- opportune 3y agoBy that I meant the gifted and advanced (Georgios surely had very advanced language skills), not philosophers specifically. I doubt he’d have been restricted from learning about the philosophical material he was interested in either, though depending on the year, definitely restricted from officially espousing some of that personally.
