Showing 5 terms beginning with O.

Oceanus, a Roman of noble birth
Olympias, the younger

Optatus, bp. of Milevis
Origenes, known as Origen
Orosius, Paulus

¹⁰⁶Seen, for example, in one like St. Paul, of whom Celsus took no notice (i. 63).

¹⁰⁷Not specially mentioned, but Origen's usage is decisive as to the position he assigned to it. The tacit omission well illustrates the danger of trusting to negative evidence.

¹⁰⁸The statement of Tarinus (Philoc. p. 683) that Origen wrote a commentary on the Shepherd is a false deduction from the word διηγούμεθα (ib. i. p. 22, 11).
