Protrepticus
Divine wisdom, described as the sole refuge from demonic error and, later, as the Word that restores those fallen into idolatry.
The only refuge, it seems, left to him who is to come to the doors of salvation is divine wisdom;
" For us, when we had fallen away to the idols, wisdom, which is his Word, sets us upright again toward the truth.
Scorpiace
A personified divine attribute, quoted as saying she has 'slain her sons,' ultimately identified with the act of giving up Christ.
" You see how the divine Wisdom slew even her own first-begotten and only-begotten Son — destined surely to live, nay, even to bring the rest back into life.
