Translation: "Since they understood the simplicity and archaic [nature] of Spyridon's share of piety and moreover his utter ignorance of Greek education, they used to prevent him from going out in public and contending with the sophist at an assembly."[1]
For [his was] an old and archaizing style of speaking,[2] simple and unadorned.[3]
