(Gr. ἰδιότης ) is a term sometimes used in the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity of the Godhead to designate the properly (Lat. proprietas) of each divine person. This must, however, not be confounded with the divine attributes (eternity, omnipresence, omnipotence, etc.), for they are inherent in the divine essence, and are the common possession of all the divine hypostases, while the idiotes, on the other hand, is a peculiarity of the hypostasis, and therefore cannot be communicated or transferred from one to another. — Schaff. Ch. Hist. 3, 679. (See TRINITY).
