Ἁπλότης

[Simplicity is] of two kinds. The one [is] intelligent and just, the other foolish and unjust. After all, the contemporary multiplicity also develops in some with justice and good sense, but in others with injustice and ignorance. For, as Plato says, of old evils revolved around this mortal world from necessity,¹ but less malicious than they are now, and simpler and not incurably burned into the souls in some depth. For great is the difference between the ancient evils and the new, and not in magnitude only of greater and lesser, but also in quality of kinds.
