[78] _Apol._ 98. Cf. _Passio Perpetuae_, c. 13, _et caepit Pirpetua Graece cum eis loqui_, says Saturus; Perpetua uses occasional Greek words herself in recording her visions. [79] _Apol._ 43. Cf. Plutarch cited on p. 101. [80] _Apol._ 55, 56. Cf. _Florida_, 1, an ornamental passage on pious usage. [81] _Apol._ 90. Many restorations have been attempted. [82] e.g. Tertullian, _de Anima_, 57, _Ostanes et Typhon et Dardanus et Damigeron et Nectabis et Berenice_. [83] Much of this material Apuleius has taken from the _Timaeus_, 40 D to 43 A. [84] Cf. Lactantius, _Instit._ ii, _de origine erroris_, c. 5. Tertullian, _ad Natt._ ii, 2. Cicero, _N.D._ ii, 15, 39-44. [85] _de deo Socr._ 3, 124. Cf. the account (quoted below) of what was experienced in initiation, which suggests some acquaintance with mystical trance--the confines of death and the sudden bright light look very like it. [86] _de deo Socr._ 4, 126. [87] _de deo Socr._ 5, 130-132. [88] _de deo Socr._ 6, 132. Cf. Tert. _Apol._ 22, 23, 24, on nature and works of demons, on lines closely similar. [89] _de deo Socr._ 7, 136. [90] See chapter vi. p. 188. [91] _de deo Socr._ 11, 144. [92] _de deo Socr._ 15. [93] The story of Lamachus "our high-souled leader," now "buried in the entire element," would make anyone wish to become a brigand, Sainte-Beuve said. Here one must regretfully omit the robbers' cave altogether. [94] _Metam._ xi, 3, 4. Apuleius had a fancy for flowing hair. [95] _Metam._ xi, 5. [96] _Metam._ xi. 8 ff. [97] _Metam._ xi, 15, _da nomen santae huic militiae cuius ... sacramento_, etc. [98] Tertullian remarks that pagan rituals, unlike Christian baptism, owe much to pomp and expense; _de Bapt._ 2. _Mentior si non e contrario idolorum sollemnia vel arcana de suggestu et apparatu deque sumptu fidem et auctoritatem sibi extruunt_. [99] Augustine, _C.D._ xviii, 18; and cf. _ib._ viii, (on the _de deo Socr._); and Lactantius, v. 3. [100] Capitolinus _v. Albini_, 12. {239} CHAPTER VIII CELSUS _Deliquit, opinor, divina doctrina ex Judaea potius quam ex Graecia oriens. Erravit et Christus piscatores citius quam sophistam ad praeconium emittens,_--TERTULLIAN, _de Anima_, 3.
