Nodutis is spoken of as a god, because 2465 VII, 33| with wind, and shouting out noisily empty vows, do they lift 2466 V, 13| wonderful enough that the noisome stench of goats did not 2467 V, 40| lose that flow of words and noisy and unseemly loquacity, 2468 I, 16| to the Moors and to the Nomads, when a similar religion 2469 VII, 22| to speak with moderation, nonsense, that shows much greater 2470 V, 11| so that the hold of the nooses placed round them might 2471 I, 51| to the blind, restore the normal condition of their members 2472 III, 32| out and annihilated the noted Cyllenian bearer of the 2473 III, 38| themselves?

For who is so obtuse as either to slay victims 2509 VI, 11| ears, then, and temples, an occiput, spine, loins, sides, hams, 2510 I, 20| noxious winds, by the most occult diseases, they can slay 2511 V, 41| the other, the baseness occupies the mind before any regard 2512 I, 25| of all things that be, as occupying the highest place among 2513 I, 22| testify that this result never occurs, and since it is plain that 2514 I, 5| that mad-cap Xerxes let the ocean in upon the land, and that 2515 V, 18| was the meaning of this: Ocrisia, a woman of the greatest 2516 I, 29| would more properly bear the odium of these names than he who 2517 VII, 12| and a small piece of some odorous substance,-will it not follow 2518 VII, 24| nor, in the same way, the oerumnaoe, which are the first part 2519 VII, 24| nourishing juices; while the offa penita is a beast's tail 2520 IV, 19| you should in something offend the gods themselves, whoever 2521 VI, 22| inflict punishment upon the offenders for their impious sacrilege. 2522 III, 11| you dare to charge us with offending the gods, although, on examination, 2523 IV, 19| you, but that that which offends your feelings manifests 2524 VII, 28| set aside because of their offensiveness? Do the gods, then, have 2525 III, 39| comprehended under them, but of officers, ranks, and duties, so, 2526 V, 43| interpretations; and, as oft times happens to the sick, 2527 VI, 18| fitting to withhold them. Oftentimes we see that by artists these 2528 II, 23| winnowing-fan, jar, tub, an oil-mill, ploughshare, or sieve, 2529 III, 25| door-posts with greasy ointment; were it not that husbands, 2530 V, 14| not the addition of those ointments modified the putrefying 2531 II, 72| religion? Is there anything older than Him? or can anything 2532 I, 21| luckless barrenness. From your olive-trees and vineyards let them bring 2533 VI, 7| name it from the head of Olus Capitolium rather than from 2534 VII, 24| the meaning of polimina, omenta, palasea, or, as some call 2535 VII, 24| plasea?-of which that named omentum is a certain part enclosed 2536 I, 36| from limb? Passing on, we omit the royal offspring of Ops, 2537 V, 19| which are named in Greek Omophagia, in which with seeming frenzy 2538 VI, 17| despicable by which any one-the dull, and also the most 2539 IV, 36| plays. And that the idle onlookers may be excited to laughter 2540 VI, 3| of being exposed to the onset of enemies, or the furious 2541 I, 2| slowly, or to be hurried onward in headlong rotation? Have 2542 V, 32| and under a commonplace openness of expression there lurks 2543 VII, 1| own, but with your Varro's opinion-none. Why so? Because, he says, 2544 I, 1| language will allow, to oppose public prejudice, and to 2545 IV, 4| say, if it is convenient? Opposing armies meet, and fighting 2546 II, 45| conflagrations; that poverty might oppress some, beggary, others; that 2547 I, 7| wretched mortals are now oppressed and overwhelmed? You ask 2548 I, 62| forth her prophecies and oracular responses, was filled, as 2549 II, 19| arts of grammar, music, oratory, and geometry. For we do 2550 IV, 7| children are under the care of Orbona,-those very near to death, 2551 V, 26| the goddess, fixing her orbs of august light, Being softened, 2552 V, 32| the earth, and unites with Orcus to bring forth fruit. In 2553 VII, 7| however, Did they ever ordain any laws for mortals? and 2554 V, 3| to know whether Diespiter ordains that this expiation be effected 2555 II, 6| yourselves in harmonious, and orderly, and fitly-disposed language, 2556 III, 9| therefore they have received organs of generation, that they 2557 V, 8| certain that men are sprung originally from the casting of stones, 2558 IV, 25| own blood, overwhelmed by Ornytus? Does not Sosibius declare 2559 III, 13| of vertebrae, and by an osseous foundation? But if we believe 2560 III, 30| no Fluonia, no Pomona, no Ossipagina, no Februtis, Populonia, 2561 II, 19| have made under-shirts, outer-shirts, cloaks, plaids, robes of 2562 I, 10| burning drought, or by the outpouring of rain moderates the dryness 2563 VII, 17| honour, or rather a most outrageous affront, when the swallows 2564 VII, 15| look for anything which is outside of them and comes from without; 2565 III, 31| of this name is meant the outspread water, there is no god Neptune 2566 V, 1| however, your craft has outwitted me, have the mode which 2567 II, 48| dissemblers, liars, proud, overbearing, covetous, greedy, lustful, 2568 III, 7| the weight of antiquity overborne? But, indeed, if you are 2569 V, 11| times-father Liber, who overcame the fierceness of Acdestis, 2570 II, 30| overwhelmed by the fall of overhanging rocks and by the overthrow 2571 II, 37| clouds gathered and hanging overhead would not the showers come 2572 I, 49| miseries of the wicked are overlooked.
