"The fact that Philo of Alexandria is the first surviving author actually to describe God as arrhetos (e.g. Somn. I. 67, where God is described as not only arrhetos, but 'unnameable' and 'utterly incomprehensible') is interesting, but cannot, I think, confer on Philo the importance which Wolfson (1952) would claim for him." (John Dilon, Alcinous: The Handbook of Platonism, p. 101)
