εἰδωλολάτρης and εἰδωλολατρία are regarded by Nägeli (p. 51) as Christian formations : cf. the Acts of the martyrdom of Christina PSI I. 27.21 (v/A.D.) ἐξῆλθεν τὸ πῦρ αἄφν [ω (l. ἄφνω) καὶ ἀπέκτ ]εινεν ψυχὰς [εἰδωλολατ ]ρῶν. A compound εἰδωλοποιητής is found in Vett. Valens p. 112.34. Εἰδωλομανία, a stronger formation than εἰδωλολατρία, appears quater in Barlaam and Ioasaph (viii/A.D.), e.g. ch. i. § 3 τῷ τῆς εἰδωλομανίας ἐμελαίνετο ζόφῳ, ";(Persia) was darkened with the gloom of idolatry.";
