Hello there,

as translating a philosophical article, I've confronted some difficult and weird reference abbreviations, they are as follows:

(Div. Nom. i)
(prov. 30:4)
( Exod 15.3)
(Q. XII, AA. II, I2)

the article can be found here

since I'm not familiar with the references mentioned, I would very much appreciate your help in defining the whole reference abbreviations.

"Exod" and "prov" may stand for "Exodus" and "Proverbs" in the Bible.

Not a teacher.

I agree with Matthew about the 2nd and 3rd.

The first is probably De divinis nominibus, written by Dionysius the Areopagite (aka Pseudo-Dyonisius).

See more about him here.

The fourth I don't know.

The numbers stand for chapter:verse. Biblical verses are referred to by these numbers in the different books of the Bible.

"(Question 12, Article 12)" appears on the page from that link, but I can't find "Q." let alone "Q. XII, AA. II, I2".
