“The word was used as a quasi philosophical term to
express the doctrine quoted by St. Basil, in § 13: it
does not occur in the confession of Eunomius, which was prepared
after this book, a.d. 382; but it was used
by him in his Liber Apologeticus (before
a.d. 365) against which St. Basil
wrote.” Rev. C.F.H. Johnston. For
“ὑπαρίθμησις”
the only authorities given by the lexicons are
“ecclesiastical.” But the importation from the
“wisdom of the world” implies use in heathen
philosophy.
