- 1865, William Greenough Thayer Shedd, A History of Christian Doctrine, Volume 1, 3rd Edition, page 377,
- Roscellin was accused of tritheism, and Gilbert of Poictiers of Damian's old heresy of tetratheism.
1908, Walter Frederic Adeney, The Greek and Eastern churches, New York: C. Scribner's Sons, →OCLC, page 504:[…] Tetratheists […] teaching of Damianus […] patriarch of Alexandria […] recognised first the essential personality of the one substance, God in Himself, and then a separate individuality for each of the Three Persons of the Trinity.

2004, Herman Bavinck, edited by John Bolt and John Vriend, Reformed Dogmatics, volume 2, Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, page 293:When in addition the divine being is viewed in a Platonic-realistic sense, tritheism turns into tetratheism, an error with which Damian of Alexandria was charged.
