What reading level is Synesius the Hellene book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Petau's Notitia Historica (in Migne) says that Evoptius succeeded his brother as Bishop of Ptolemais. This is also the opinion of Neander. 1 Druon 2 and Miss Gardner 3 are inclined to accept the statement. We see nothing against it, though it appears to be a mere conjecture 4 from the fact that, among the divines who were present at the Third General Council was an Evoptius, Bishop of Ptolemais. We are quite willing to believe the theory, since there is little to be said against it. There is, u
...ndoubtedly, the difficulty of Hypatia's murder during the patriarchate of Cyril. Still, there is nothing whatever to connect Cyril himself with that outrage. Socrates, indeed, says : ' This brought great disgrace on Cyril and the Alexandrine Church ' ; 5 but the patriarch and Christians in general would naturally be lowered in the eyes of the world, even those of them who were entirely innocent, by such a crime committed by some of their number. Evoptius may well have known much more of the archbishop than we can do, and may not have considered him at all to blame in the matter (though it is to be feared that his hard and domineering character may have stirred up the violent passions of the mob far more than he ever expected).
