"the term ungenerate is no part of the essence, but is indicative of a difference of conceptions"

"But if we are compelled to this conclusion by truth and the force of our premises, it is clear that the term ungenerate is no part of the essence, but is indicative of a difference of conceptions, distinguishing that which is generated from that which is ungenerate." (Con. Eun. 2.1.34)

"εἰ δὲ τοῦτο ἥ τε ἀλή θεια καὶ ἡ τῶν κειμένων ἀκολουθία καταναγκάζει, πρό δηλον ὅτι οὐχὶ οὐσίας ἐστὶ τὸ ἀγέννητον ὄνομα, ἀλλὰ δια φορᾶς τινος νοημάτων σημαντικὸν τῆς τὸ γεννηθὲν τοῦ μὴ γεννηθέντος διαστελλούσης."
