Description
(2)
One of the strongest opponents of the reigning emperor (
Michael 7
) and the logothetes (
Nikephoros 63
) among many members of the senate and the clergy who were opposed to both, he was looking for an opportunity to further his interests
δυσμενῶς εἶχον πρός τε τὸν κρατοῦντα καὶ πρὸς τὸν λογοθέτην, μάλιστα δὲ πάντων ὁ πατριάρχης Ἀντιοχείας Αἰμυλιανὸς...καιρὸν ἐζήτουν ὥστε σφίσι συμφέροντα δρᾶσαι. Bryennios 239.19-23
A most cunning man, energetic, and both willing and capable more than anybody else of stirring unrest among the people
ἀνὴρ πανοῦργος ὁμοῦ καὶ δραστήριος καὶ δῆμον πρὸς ἀταξίαν κινῆσαι εἴπερ τις ἄλλος καὶ δυνάμενος καὶ βουλόμενος. Bryennios 245.3-4
