conception of the god in that Latin city, I may say here that I adhere to what I said about this in _R.F._ p. 226 foll.; no piece of antique cult has occupied my attention more than this, and I have tried to lay open every source of confirmation or criticism. Wissowa has expressed himself in almost exactly the same terms in _R.K._ p. 209: we arrived at our conclusions independently. [323] Tertullian, _ad Nationes_ 11, and _de Anima_, 37 foll.; Aug. _de Civ. Dei_, iv. _passim_, and especially ch. xi.; R. Peter compiled a complete list (_Myth. Lex._, _s.v._ "Indigitamenta," p. 143) from these and other sources. [324] Aug. _C.D._ vii. 17. That this was what Varro meant by _di certi_ was first affirmed by Wissowa in a note to his edition of Marquardt, p. 9; it has been generally accepted as the true account. A full discussion will be found in Agahd's edition of the fragments of Varro's work, p. 126 foll.; cf. Peter's article quoted above, and Wissowa, _R.K._ pp. 61 and 65. A somewhat different view is given in Domaszewski's article in _Archiv_ for 1907, p. 1 foll., suggested by Usener's _Goetternamen_. [325] The evidence for this will be found in Marquardt's note 4 on p. 9. I have no doubt that Wissowa is right in explaining Indigitamenta as "Gebetsformeln," formulae of invocation; in which the most important matter, we may add, would be the name of the deity. See his _Gesammelte Abhandlungen_, p. 177 foll. The Indigitamenta contained, as one section, the invocations of _di certi_. [326] Chiefly by Ambrosch in his _Religionsbuecher der Roemer_. Peter's article contains a useful account of the whole progress of research on this subject. [327] _Lex._ p. 137; it was that of his master Reifferscheid. Cp. Wissowa, _op. cit._ (_Ges. Abhandl._ p. 306 foll.). [328] _R.F._ pp. 191, 341. [329] "The place of the Sondergoetter in Greek Polytheism," printed in _Anthropological Essays addressed to E. B. Tylor_, p. 81. Usener's discussion of the Roman and Lithuanian Sondergoetter is in his _Goetternamen_, p. 73 foll. [330] Wissowa writes (_Ges. Abhandl._ p. 320 note) that he has reason to believe that a great number of the Lithuanian Sondergoetter only became such through the treatment of the subject by the mediaeval writers on whom
