master doing
172   IV, 21  |           Vespasian destroyed the name and nation of the Jews,
173   IV, 25  |        living law, to found a new name and temple, that by His
174   IV, 27  |         now His followers, in the name of their Master, and by
175   IV, 27  |          priest of either, in the name of his god, command the
176   IV, 27  |       demons, when adjured by the name of the true God, immediately
177   IV, 27  |         the same manner dread the name of God; and Apollo will
178   IV, 28  |      religion itself received its name, not, as Cicero explained
179   IV, 28  |           in fault, and receive a name which implies censure, who
180   IV, 28  |         rarely. Or why should the name of a fault be derived from
181   IV, 28  |           often in a day lose the name of religious men, when it
182   IV, 28  |      names. We have said that the name of religion is derived from
183   IV, 28  |   Lucretius better explained this name, who says that He loosens
184   IV, 29  |        from the Father, since the name of Father cannot be given
185   IV, 29  |    although he concede to him the name and power of a master, yet
186   IV, 29  |   receives the Son, and bears His name, he truly together with
187   IV, 30  |       their carelessness lost the name and worship of God. For
188   IV, 30  |           Arians, or by any other name they have ceased to be Christians,
189   IV, 30  |     Christians, who have lost the name of Christ, and assumed human
190    V, 2   |         authority of a fictitious name, not only that he might
191    V, 2   |        the Christian religion and name; professing, above all things,
192    V, 2   |      assent, and of the faith the name of which he had assumed,
193    V, 3   |           the remembrance of your name? It is foolish, therefore,
194    V, 3   |        image was set up under the name of Hercules, the averter
195    V, 3   |     divinity under the title of a name belonging to another, for
196    V, 3   |           another, for in his own name he was unable to attain
197    V, 3   |       same blindness, to give the name of falsehood to truth, and
198    V, 5   |          before the origin of the name of philosophy. These clearly
199    V, 6   |    avarice. They also, tinder the name of justice, passed most
200    V, 7   |  endurance retain its meaning and name if there were nothing which
201    V, 9   |     profaning the sacred and holy name of justice with that mouth
202    V, 10  |       wicked are they towards the name of the true divinity. And
203    V, 10  |    estranged from justice and the name of true piety. Nor is it
204    V, 12  |          do to those who give the name of justice to the tortures
205    V, 16  |        bestow upon each other the name of brethren, except that
206    V, 18  |            and who know it not in name, but in reality. For Plato
207    V, 18  |          this account receive the name of folly. For what ought
208    V, 19  |   disinherited, and of having his name removed for ever from his
209    V, 20  |           to give to the good the name of evil, to the wise the
210    V, 20  |          of evil, to the wise the name of foolish, to the just
211    V, 20  |          foolish, to the just the name of impious. Besides this,
212    V, 22  |       adjured by them, and at the name of the true God are put
213    V, 22  |           For when they hear this name they tremble, cry out, and
214    V, 22  |           the power of the divine name, they come out of the man.
215    V, 23  |       stirs up adversaries to His name, not to fight against God
216    V, 24  |          persecutors, to whom the name of God was a subject of
217    V, 24  |            and placed His eternal name beneath their feet, to be
218   VI, 4   |       upon the annals, and give a name to the years. The desire
219   VI, 5   |        For they only retained the name, but lost its power, and
220   VI, 6   |           the enemy of the divine name, of whom we have often spoken.
221   VI, 11  |          lasting memory for their name? Not even do they act rightly
222   VI, 15  |          method of exchanging the name. Therefore they have altogether
223   VI, 15  |      therefore, they gave another name to joy because they thought
224   VI, 15  |        was befitting that another name should be given to grief
225   VI, 17  |        virtue to be frugal; which name beguiles and deceives under
226   VI, 17  |         can call them by no other name than mad, who deprive man,
227   VI, 17  |           sociable animal, of his name; who, having uprooted the
228   VI, 18  |         must necessarily lose the name of a good man from this
229   VI, 18  |        orations, inscribed with a name derived from another source,
