Recht und
Rechtsverfahren_, i. p. 358.--The definition in Aristotle, _de virt. et
vit._ 7, p. 1251_a_, has, I think, no legal foundation.

P. 9. On the legal foundation for the trials of Christians, see Mommsen,
_Der Religionsfreuel nach roemischem Recht_ (_Ges. Schr._ iii. p.
389).--Mommsen goes too far, I think, in supposing a legal foundation for
the trials of Christians; above all, I do not believe that the defection
from the Roman religion was ever considered as maiestas in the technical
sense of the word, the more so as it is certain that, after the earliest
period, no difference was made in the treatment of citizens and aliens.

P. 13. Lists of atheists: Cicero, _de nat. deor._ 1. 1, 2 (comp. 1. 23,
26). Sext. Emp. _hypotyp._ 3. 213; _adv. math._ 9. 50. Aelian, _v.h._ 2.
31; _de nat. an._ 6. 40.--The predicate _atheos_ is once applied to
Anaxagoras by a Christian author (Irenaeus: see Diels, _Vorsokr._ 46, A
113; compare also Marcellinus, _vit. Thuc._, see below, note on p. 29). Of
such isolated cases I have taken no account.

P. 16. On the dualism in the Greek conception of the nature of gods see
Naegelsbach, _Hom. Theol._ p. 11.--Pindar: _Ol._ 1. 28, 9. 35; _Pyth._ 3.
27.

P. 17. Xenophanes: Einhorn, _Zeit- und Streitfragen der modernen
Xenophanesforschung_ (_Arch. f. Gesch. d. Philos._ xxxi.).

P. 18. Xenophanes's age: Diels, _Vorsokr._ 11, B 8.--His criticism of Homer
and Hesiod: _ibid._ 11, 12.--Titans and Giants: _ibid._ 1. 22.--Criticism of
Anthropomorphism: _ibid._ 14-16.--Divination: Cic. _de div._ 1. 3, 5.

P. 19. On Xenophanes's conception of God, comp. _Vorsokr._ 11, B 23-26; on
the identification of God with the universe: _Vorsokr._ 11, A 30, 31,
33-36.--Cicero: _de div._ 1. 3, 5.

P. 21. For Xenophanes's theology, comp. Freudenthal, _Arch. f. Gesch. d.
Philos._ i. p. 322, and Zeller's criticism, _ibid._ p. 524. Agreeing with
Freudenthal: Decharme, p. 46; Campbell, _Religion in Greek Literature_, p.
293.

P. 21. Parmenides does not even appear to have designated his "Being" as
God (Zeller, i. p. 563).

P. 23. In the eighteenth century people discussed diffusely the question
whether Thales was an atheist (of course in the sense in which the word
was taken at that time); comp. Tennemann, _Gesch. d. Philos._ i. pp. 62
and 422. Tennemann remarks quite truly that the question is put wrongly.

P. 24. Thales: Diels, _Vorsokr._ 1, A 22-23.--Attitude of Democritus
towards popular belief: _Vorsokr.
