Additional Notes:
Arabic ..... صور الإله المستخدمة كمحور للعبادة؛ يستخدم هذا المصطلح عادة على وجه التحديد لتمييز العنصر غير المسيحي عن الصور المسيحية. للحصول على صورة مسيحية تعتبر في حد ذاتها مقدسة، استخدم "أيقونة". للحصول على صورة مقدسة يونانية أو رومانية قديمة، استخدم "صورة عبادة". 
Dutch ..... Beelden van een godheid die als voorwerp van aanbidding worden gebruikt; de term wordt meestal in specifieke zin gebruikt om onderscheid aan te brengen tussen een niet-christelijk object en christelijke beelden. Gebruik 'icoon' voor een christelijk beeld dat als heilig wordt beschouwd. Gebruik 'cultusbeeld' voor een oud-Grieks of -Romeins heilig beeld. 
German ..... Bild einer Gottheit, das als Mittelpunkt der Verehrung verwendet wird; der Begriff wird gewöhnlich spezifisch gebraucht, um ein nichtchristliches Objekt von christlichen Bildern zu unterscheiden. Für ein christliches Bild, das selbst als heilig angesehen wird, siehe ["Ikone"](300033945). Für ein antikes griechisches oder römisches heiliges Bild, siehe ["Kultbild"](300178240).
