impassibility
natura non patibilis (after Cic., N.D., 3, 12). Sen., Ep., 9, observes that, as a translation of the Greek ἀπάθεια, impatientia would be ambiguous: he attempts invulnerabilis animus; animus extra omnem patientiam positus (both which must, of course, relate to a mind): corpus or animus omni sensu carens.
