To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
More uncouth, but more good natured, is the joke on the wall in the last room, where, with a few bold strokes, the picture of an ass turning a mill-stone is scratched into the plaster, and below it are these words : (Labora, aselle, quomodo ego laboravi, et prodcrit tibi] " work, little donkey, as I have, and it will do you good. " This witticism may have been perpetrated by a slave who formerly had to turn the mill himself, and is now leisurely looking at the donkey doing it. But I would rathe...r ascribe the jest to one of the depart- ing pupils. He has become " soured, " and is now laughing at the complaints of one of those who must remain, and so draws this neat little picture behind his back. Of all these scrolls the well-known caricature of the crucifixion has become the most noted. To a cross drawn by a few lines is affixed a man with a head of an ass, and, by his side, as if engaged in prayer, is a horribly deformed man, with these words : (M/cca/^cVGic asfc't [aifiz-cai] $sov) " Alexam'enos worships God.
