"For he seemed to be both giant-like in body and beast-like in spirit and more subtle in sagacity than all his fellow thieves."1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Γιγαντώδης· ἐδόκει γὰρ τό τε σῶμα γιγαντώδης εἶναι καὶ τὸν θυμὸν θηριώδης καὶ ἐς ἀγχίνοιαν τῶν συλλῃστευόντων ἁπάντων πολυπλοκώτερος.

  2. 1Eunapius fr.11 FHG (4.17); Dindorf, Historici Graeci Minores vol.1. p. 218; Blockley, Eunapius fr. 18.[3]. Apparently about Charietto(n) (chi 109). ↩
