 4  II,  67|          on them salt-cellars and images of the gods? When you marry,
 5  II,  76|          temples to them, fashion images of gold, sacrifice herds
 6 III,   3|          in your temples, and the images which you set up, for you
 7 III,   3|         we see them manifested in images, but in such a substance
 8 III,  15|           they worship these very images with much incense, and whatever
 9 III,  15|       rites: you yourselves adore images of men, as though they were

14  VI,   1|           of their temples, their images also, and sacrifices, and
15  VI,   1|         do not set up statues and images of any god, do not build
16  VI,   3|          and do not worship their images; we do not slay victims
17  VI,   8|       something about statues and images, which you form with much
18  VI,   8|       reason, is there that those images should be fashioned by you,
19  VI,   8|       pray, to fashion and set up images of doubtful beings, and
20  VI,   8|   perchance say, that under these images of deities there is displayed
21  VI,   9|        gods, you say, by means of images. What then? Without these,
22  VI,   9|            you first sacrifice to images, and transmit, as it were,
23  VI,  10|        you know whether all these images which you form and put in
24  VI,  10|      named Frugifer. If all these images are likenesses of the gods
25  VI,  11|       make supplication to little images of men and human forms-nay,
26  VI,  11|    suppose that these very little images are gods, and besides these
27  VI,  12|    wantonness in fashioning those images and consecrating names,
28  VI,  13|          when I know that certain images have the forms of certain

30  VI,  13|           in forming those little images, adoring them as gods, heaping
31  VI,  14|      prudence given to you. Those images which fill you with terror,
32  VI,  15|    materials of which statues and images of deities usually consist,-
33  VI,  15|           faces of battered gods, images melted down and broken,
34  VI,  16|       substance and origin of the images are, you, men, rational
35  VI,  16|         do you not see that these images, which seem to breathe,
36  VI,  16|        there is nothing divine in images, into which they do not
37  VI,  17|    dedication, they are joined to images Do your gods, then, dwell
38  VI,  17|   will-that is, do they enter the images as dwellings, dragged to
39  VI,  17|         other substances of which images are made?
40  VI,  18|         leave their own seats and images? If they are under the necessity
41  VI,  18|      allow that they prefer these images to heaven and the starry
42  VI,  18|      leave the statues empty, the images will then at some time cease
43  VI,  18|         see that by artists these images are at one time made small,
44  VI,  18|        and extend to immensity in images of vast bulk. So, then,
45  VI,  19|           time one god in several images, nor, again, divided into

47  VI,  19|          exists and is in all the images; or he will be in none,
48  VI,  20|         in the inner parts of the images, why do you guard, protect,
49  VI,  20|      place from their figures and images, leave to them the care
50  VI,  21|           and dwell. in their own images, with what business, with
51  VI,  21|        watch over his temples and images without ceasing?
52  VI,  22|           they wish to have these images. which they allow to be
53  VI,  22|         other substances of which images have been formed, where
54  VI,  24|        Here also the advocates of images are wont to say this also,
55  VI,  24|           ancients knew well that images have no divine nature, and
56  VI,  24|           were founded, and their images set up, there were no wicked
57  VI,  24|           is it right to say that images have been set up for the
58  VI,  25|      prejudice -is there in these images of which they speak, that
59  VI,  26|        insipid and so silly, that images were formed by the ancients
60  VI,  26|           your states filled with images of all the gods, the multitude
