Adler number: epsilon,376

"For they are both exactors of justice, they urge[1] us to the limit of justice."[2] He is speaking about Gregory[3] and Basil.[4]
Greek Original:
*)ekbiasth/s. a)/mfw ga/r ei)sin e)kbiastai\ th=s di/khs, nu/ttousin h(ma=s pro\s to\ th=s di/khs pe/ras. peri\ *grhgori/ou kai\ *basilei/ou fhsi/n.
Notes:
The unglossed headword, the noun e)kbiasth/s, is attested only here and in the entry of ps.-Zonaras for the accusative plural grammatoeisagwgei=s, which corresponds with e)kbiasta/s and paideuta/s, i.e. teachers (of the forceful, insistent kind). It is closely connected with the concept of education, in its broadest sense, as shown in a reference by Theodorus Studites (Letters 384.52): e)kbiastw=s, h)/toi sumbouleutikw=s, "that is to say advisory".
