Tertullian

The second-century Christian theologian Tertullian once said “It is certain because it is impossible.”

Tertullian expressly declares that the provision made for the poor included that for their burial—egenis humandis.

Tertullian, in the second century, speaks of chalices on which were paintings of the Good Shepherd and the lost sheep.

Tertullian asserted that fossils resulted from the flood of Noah.

Tertullian calls a teacher of arithmetic primus numerorum arenarius (de Pallio, in fine).

Now the case of many people who are not as wise as Tertullian and Socrates is identical with theirs.
