Translation
"But in character the king/emperor was simplicity itself, and a certain muted reasonableness [was a feature of his character], and [he was] pliant and agreeable when it came to beneficences, and serious and intense when it came to action."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Αὐτοαπλότης· ἀλλ' ὅ τε βασιλεὺς τὸν τρόπον ἦν αὐτοαπλότης, καὶ σιωπῶσά τις ἐπιείκεια, καὶ πρὸς τὰς δωρεὰς ὑγρὸς καὶ καταφερὴς, καὶ πρὸς τὰς πράξεις βαρὺς καὶ συντεταμένος.
