Created means appointed when said of the divinity
Cyril is opening his interpretation of Proverbs 8:22, explaining how the phrase 'The Lord created me' should be understood.
"The Lord created me" (Proverbs 8:22). If you take "he created me" as referring to the divinity, it means "he appointed me." So too: "Create a clean heart in me, O God" (Psalm 50:12 LXX; Psalm 51:10 in modern Hebrew numbering). And: "that he might create the two in himself" (Ephesians 2:15). For it is not in essence that he might create those who had already come into being, but that he might appoint them. Therefore he appointed me as the beginning of his providential and creative works. And to David he says: "I was appointed king by him."

ΕΚ ΤΗΣ ΕΡΜΗΝΕΙΑΣ ΤΟΥ ΑΓΙΟΥ ΚΥΡΙΛΛΟΥ ΕΙΣ ΤΑΣ ΠΑΡΟΙΜΙΑΣ Κύριος ἔκτισέ με. {Κυρίλλου.} Τὸ ἔκτισέ με, ἂν περὶ θεότητος ἐκλάβῃς, ἀντὶ τοῦ Κατέστησέ με· ὡς τὸ, Καρδίαν καθαρὰν κτίσον ἐν ἐμοὶ, ὁ Θεός. Καὶ,Ἵνα τοὺς δύο κτίσῃ ἐν ἑαυτῷ. Οὐ γὰρ οὐσιωδῶς, ἵνα κτίσῃ τοὺς ἤδη γεγενημένους, ἀλλ' ἵνα καταστήσῃ. Κατέστησεν οὖν με ἀρχὴν τῶν προνοητικῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιητικῶν ἔργων. Καὶ τῷ ∆αβὶδ γὰρ λέγει· Ἐγὼ κατεστάθην βασιλεὺς ὑπ' αὐτοῦ.
