Oooh, I'll be watching the comments on this with interest. I'm currently writing a chapter on Augustine and time and one of the problems that I'm having is that he doesn't appear to have different words for things like atemporality Vs eternity and, as far as I can tell, most ancient writers don't seem to make anywhere near as many temporal distinctions as we do. I'm only just starting to research the vocab bit of this chapter so I don't as yet have anything much to add but I'll come back to it.
