Basil of Caesarea — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 10:17-20

Patristic A.D. 379
Basil of Caesarea · c. A.D. 330–379
“(Hom. Quod Deus non est auctor mali.) He is called Satan, because he is an enemy to God, (for this the Hebrew word signifies,) but he is called the Devil, because he assists us in doing evil, and is an accuser. His nature is incorporeal, his abode in the air.”
