Translation
This man lived at the time of emperor Jovian;1 he was not at all inferior to the ancients in education and the superiority of his nature, but through weakness of spirit and simplicity he arrested and brought to trial many who were not guilty.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Εὐετήριος· οὗτος ἦν ἐπὶ Ἰοβιανοῦ βασιλέως· ὃς διὰ μὲν παιδείαν καὶ φύσεως ὑπερβολὴν οὐδέν τι τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀποδέων, διὰ δὲ μαλακίαν ψυχῆς καὶ ἁπλότητα πολλοὺς τῶν οὐκ αἰτίων ἐς κρίσιν κατέδησεν.
