(Of the examples of [[αἰώνιος]] from [[Philo]] ([[with]] whom it is [[less]] [[common]] [[than]] [[ἀΐδιος]], [[which]] [[see]], of [[which]] [[there]] are [[some]] [[fifty]] instances) the [[following]] are [[noteworthy]]: de mut. nora. § 2; de caritate § 17; [[κόλασις]] [[αἰώνιος]] [[fragment]] in Mang. 2:667 at the [[end]] (Richter 6:229 [[middle]]); cf. de praem, et poen. § 12.

[[αἰώνιος]] (from [[Plato]] on) gives [[prominence]] to the immeasurableness of [[eternity]] ([[while]] [[such]] words as [[συνεχής]] [[continuous]], unintermitted, [[διατελής]] [[perpetual]], [[lasting]] to the [[end]], are [[not]] so [[applicable]] to an [[abstract]] [[term]], [[like]] [[αἰών]]); [[αἰώνιος]] [[accordingly]] is [[especially]] adapted to supersensuous things, [[see]] the N.
