{{efn|name=Augustine3|Augustine had poor knowledge of the Greek language, and no knowledge of Hebrew. So he trusted the Septuagint, which differentiates between {{lang|grc|κύριοι}} ('lords', vocative plural) and {{lang|grc|κύριε}} ('lord', vocative singular), even if the Hebrew verbal form, {{lang|he|נא-אדני}} ({{tlit|he|na-adoni}}), is exactly the same in both cases.}}

{{efn |name=Arius |Very little of [[Arius]]' own writings have survived. We depend largely on quotations made by opponents which reflect what they thought he was saying. Furthermore, there was no single Arian party or agenda but rather various critics of the Nicene formula working from distinct perspectives.{{harv|Williams|2001}} }}
