St Photius the Great, tr. Freese, 1920; selections

5. Codex 5: Sophronius

Read also the attack of Sophronius¹ on Eunomius in defence of St. Basil. His style is clearer and more concise than that of Theodore. He does not traverse all the arguments of Eunomius, but chiefly attacks and refutes those which appear to contain the most essential points of his heresy. The style is aphoristic, the language in general free and simple² and not disagreeable, although embellished with over-laboured arguments.

Notes

Probably the friend of St. Jerome and translator of his works.
Ασύνδετος, lit., “without conjunctions.”
