In Georg Wissowa's terminology, the ''di indigetes'' or ''indigites'' were Roman deities not adopted from other religions, as distinguished from the ''di novensides''. Wissowa thus regarded the ''indigetes'' as "indigenous" gods, and the ''novensides'' as "newcomer gods". Ancient usage, however, does not treat the two terms as a dichotomy, nor maintain this clear-cut distinction.〔Arnaldo Momigliano, "From Bachofen to Cumont," in ''A.D. Momigliano: Studies on Modern Scholarship'' (University of California Press, 1994), p. 319.〕 Wissowa's interpretation is no longer widely accepted and the meaning remains uncertain. In classical Latin, the epithet ''Indiges'', singular in form, is applied to Sol ''(Sol Indiges)'' and to Jupiter of Lavinium, later identified with Aeneas. One theory holds that it means the "speaker within", and goes back to before the recognition of divine persons. Another, which the Oxford Classical Dictionary holds more likely, is that it means "invoked" in the sense of "pointing to", as in the related word ''indigitamenta''. In Augustan literature, the ''di indigites'' are often associated with ''di patrii'' and appear in lists of local divinities (that is, divinities particular to a place).〔For example, Vergil, ''Georgics'' 1.498f.; Ovid, ''Metamorphoses'' 15.861–867; Richard Gordon, "Roman Inscriptions 1995–2000," ''Journal of Roman Studies'' 93 (2003), p. 266.〕 Servius notes that Praeneste had its own ''indigetes''.〔Servius, note to ''Aeneid'' (7.678. )〕 Evidence pertaining to ''di indigites'' is rarely found outside Rome and Lavinium, but a fragmentary inscription from Aletrium (modern Alatri, north of Frosinone) records offerings to ''di Indicites'' including Fucinus, a local lake-god; Summanus, a god of nocturnal lightning; Fiscellus, otherwise unknown, but perhaps a local mountain god; and the Tempestates, weather deities. The inscription has been interpreted as a list of local or nature deities to whom transhumant shepherds should make propitiary offers.〔R. Gordon "Roman Inscriptions 1995–2000" in ''Journal of Roman Studies'' 93 (2003) pp. 266–267 and note 348; G. L. Gregori, L. Galli ''Donaria: le offerte agli dei'' Museo Civico di Alatri, Frosinone, 1995〕 Wissowa listed 33 ''di indigetes'', including two collectives in the plural, the Lares of the estate and the Lemures of the dead.〔J.S. Wacher, ''The Roman World'' (Routledge, 1990, originally published 1987), p. 751.〕 Any list of ''indigetes'', however, is conjectural; Raimo Anttila points out that "we do not know the list of the ''di indigetes''."〔Raimo Antilla, ''Greek and Indo-European Etymology'' (John Benjamins, 2000), p. 180 (online. )〕 ==Ancient sources== Carl Koch compiled a list of Latin authors and inscriptions using the phrase ''di indigetes'' or ''Indiges'':〔Carl Koch, "Gestirnverehrung im alten Italien.
