The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire
Chapter X Footnotes:
[1] Gibbon, _Decline and Fall_, c. 15 (vol. ii, p. 177, Milman-Smith); Tertullian, _de Spectaculis_, 30.
[2] Both of these in _de Pallio_, 1. It may be noted that in allusions to Dido's story he prefers the non-Virgilian version, more honourable to the Queen; _Apol._ 50; _ad martyras_, 4.
[3] _adv. Valentin._ 12.
[4] References to his Greek treatises (all lost) may be found in _de cor. mil._ 6; _de bapt._ 15; _de virg. vel._ 1.
[5] _De viris illustribus, sub nomine_.
[6] _de anima_ 39.
[7] _Ibid._ 41.
[8] _Ibid._ 39.
[9] _adv. Valent._ 3, _in infantia inter somni difficultates a nutricula audisse lamiæ turres et pectines Solis; ibid._ 20, _puerilium dicibulorum in mari poma nasci et in arbore pisces_.
[10] e.g. he alludes to a manual on flowers and garlands by Claudius Saturninus, and another on a similar subject, perhaps, by Leo Ægyptius; _de cor. mil._ 7, 12. Apart from the Christian controversy on the use of flowers, we shall find later on that he had a keener interest in them than some critics might suppose; _adv. Marc._ i, 13, 14.
[11] _de juga_, 10.
[12] _de anima_, 2; cf. _ibid._ 10, quotation of a great anatomist Herophilus who dissected "six hundred" subjects in order to find out Nature's secrets; also _ibid._ 25, a discussion of childbirth to show that the soul does not come into the child with its first breath; _ibid._ 43, a discussion of sleep. _Scorpiace_, 5, surgery.
[13] e.g. the end of _adv. Hermogenem_.
[14] Puns, e.g., on _areæ, ad Scap._ 3; on _strophæ, de Spect._ 29; on _pleroma, adv. Val._ 12. See his nonsense on the tears, salt, sweet, and bituminous, of Achamoth, a Valentinian figure, _adv. Val._ 15; on "the Milesian tales of his Æons," _de Anima._ 23.
[15] _adv. Valent._ 6.
[16] _adv. Valent._ 1.
[17] _de baptismo_, 4.
[18] _de oratione,_ 15
[19] _de anima,_ 3.
[20] _de bapt._ 3 (end)
[21] On _de pallio_ see Boissier, _La Fin da Paganisme_, bk. iii, ch. 1.
[22] _ad Natt_, i, 7; the charges were incest, and child-murder for purposes of magic.
[23] _de Præscriptione_, 44 (end). Similarly of resurrection, virgin-birth, etc..--_recogitavi_.
[24] _de Patientia_, 1, _miserrimus ego semper æger caloribus impatientiæ_.
[25] Cf. his tone as to the _scortum_, unexampled, so far as I know, in Latin literature, and only approached in Greek perhaps by Dio Chrysostom--the _publicæ libidinis hostiæ_ (_de Spect._ 17), _publicarum libidinum victimæ_ (_de cult. fem._ ii, 12). He alone of all who mention the strange annual scene on the stage, which Cato withdrew to allow, has pity for the poor women.
[26] _de Pænitentia_, 8.
[27] _de corona_, 12.
[28] I refer especially to such passages as _de Carne Christi_, 4-9, 14; _de Resurr. Carnis_, 7, 12, etc.
[29] _de Pænit._ 1, _hoc genus hominum quod et ipsi retro fuimus, cæci, sine domini lumine_.
[30] _Apol._ 15, cf. _ad Natt._ i, 10, another draft of the same matter.
[31] _de Spect._ 19, _eamus in amphitheatrum ... delectemur sanguine humano_ (ironically).
[32] _Apol._ 15. The burning-iron was to see whether any life were left in the fallen.
[33] _de Spect._ 19 (end).
[34] _de Spectaculis_, 17.
[35] _de Pænit._ 4.
[36] _de Pænit._ 12, _peccator omnium notarum, nec ulli rei nisi pænitentiæ natus_.
[37] _de anima_, 19 and 49. Add his words on the wife taken away by death, _cui etiam religiosiorem reservas affectionem_, etc., _de exh. cast._ 11.
[38] _de anima_, 20. Cf. _ibid._ 17, on the moderation of the Stoics, as compared with Plato, in their treatment of the fidelity of the senses.
[39] _ad Scap._ 2. _Tamen humani iuris et naturalis potestatis est unicuique quod putaverit colere_.
[40] _adv. Marc._ i, 10, _major popularitas generis humani_.
[41] _de testim. animæ_, 5.
[42] _de test. an._ 6.
[43] _de jejunio_, 6.
[44] _de spectaculis_, 20.
[45] _de cor. mil._ 5, _Naturæ deus noster est_.
[46] _adv. Marc._ i, 23.
[47] _de anima_, 16.
[48] _adv. Marc._ iii, 2; iv, 11.
[49] _de cor. mil._ 6, _et legem naturalem suggerit et naturam legalem_.
[50] Cf. _de carne Christi_, 4.
[51] _de anima_, 27.
[52] _de carne Christi_, 4, _ipsum mulieris enitentis pudorem vel pro periculo honorandum vel pro natura religiosum_.
[53] _de Resurr. Carnis_, 7.
[54] _Ibid._ 6.
[55] _adv. Marcion._ i, 13, 14. Compare the beautiful picture at the end of _de Oratione_, of the little birds flying up, "spreading out the cross of their wings instead of hands, and saying something that seems to be prayer."
[56] _adv. Marc._ ii, 4.
[57] _de cor. mil._ 15.
[58] _de præscr._ 40, _et si adhuc memini, Mithra signat_, etc.
[59] Apol. 18. _Hæc et nos risimus aliquando_. _De vestris sumus_.
[60] _de test. animæ_, 1.
[61] So Arnobius (i, 58, 59) and Augustine felt. Tertullian does not complain of the style himself, but it was a real hindrance to many.
[62] _de Pallio_, 3, _Sed arcana ista nec omnium nosse_.
[63] _ad Scap._ 3.
[64] "The devils entered into the swine." Cf. p. 164.
[65] Pliny to Trajan, 96, 3, _pertinaciam et inflexibilem obstinationem_.
[66] Marcus Aurelius, xi, 3. Cf. Aristides, _Or._ 46, who attributes _authádeia_, to _oi en tê Palaistíne dussebeîs_.
[67] _Hist. August. M. Anton._ 16, _Erat enim ipse tantæ tranquillitatis ut vultum nunquam mutaverit mærore vel gaudio_.
[68] _Apol._ 50, _Illa ipsa obstinatio quam exprobratis magistra est. Quis enim bib contemplatione eius concutitur ad requirendum quid intus in re sit? quis non ubi requisivit accedit? ubi accessit pati exoptat_, etc.
[69] _ad. Scap._ 5. _Quisque enim tantam tolerantiam spectans, ut aliquo scrupulo percussus, et inquirere accenditur, quid sit in causa, et ubi cognoverit veritatem et ipse statim sequitur_.
[70] _Scorpiace_, 8 (end).
[71] _de testim. animæ_, 2. Cf. _de cult. fem._ ii, 2, _Timor fundamentum salutis est_.
[72] _de Pænitentia_, 3.
[73] _de Pænit._ 40. _Quid revolvis? Deus præcipit_.
[74] _ad Natt._ i, 1.
[75] _de Idol._ 5.
[76] _de cor mil._ 11, _non admittit status fidei necessitates_.
[77] _de Idol._ 12.
[78] _de virg. vel._ i, _Dominus noster Christus veritatem se non consuetudinem cognominavit_.
[79] _de Idol._ 10.
[80] See the correspondence of Ausonius and Paulinus.
[81] Dio Cassius, 67, 14; Suetonius, _Domit._ 15; Eusebius, _E.H._ iii, 18. See E. G. Hardy, _Studies in Roman History_, ch. v., pp. 66, 67.
[82] To obtain evidence--legal in the case of slaves.
[83] _de Idol._ 17.
[84] Cf. _adv. Valentin._ 5.

[101] _Scorpiace_, 4 (end).
[102a] _de fuga_, 14 (both passages).
[102b] _de fuga_, 14 (both passages).

[104] For this cry in various forms see _Apol._ 40; _de res. carn._ 22; _de exh. castit._ 12; _de spect._ 27, _conventus et cætus ... illic guotidiani in nos leones expostulantur_.
