Description

They were living in the vicinity of Constantinople, very many originally from Adrianopolis; they were quick-witted, with tongues at odds with their thoughts, very ready to plan something outrageous and effective in its executiion
... μάλιστα ὅσοι τὴν ᾽Αδριανούπολιν ᾤκησαν ἐξ ἀρχῆς, ἄνδρες δεινοὶ τὰς γνώμας καὶ τὴν γλῶτταν ἀντίστροφον ταῖς ἐνθυμήσεσιν ἔχοντες, βουλεύσασθαί τι τῶν ἀτόπων ἑτοιμότατοι καὶ καταπράξασθαι δραστικωτάτοι. Psellos: Chronographia VI 102.1-6
They were very clever at hiding their thoughts and most faithful to their mutual agreements
κρύψαι τε λογισμοὺς ἀκριβέστατοι, καὶ τὰς πρὸς ἀλλήλους ὁμολογίας πιστότατοι. Psellos: Chronographia VI 102.6-7
