page 466 note 8 Ficker, a. a. O. S. 542, Nt. refers to a fragment of Melito in Syriac, where it is said: ‘the Illimitable is circumscribed’ (twice), but I doubt whether this stems from the same root, since Melito uses this expression in one of these lists of contrast, of which he is so fond; it may also be that the Greek there would be άχώρητος.
