But if it is true 151 I, 2| ceased to shape herself anew, and to change into former 152 VII, 8| they are really moved by anger-lay aside their anger and resentment, 153 III, 7| I hear others muttering angrily, and saying that the senate 154 II, 12| to Brunda, worn out with anguish and shame, again cast himself 155 II, 67| business because evil omens are announced? When you are preparing 156 VII, 38| the gods, moved by some annoyances, occasioned pestilences, 157 III, 43| these evils, by which I am annoyed, troubled, and tormented: 158 VII, 9| against themselves to be annulled by the blood of an innocent 159 V, 14| did she indeed wash and anoint them with fragrant gums 160 III, 25| says, presides over the anointing of door-posts; Cinxia over 161 V, 1| words.

But for a mortal's anticipating what Jupiter-whom he overreached-was 163 I, 2| deities, and devotees of an antiquated superstition.

Acdestis appealed to Jupiter to restore life 176 II, 17| see that there are many appearances of reason and wisdom which 177 I, 65| safety. Christ shone out and appeared to tell us news of the utmost 178 I, 3| sect won the honour of this appellation. For if we are to blame, 179 App | Appendix --- -- We do not deny that 180 VII, 25| themselves a perfectly voracious appetite? O wonderful greatness of 181 I, 27| yield to various lusts and appetites through the fault of our 182 I, 49| wasting diseases, whom no appliances whatever restored, although 183 I, 27| common reason, in terms applicable to all of us alike,-We Christians 184 I, 48| substance-that is, of any medical application-he ordered diseases to fly 185 I, 48| known that Christ, either by applying His hand to the parts affected, 186 IV, 6| fitting honours, but to appoint them over base things, and 187 V, 2| suppose that he himself appoints the means by which may be 188 I, 41| not, with the unanimous approbation of the Gauls, invoke as 189 II, 57| discovered, was attested by the approval of all the others. It is 190 V, 24| importance is it whether you approve of them or not, since what 191 II, 78| without reason, as Arrhianus approves of Epictetus having said. 192 II, 59| although by nature it is apt to glide away, and so ready 193 I, 40| cruel forums of death, as Aquilius, Trebonius, and Regulus: 194 II, 12| Persians, and Medes; in Arabia, Egypt, in Asia, Syria; 195 VI, 11| these things to memory; the Arabians an unshapen stone; the Scythian 196 IV, 16| from golden cups; by what arbiter, by what judge, shall we 197 V, 28| funeral, and -"ficorum ex arbore ramum validissimum praesecans 198 V, 39| that these have no origin, arc practised without reason 199 IV, 25| Who that he was born in Arcadia? was it not you? Who that 200 IV, 22| and the same, the Delian archer, and Diana, who rouses the 201 II, 9| wrapt in dark obscurity, to Archesilas, to Carneades?-to some teacher, 202 II, 9| Pythagoras of Samos, and to Archytas? he who divides the soul, 203 III, 6| fully treated of by men of ardent genius, both in Latin and 204 IV, 26| Pelops; this one sighs more ardently for Chrysippus; Catamitus 205 VII, 41| creator of all things which are-who set out from heaven to behold 206 VII, 39| across the middle of the arena, and afterwards, according 207 V, 23| inspicientem testiculos aretinos, snatching these away with 208 VI, 23| her priestess Chrysis in Argos? Where the Egyptian Serapis, 209 I, 59| solecisms in those most perfect arid wonderful books of yours? 210 I, 16| Tinguitani they sent dryness and aridity on the crops on account 211 V, 21| satisfaction, devises this means: Arietem nobilem bene grandibus cum 212 II, 7| in the things tasted, or arises from their touching the 213 III, 31| brother of Pluto and Jupiter, armed with the iron trident, lord 214 I, 52| book of his History; the Armenian, grandson of Hosthanes; 215 IV, 13| Persians, Indians, Chaldeans, Armenians, and all the others who 216 VI, 26| check wrongdoing, and to arouse the fears of the wicked 217 IV, 29| what hope, what joy was aroused in her by the comely Attis; 218 I, 9| consistent with the plans and arrangements of Nature herself. 219 II, 44| become base-and, as the arranger of all things, He must have 220 I, 2| assuredly be proved by an array of convincing arguments, 221 VII, 12| nations, on the other hand, arrayed against each other in war, 222 II, 78| even without reason, as Arrhianus approves of Epictetus having 223 I, 52| let some Magian Zoroaster arrive from a remote part of the 224 II, 73| just now; for now He has arrived who was sent to declare 225 IV, 26| governed by reason, desired Arsinoe, Aethusa, Hypsipyle, Marpessa, 226 I, 59| he who applies masculine articles to feminine genders. And 227 VII, 22| physicians; and because he is an artificer, Vulcan by the sacrifice 228 VI, 18| of the body formed by the artist. 229 VII, 16| life. What is there more artistic in the former kind of sacrifices, 230 VII, 14| But all this conceding and ascribing of honour about which we 231 II, 24| are saying anything, or asking anything, or requiring some 232 V, 22| declared to have been the assailant of her chastity. Alcmena, 233 V, 31| any one of them, without assailing him with your abuse? or 234 III, 33| Venus, named because lust assails all, and Proserpina, named 235 I, 56| authority and power. Such an assemblage of miracles, however, would 236 III, 29| withhold our minds from assenting. For when you strive individually 237 VII, 10| straightway swoop upon us, who, asserting and proving that whatever 238 I, 54| or alleged with childish asseveration things which never took 239 VII, 41| believe-to repeat this word assiduously-that he was divine who, being 240 VI, 9| as it were, then, and by assignments to a third party, as they 241 I, 49| overlooked. And yet Christ assisted the good and the bad alike; 242 II, 56| have been connected and associated with that which we desire 243 IV, 19| the human race, and the associations of mortality itself, when 244 II, 51| deserving of ridicule who assumes to himself no knowledge 245 V, 28| Lascivia deinde surientis assumptâ, huc atque illuc clunes 246 IV, 16| not argue and resist the assumption of the first two with such 247 II, 11| and other such things, assure us that these men know what 248 II, 33| that we hold Him fast who assures us that He will be our deliverer 249 I, 5| against us, that between the Assyrians and Bactrians, under the 250 VI, 13| system of worship was led astray by the making of statues. 251 VII, 33| pleasure from comedies, Atellane farces, and pantomimes, 252 IV, 25| was it not Sophocles the Athenian, with the assent of all 253 I, 5| island which is called the Atlantis of Neptune, as Plato tells 254 VII, 9| the crime of another is atoned for with my blood, and that 255 V, 28| surientis assumptâ, huc atque illuc clunes torquet et 256 VII, 17| contumely, and account it an atrocious wrong that you were greeted 257 I, 1| fully deserve the hatred attaching to public enemies, if it 258 V, 10| sky and the light of day, attacking all things which lay in 259 VI, 3| enemies, or the furious attacks of wild beasts, so that 260 V, 6| speaking call their goats attagi, it happened in consequence 261 II, 38| without men, and would not attain its completeness without 262 VII, 49| from Phrygia, sent by King Attalus, than a stone, not large, 263 V, 33| with that which they vainly attempted to conceal by words which 264 I, 24| there is now a very thin attendance. Former ceremonies are exposed 265 III, 40| received, but some male attendant and steward of Jupiter. 266 VII, 38| circumstances had not been attended to, and yet, on their being 267 I, 48| is evident, if you will attentively examine it-a similar mode 268 V, 21| even, named Sebadia, might attest the truth; for in them a 269 IV, 16| Neith, as Plato's Timaeus attests." What, then, do we suppose 270 V, 35| world with these; what the Attic country, the canton of Eleusin, 271 III, 6| perhaps, have been able to attract us to the worship of these 272 II, 30| pleasures, and becomes less attractive-and in letting loose their boundless 273 I, 1| should appear that to us are attributable causes by reason of which 274 I, 28| because they see the sacred attributes of vile animals put in rivalry 275 III, 19| that we are so far from attributing bodily shape to the Deity, 276 I, 41| Great Mother, that Phrygian Atys who was mangled and deprived 277 II, 58| If you chose to lay aside audacious conjectures, can you unfold 278 I, 45| raised in the utterance of audible and intelligible words, 279 VI, 14| and hewn with saws, with augers, with axes, dug and hollowed 280 III, 9| always being increased, is augmented by means of their offspring; 281 VII, 14| if honour increases and augments the grandeur of him to whom 282 VII, 24| again; nor the magmenta, augmina, and thousand other kinds 283 I, 16| slain, am I not an evil augury; and why am I not set forth 284 VI, 7| declare to you whose son Aulus was, of what race and nation, 285 IV, 27| that Tithonus was loved by Aurora; that Luna lusted after 286 V, 25| maintains an invincible austerity. But when this was done 287 I, 54| and the most trustworthy authorities-both believed them themselves, 288 I, 29| which you live? or who hath authorized you to retain its produce 289 VI, 25| full of apples, figs, or autumnal fruits; Diana, with half-covered 290 VII, 42| believe that he was a god who avenged and punished neglect of 291 V, 1| the sacred ceremony on the Aventine, drew down Jupiter to the 292 VII, 44| the giver of health, the averter, preventer, destroyer of 293 VII, 45| which he may be borne; he avoids the waves of the sea; and 294 V, 30| of doing this openly with avowed abuse. He who doubts the 295 VII, 32| in good health? Are they awakened from sleep; and that they 296 VI, 14| saws, with augers, with axes, dug and hollowed out by 297 II, 58| whether it is supported by an axis resting on sockets at its 298 II, 1| distinction of persons? (B) And He was not worthy that 299 IV, 35| mimicry as raving like a Bacchanal, with all the passions of 300 I, 62| have been slain in her? If Bacis, if Helenus, Marcius, and 301 I, 52| these join him too-that Bactrian, whose deeds Ctesias sets 302 I, 5| between the Assyrians and Bactrians, under the leadership of 303 VII, 23| the good gods cannot act badly, even if they have been 304 I, 52| Dardanus; Velus, Julianus, and Baebulus; and if there be any other 305 II, 23| goblet, a broom, a cup, a bag; a lyre, pipe, silver, brass, 306 II, 37| phlegm and blood, among these bags of filth and most disgusting 307 VI, 2| should weigh all in a just balance, and show kindness impartially 308 II, 49| which is just and evenly balanced. One, two, three, four, 309 I, 2| let us test, by fairly balancing the considerations on both 310 III, 14| hair, others shaven, with bald and smooth heads. Now your 311 VII, 33| part of Adonis also in a ballet? Does the anger of Aleides 312 II, 38| writers, logicians, musicians, ballet-dancers, mimics, actors, singers, 313 V, 19| tops, hoops, and smooth balls, and golden apples taken 314 I, 49| appear to have been unable to banish infirmity, not because of 315 II, 77| you too, by the flames, banishments, tortures, and monsters 316 VII, 15| it to invite a god to a banquet of blood, which you see 317 VII, 32| must be satiated with great banquets, and long filled with eager 318 II, 66| the ways against you and bar your passage when returning 319 I, 59| opponent says, are overrun with barbarisms and solecisms, and disfigured 320 I, 65| this cruelty, what such barbarity, nay rather, to speak more 321 III, 15| some gods are fullers, some barbers; the former to cleanse the 322 I, 13| you are accusing us with bare-faced effrontery, with palpable 323 V, 1| those things which you have bargained for." 324 V, 25| she uncovers herself, and baring her groins, displays all 325 II, 59| say what wheat is,-spelt, barley, millet, the chick-pea, 326 VI, 23| opening them up, though barred by unknown means; which, 327 II, 65| secured by an impenetrable barrier. 328 VI, 20| immense size, under iron bars, bolts, and other such things, 329 II, 44| place they would become base-and, as the arranger of all 330 V, 41| shame, is now meanly and basely spoken of, the mode of speech 331 VII, 16| radishes, gourds, rue, mint, basil, flea-bane, and chives, 332 II, 19| for themselves gridirons, basins, and bowls, because they 333 I, 9| What if one, accustomed to bask himself in the sun, and 334 VII, 34| the cleanness produced by bathing is pleasing to the gods 335 VII, 34| refreshing themselves with warm baths, they think that the cleanness 336 VI, 15| before you the faces of battered gods, images melted down 337 II, 17| things which they make with beaks and claws, we see that there 338 VI, 24| mind itself at the majestic beaming lustre.

But he who gives any instruction 615 II, 1| savage fury? Did He ever, in claiming for Himself power as king, 616 III, 26| time of peace? For if he claims the madness of war, why 617 VI, 16| destruction, by dove-tails and clamps and brace-irons; and that 618 IV, 36| whole pit resounds with the clapping of hands and applause. And 619 I, 26| whether called Delian or Clarian Didymean, Philesian, or 620 III, 41| have once concealed, by the clashing of cymbals, the infantile 621 II, 36| even which has been duly clasped and bound together by the 622 VII, 32| pipes? What effect has the clattering of castanets, that when 623 II, 17| they make with beaks and claws, we see that there are many 624 VI, 14| lamps, or from other less cleanly vessels, and having been 625 VII, 34| baths, they think that the cleanness produced by bathing is pleasing 626 III, 15| some barbers; the former to cleanse the sacred garments, the 627 I, 39| superior, I assign with clearly-defined gradations, and on distinct 628 VII, 17| things may be seen more clearly-if dogs, I say, and asses, 629 VI, 14| down with ordinary, files, cleft and hewn with saws, with 630 III, 43| Neptune, and in your divine clemency turn away all these evils, 631 VI, 6| Didymae, Leandrius says that Cleochus had the last honours of 632 V, 20| shameless longing, hits upon a clever trick by which to rob of 633 III, 36| deities with a pretence of cleverness and wisdom, you do not hesitate 634 IV, 26| he might, forsooth, make Clitor's daughter the mother of 635 II, 23| cushion, handkerchief, cloak, veil, napkin, furs, shoe, 636 VI, 25| distinguished; Jupiter, cloaked and bearded, and holding 637 II, 19| under-shirts, outer-shirts, cloaks, plaids, robes of state, 638 V, 18| called Bona Dea, whom Sextus Clodius, in his sixth book in Greek 639 III, 18| pupils of the eyes, that He closes them, winks, sees by rays 640 VII, 31| which has been laid up in closets and storerooms, from which 641 V, 41| perfectly decent ideas, and clothe with the respectability 642 I, 31| track Thee through the shady cloud, no word must be uttered. 643 VII, 28| and the whole sky were clouded with the darkness of the 644 IV, 22| Theban Hercules, whom his club and hide defended; of him 645 II, 42| to abandon themselves to clumsy motions, to dance and sing, 646 V, 28| assumptâ, huc atque illuc clunes torquet et meditatur ab 647 II, 25| ignorance which till now clung to him.

Let the rites of the Corybantes also be consigned to oblivion, 807 II, 41| foreheads with fillets, seek for cosmetics to deck their bodies, darken 808 V, 33| writers summon you to take counsel with them? or did you lie 809 III, 40| they are considered the counsellors and princes of Jove supreme. 810 VII, 16| lions?

Now the weakness 828 I, 11| a reproach, forsooth, to creation, because it has added to 829 III, 31| of memory. But if this is credited, it follows that there is 830 VI, 16| own accord, by vainly and credulously deceiving yourselves. Oh, 831 V, 9| majesty and dignity, he crept forward to steal those vile 832 III, 30| have been concealed in the Cretan territory, that he might 833 V, 25| caduceatores, hierophants, and criers. So, then, that Baubo who, 834 V, 22| might be a field fertile in crimes, an occasion of evil-speaking, 835 VI, 26| the gods, the multitude of criminals cannot be resisted even 836 App | yoked, are dragged along crippled, and limp with broken legs; 837 III, 14| lean, sleek, fat; some with crisped and curled hair, others 838 II, 41| to curl their hair with crisping-pins, to make the skin of the 839 V, 32| mistaken, and show, even in criticising these things, that you are 840 I, 59| filus and filum, crocus and crocum, fretus and fretum? Also 841 I, 59| coelum, filus and filum, crocus and crocum, fretus and fretum? 842 II, 67| it is done, not what is crone, and not set before you 843 II, 11| less? You believe Plato, Cronius, Numenius, or any one you 844 V, 11| venerable meetings of the gods, cropping the tails of horses, plaiting 845 I, 52| remote part of the globe, crossing over the fiery zone, if 846 II, 25| articulate words; and a crow to utter names. 847 VII, 39| people were perishing in crowds, in a dream Jupiter said 848 IV, 36| flames? our meetings to be cruelly broken up, in which prayer 849 III, 23| raging sea cast up so many cruelly-shattered wrecks? Consus suggests 850 VII, 41| fooleries mixed with trifles and cruelties, which any man, even thought 851 VII, 50| strong enemy? Why did she not crush and repel assaults so terrible 852 VII, 28| kept up, its life must be crushed out, and its vital principle 853 IV, 21| be persuaded to cease his crying most foolishly protracted, 854 I, 52| too-that Bactrian, whose deeds Ctesias sets forth in the first 855 II, 24| about squares, not what a cube is, or a second power, the 856 VI, 21| Jupiter made of gold ten cubits high, and set up in its 857 VII, 24| gratilla, catumeum, cumspolium, cubula?-of which the first two 858 II, 23| an onion, a thistle, a cucumber, a fig, will he know that 859 II, 19| robes of state, knives, cuirasses and swords, mattocks, hatchets, 860 I, 32| admit it; since equally culpable are both the assertion of 861 VII, 32| celebrated.
