Institutes of Elenctic Theology by Francis Turretin
Hence arose the distinction of the word into unwritten (agraphon) and written (engraphon), a division not of the genus into species (as the papists maintain, as if the unwritten word were different from the written), but a distinction of the subject into its accidents, because that it was formerly not written and now is written are accidents of the same word. It is therefore called 'unwritten' (agraphon), not with respect to the present time, but to the past when God saw fit to instruct his church by spoken word alone and not by writing.
