Thesis 24.3

Latin

Dei appellatio simpliciter absolute uni competit, qui est deus deorum; simpliciter non absolute cuilibet supersubstantialium; secundum essentiam intellectualium cuilibet; secundum participationem animis diuinis; secundum contactum et coniunctionem demonibus; secundum similitudinem animis humanis.

Closes the mid-word break printed as 'anı/mis' in the source (farmer1998:15949); reads 'animis'.

English

The name 'God' belongs simply and absolutely to the One alone, who is the god of gods; simply but not absolutely to any of the supersubstantial beings; according to essence to any of the intellectual beings; according to participation to the divine souls; according to contact and conjunction to demons; according to likeness to human souls.
