Julian claim and reported accusation
Against Julian 6.2.3
God is the creator of human beings.
Augustine reports Julian inferred from his language about being born for the world that everything belonging to the world must belong to the devil.
Latin
Deum esse hominum conditorem
Mundo, non Deo nasci hominem, qui de concupiscentia carnis nascitur; Deo autem nasci cum ex aqua et spiritu renascitur
eos qui de corporum commixtione nascuntur ad ius diaboli pertinere
de potestate erui tenebrarum, cum regenerantur in Christo
