[ Rheustos ]

 VID. Decr. § 11. de Synod. § 51. Orat. i. § 15, 16. vid. also Orat. i. § 28. Bas. in Eun. ii. 23. [ rhusin ]. ibid. ii. 6. Greg. Naz. Orat. 28. 22. Vid. contr. Gentes, § 41, where Athan., without reference to the Arian controversy, draws out the contrast between the Godhead and human nature. "The nature of things generated," as having its subsistence from nothing, "is of a transitory ([ rheustos ], melting, dissolving, dissoluble) and feeble and mortal sort, considered by itself. Seeing then that it was transitory and had no stay, lest this should come into effect, and it should be resolved into its original nothing, God governs and sustains it all by His own Word, who is Himself God," and who, he proceeds, § 42, "remaining Himself immovable with the Father, moves all things in His own consistence, as in each case it may seem fit to His Father." vid. [ Metousia ], etc.
