112 proprietas substantiate, ut et spiritus (i.e. the Logos ) res suas egerit in illo, id est virtutes, et caro passiones suas functa sit, denique et mortua. The phrases "homo Christi," "assumptus homo" or "susceptus homo" are very often found in the west even as late as in Augustine. The idea of the coexistence of the forma servi and the forma dei, which we found in Nestorius, belonged here to the tradition, and in Novatian (about 250) we find the idea, returning even in the 8th century in the Adoptianism of Spain, that by the son of God by nature the son of man also, whom he joined to himself and who was not son of God by nature, was made a son of God , and as late as in the 4th century Ambrosius says about the words on the cross: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" clamavit homo divinitatis separatione moriturus.
