Among the adulatory formulas with which the emperor was acclaimed, Prof. Ethelbert Stauffer mentions, as going back to the first century, "Hail, Victory, Lord of the earth, Invincible, Power, Glory, Honour, Peace, Security, Holy, Blessed, Unequalled, Great, Thou alone worthy art, Worthy is he to inherit the Kingdom, Come, come, do not delay, Come again" (p. 155) [in Christ and the Caesars]. Indeed, one has only to read Psalm lxxii, in Latin, in the official language of the empire, to see that it is largely the same formal language which is used alike in the Forum for the advent of the emperor, and in the catacombs for the celebration of the "Epiphany of Christ" (p. 251).

Caesar, or Jesus?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It really put us on ... the mass consumer map, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39853]]></link><description><![CDATA[It really put us on ... the mass consumer map,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In 1998, Linux had 16 percent of the server operating system market, and in 1999, it already had 25 percent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40461]]></link><description><![CDATA[In 1998, Linux had 16 percent of the server operating system market, and in 1999, it already had 25 percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're in the middle of the review process with the ULA deal.
