    Barlaam and Josaphat (Greek)

    and he himself went off senselessly to the idol-temples to sacrifice to those gods more senseless than himself and to render hymns of thanksgiving, not knowing who is truly the cause of all good things, to whom he ought to have offered the spiritual sacrifice.

    Barlaam and JosaphatMedieval · Greek

    Man-made carved and molten images worshipped as gods.

    For they made these things with their own hands, and they worship what their own fingers made, saying:
    chapter 10
    Therefore be ashamed with an everlasting shame, you who trust in carved images, you who say to molten images:
    chapter 10
    are you not ashamed to bow down before dead images, the works of a man's hand?
    chapter 31

    ProtrepticusLate Antiquity · Greek

    Cult statues and stones worshipped by pagans, repeatedly dismissed as lifeless matter.

    Surely it is plain to everyone that they are stones, just as Hermes himself is.
    protrepticus
    many, too, deprived of their privy parts, showing in fact that the precincts of the idols are tombs or prison-houses.
