Tertullian

“ Now it matters not what their form may be, when our concern is about deformed images. You have amongst you gods with a dog’s head, and a lion’s head, with the horns of a cow, and a ram, and a goat, goat-shaped or serpent-shaped, and winged in foot, head, and back. ”

“ Report has introduced a new calumny respecting our God. Not so long ago, a most abandoned wretch in that city of yours, [2] a man who had deserted indeed his own religion—a Jew, in fact, who had only lost his skin, flayed of course by wild beasts, [3] against which he enters the lists for hire day after day with a sound body, and so in a condition to lose his skin [4] —carried about in public a caricature of us with this label: Onocoetes. [5] This (figure) had ass’s ears, and was dressed in a toga with a book, having a hoof on one of his feet. ”
