Direct quotation
Against Julian 2.10.37
“The common dregs of sedentary tradesmen,” “stirred up against us.”
“Soldiers”; “students in lecture halls”; “sailors, shopkeepers, fishmongers, cooks, butchers”; “young men who have broken away from the monks.”
“From a crowd of all sorts of clergy,” “because they cannot judge doctrines according to Aristotle’s categories.”
“We are denied an examination and a judgment by bishops.”
Latin
de plebeia faece sellulariorum
in vestram invidiam concitati sunt?
milites?
scholastici auditoriales?
nautae, tabernarii, cetarii, coqui, lanii?
adolescentes ex monachis dissoluti?
de qualiumcumque clericorum turba
quia non possunt secundum categorias Aristotelis de dogmatibus iudicare
examen vobis et episcopale iudicium denegari
