Sigalion in the Shield of Croesiades or Apologetic Dialogue for the Mystery of Detected Syncretism

(a) in Dio Cassius, book 57.

(b) Concerning the power of creating names, Cicero original: "Tullius" argues this in On Ends, book 3, number 3: "For us, to whom words must also be birthed, and new names imposed on new things—which indeed no one moderately learned will wonder at, considering that in every art whose use is not vulgar and common, there is much novelty of names, when the vocabularies of those things which are in each art are established. Therefore, both Dialecticians and Physicists use words that are known to the Greeks themselves; geographers, musicians, and grammarians speak in a certain way of their own. Likewise, the very arts of the Rhetoricians, which are entirely forensic and popular, yet use words as if they were private and their own. And to omit these elegant and liberal arts, not even craftsmen could protect their own crafts unless they used vocabularies unknown to us, but customary to themselves. Furthermore, agriculture, which recoils from all more polished elegance, yet has marked with new names those things in which it is occupied: by how much more must this be done by the Philosopher? For Philosophy is the art of life, about which those discussing cannot snatch words from the marketplace."
