      Kua tuatua a Novatian (vaitata rai 200-258 T.N.) e: “Mei te mea kua karanga Aia ‘okotai’ mea,[b] te tuku ra i te aronga akaapaapa kia marama e kare Aia i karanga ana ‘okotai’ peretana. No te mea ko te okotai tei tukunaia i te tu neuta, te akapiri ra i te kapiti anga rotai, kare i te taokotai anga peretana. . . . Pera katoa, no tei tuatua Aia okotai, e tuatua anga te reira i te koreromotu anga, i te akataka anga o te akava anga, e te piri anga aroa uaorai, mei tei tau ra e okotai te Metua e te Tamaiti i te koreromotu anga, i te aroa, e i te inangaro.”​—Treatise Concerning the Trinity, pene 27.
