2. Ὅτι τὸν ἀρχηγὸν αὐτῶν τῆς ἀσεβείας Ἄρειον ὁ συγραφεὺς διαβάλλει, ὡς πολυμερῆ καὶ πολυσύνθετον λέγοντα τὸν θεὸν τῶν ὅλων· οὐ γὰρ ὅσον ἐστὶ ὁ θεὸς καταλαμβάνεσθαι κηρύσσειν, ἀλλ’ ὅσον ἡ ἐκάστου δύναμις πρὸς κατάληψιν ἔρρωται. καὶ μήτε δὲ οὐσίαν αὐτὸν εἶναι δογματίζειν μήτε ὑπόστασιν μήτε ἄλλο μηδὲν ὡν ὀνομάζεται. καὶ τὴν ἐν Ἀριμήνῳ δὲ σύνοδον καὶ τὴν έν Κωνσταντινουπόλει τὰ αὐτὰ δοξάζειν, ἥτις τὴν τοῦ μονογενοῦς γέννησιν ἀγνωστο- τάτην πᾶσιν ἀπέφηνεν, τῶν γινομένων μόνον τὴν γνῶσιν αὐτῆς περι- στείλασα. αὕτη δ’ ἦν ἡ καταδικασαμένη καὶ τὸν Ἀέτιον.
