For before the monoeideis uniform/single-formed ones, but not of uniform nature ineffably, the eternal Word of God the Father; the one and the
only word; is not, nor is the composite nature Christ
according to the holy division of the three and
only of the Gospels by the name of the composite nature, and according to the
same manner entirely existing impossible; but a composite hypostasis a distinct individual being formed of parts. The nature therefore and
the form of the composite nature as the cause being accused.
Not having, nor admitting composite
to be deified without that according to form, the cause being accused
as composite nature; they introduce form according to it.

Christ is a composite nature. Or the wonderful one having ceased
