Chapter 45

The term anhypostaton is also used in two senses. Thus, it sometimes means that which has no existence whatsoever, that is to say, the non-existent. But it sometimes means that which does not have its being in itself, but exists in another, that is to say, the accident.

[31] {Περὶ ἀνυποστάτου.} Καὶ τὸ ἀνυπόστατον δὲ δισσῶς λέγεται: ποτὲ μὲν γὰρ τὸ μηδαμῇ μηδαμῶς ὂν σημαίνει ἤγουν τὸ ἀνύπαρκτον, ποτὲ δὲ τὸ μὴ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ἔχον τὸ εἶναι ἀλλ' ἐν ἑτέρῳ ἔχον τὴν ὕπαρξιν ἤγουν τὸ συμβεβηκός.
