αιω?νιoν, which is derived from αιω?ν, the Greek for saeculum, an age. But the
Latins have not ventured to translate this by secular, lest they should change the meaning into something widely different. For many things are called secular
which so happen in this world as to pass away even in a short time; but what is termed αιω ?νιoν either has no end, or lasts to the very end of this world.
