To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
founder, St. Athanasius, is regarded as the real author of the existing system. Of the erection of his monastery (about A. D. 960), with the help of Nicephorus Phocas, Ave have already spoken ; but his ideas on the subject of the monastic community and its future development seem to have extended beyond this, for the office of " First Man " was founded in his time, apparently as a means of com- bining and regulating a number of separate societies. About the same period the village of Caryes, wh...ich even before this had been a meeting-place for the hermits, was appointed to be the seat of government. The effect of this is seen in the establishment, within a few years, of three other important convents, also on the eastern coast of the peninsula — Iveron and Vatopedi before the end of that century, and Sphigmenu at the commencement of the next. By the time of Constantine Monomachus, less than 100 years from the time of St. Athanasius, the mo- nastic buildings, which had then numbered 58, amounted to 180, containing 700 monks.
