Thesis 3>11

Latin

Eadem res in creatura ratione suae actualitatis dicitur esse, et ratione suae determinationis dicitur essentia.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 20437

English

In a creature, one and the same thing is called existence by reason of its actuality, and essence by reason of its determinacy.

'determinatio' rendered 'determinacy', i.e. what makes a thing the definite thing it is; sense checked.
