Protrepticus
Devotees and makers of pagan idols, described with filthy hair and self-mutilation.
Therefore care no more, not even a little, what certain market-rabble say of you, godless dancers in superstition, pushed by folly and madness into the very pit, makers of idols and worshippers of stones.
Barlaam and Josaphat
Those who worship idols made by their own hands, condemned as senseless.
He used to say that the worshippers of idols are like a bird-catcher who caught one of the smallest of the little birds—they call it a nightingale.
Let those who make them become like them, and all who put their trust in them—those who, it says, having hired a goldsmith, made things by hand, and bowing down worshipped them.
In just this way are those without sense who put their trust in idols.
