Julian accusation
Against Julian 6.18.53
You have changed your position: forgetting your entire book, you have declared that lust is a substance.
Latin
Non substantialiter manere concupiscentiam, sicut corpus aliquod aut spiritum; sed esse affectionem quamdam malae qualitatis, sicut est languor
Me mutasse sententiam, et immemorem totius libri mei professum fuisse substantiam esse libidinem
