 26    I, 13|          in Latin we call Ops, is said to have been warned by an

 62   II, 11|         when his son Deucalion is said by the same writers to have
 63   II, 11|          false. But because I had said that the poets are not accustomed

 80  III, 12|          virtue, as it is rightly said, makes a happy life. Virtue,

 84  III, 15|      Cicero is in error?), Seneca said: "Philosophy is nothing
 85  III, 15|           to possess a harlot? He said that there was some difference
 86  III, 16|    argument; inasmuch as, when he said that men ought not to philosophize,
 87  III, 17|           unnatural parents it is said that there is no bond of

 95  III, 18|      foolish old man, who falsely said that he had lived before,

100  III, 20|   undoubtedly meant that which he said, that we are not to devote
101  III, 22|          impossibility of what he said, from the fact that no nation
102  III, 23|           things. For what can be said respecting him who asserted
103  III, 23|         was white! This is he who said that he was born for this
104  III, 23|       believed mathematicians who said that the orb of the moon
105  III, 23|    consistent with this folly, he said that within the concave
106  III, 23|        great a calamity should be said to have happened by his
107  III, 24|      monstrous images, which they said were constellations. It

110  III, 25|        except Phaedo only, who is said, when living in oppressive
111  III, 25|    captive. A certain Aniceris is said to have ransomed Plato for
112  III, 27|        happy life. Nothing can be said with greater truth. But
113  III, 27|         decay. Therefore they who said these things saw a certain
114  III, 28|           by divine intelligence, said that nature was the mother
115  III, 28|          of Socrates, in which he said that he knew nothing but
116  III, 28|      completed? For that which he said, that they were most foolish
117  III, 29|        other gods? Why is she not said to reign by herself, if
118   IV, 1 |           it is termed, there are said to have been seven, who,
119   IV, 3 |       Since, therefore, as I have said, philosophy and the religious
120   IV, 4 |       those who are worshipped is said to have originally formed
121   IV, 6 |         of all things, as we have said in the second hook, before
122   IV, 10|       whom it might more truly be said (as the poet says), that "
123   IV, 12|        the Saviour is, as we have said before, Jesus. But in another
124   IV, 12|       similar things: "I saw," he said, "in a vision of the night,
125   IV, 12|          a cloud. For the prophet said in addition: And came even
126   IV, 12|        the cixth Psalm: "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at
127   IV, 13|        themselves? For in that he said that He wrought wonderful
128   IV, 14|          resist Him. And the Lord said unto the adversary, The
129   IV, 15|           had with them. But they said that they had five loaves
130   IV, 15|       could the things which they said have been in any way understood,
131   IV, 16|          it makes no sound; so he said that Christ would come to
132   IV, 17|         it written: "And the Lord said unto me, I will raise them
133   IV, 17|        son of Nun, his successor, said: "And the Lord said unto
134   IV, 17|    successor, said: "And the Lord said unto Jesus, Make thee knives
135   IV, 17|       Israel the second time." He said that this second circumcision
136   IV, 17|       does not say, "And the Lord said unto me," but "unto Jesus,"
137   IV, 18|           to pass, and repeatedly said that He must suffer and
138   IV, 18|         His charge except that He said that He was the Son of God,
139   IV, 18|        heard these things, and He said nothing in His own defence,
140   IV, 18|         the above-mentioned Sibyl said:--~"And being beaten, He
141   IV, 18|           thus written: "And Ezra said to the people, This passover
142   IV, 19|      EVENTS.~What more can now be said respecting the crime of
143   IV, 19|           And therefore the Sibyl said, that after three days'
144   IV, 20|          cross. For that which He said above, that He would make
145   IV, 21|        wonderful things, and also said that it was about to come
146   IV, 24|       death; all which, as I have said, a perfect teacher ought
147   IV, 25|           only (as we have before said), He would not have been
148   IV, 28|     meaning of the names. We have said that the name of religion
149   IV, 29|           forward before, when he said: "They shall fall down unto
150   IV, 29|         from the dead, as we have said that the prophet Hosea showed,
151   IV, 29|         prophet Hosea showed, who said, "I will redeem Him from
152   IV, 29|          God," when he might have said "beside us;" but it was
153    V, 1 |           than unheard. But, as I said, they are afraid lest, if
154    V, 2 |          power and majesty, as he said, the world is governed;
155    V, 2 |          crafty men. Therefore he said that he had undertaken this
156    V, 2 |   foresight, as he himself indeed said, had been distinguished
157    V, 6 |           nothing else, as I have said, than the laying aside of
158    V, 7 |          to men, yet it cannot be said that a golden age exists;
159    V, 8 |         not, therefore, as I have said, be these evils on the earth,
160    V, 9 |        those things which we have said, but that ours practise
161    V, 10|       cattle? But this, as I have said, was not his fault—for he
162    V, 11|       Therefore it is excellently said by Marcus Tullius: "For
163    V, 15|          virtues which (as I have said) may proceed from justice,
164    V, 15|      truly defined it, as we have said in another place. If, therefore,
165    V, 15|           the one God, by whom he said that the world was framed;
166    V, 17|        danger of his life. For he said: "Certainly it is justice
167    V, 18|         Flaccus therefore rightly said, that the power of innocence
168    V, 18|     changed. Moreover, it is even said that he entreated them to
169    V, 19|           you yourself most truly said in another place: "What
170    V, 19|        goods to be divine, as you said, how can there be any so
171    V, 19|            For what if, as Furius said, a man should be dragged
172    V, 22|       side, which (as it has been said most truly) produces hatred.
173    V, 23|          as human, as it has been said by Laelius, and his own
174    V, 23| providence;" in which book he has said many things, not assuredly
175   VI, 6 |         AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.~I have said that which was the first
176   VI, 6 |           heaven: in him there is said to be the greatest and perfect
177   VI, 9 |      taken up, as is most rightly said by these, because it is
178   VI, 10|    BEGINNING OF THE WORLD.~I have said what is due to God, I will
179   VI, 10|        they really were; and they said that the cause of their
180   VI, 11|      great loss. For what must be said of those who, induced by
181   VI, 12|        which he then did, when he said that we must bestow our
182   VI, 12|        burial as superfluous, and said that it was no evil to lie
183   VI, 14|        they call these four (as I said) diseases, not so much inserted
184   VI, 15|      unwise disputation, if, as I said, all things were not referred
185   VI, 16|        affections. But, as I have said, the object of wisdom does
186   VI, 17|           of God. Therefore (as I said) fear is not to be uprooted,
187   VI, 18|   greatest of all the virtues. He said that a good man would inflict
188   VI, 18|         as Sallustius relates was said by Appius, because he himself
189   VI, 18|        willed, as has been before said, that he should be despised
190   VI, 19|      which account the poets have said that there are three furies
191   VI, 20|       subdued by virtue, or, as I said a little before respecting
192   VI, 22|        However, it has often been said that there would have been
193   VI, 24|           knew God, than has been said by a man who is ignorant
194   VI, 24|          every moment, not, as he said, in some theatre of the
195  VII, 1 |         and God; and therefore he said that it was created for
196  VII, 1 |         to escape this objection, said that the world always had
197  VII, 1 |         truly in this matter, who said that it had a beginning
198  VII, 2 |        knowledge, as I have often said already, cannot exist in
199  VII, 2 |        sentiment of Socrates, who said that the time had come for
200  VII, 3 |            For Lucretius, when he said that the world was not made
201  VII, 3 |         of truth. Therefore, as I said a little before, when they
202  VII, 3 |         weak and subject to ruin, said that it would remain for
203  VII, 3 |          unable to teach this, he said that it was produced of
204  VII, 3 |         are dull and mad who have said that there is no providence.
205  VII, 4 |     fruits. But it cannot even be said that God made the world
206  VII, 5 |           up the subject. We have said above that the nature of
207  VII, 5 |          either wisdom, as I have said, or the body, will be taken
208  VII, 7 |          separate portions. Plato said that the world was made
209  VII, 7 |  therefore are in error, who have said either that all things were
210  VII, 8 |       these opinions is true," he said, "some God may see." And
211  VII, 9 |       come into sight. But, it is said, it is difficult to comprehend
212  VII, 12|        and therefore they are not said to be without a soul, but
213  VII, 12|           of the body. But, it is said, the memory fails. What
214  VII, 12|      which are in a house are not said to be a part of the house;
215  VII, 12|           longer able. But, it is said, he understands before he
216  VII, 13|           of the human mind, they said that it perishes. What of
217  VII, 13|         than which nothing can be said more senseless. Truly he
218  VII, 14|    eternal life. For they who are said to have been immortalized
219  VII, 14|         which the world was made, said that many thousands of ages

221  VII, 14|          But the things which are said by prophets and seers to
222  VII, 15|        Roman city by ages. For he said that at first was its infancy
223  VII, 22|         restored to life, as Maro said:_~"All these, when centuries
224  VII, 25|         those very things which I said, not by my own writings,
