Mauropous: Orations 198.11 Education (5) He gave precedence in education to law over philosophy, and became as dominant in that field as Michael 61 in philosophy, without neglecting other studies τελεώτερον τοῖς νόμοις φιλοσοφώτερον προσεχώρησε. Psellos Xiphilinos 421 He, Michael 61 and Ioannes 289 were brought together by love of learning; ... he and Ioannes were devotees of philosophy, while Psellos was occupied with the highest philosophy λόγος δὲ τῆς συμφυίας ὁ τῶν μαθημάτων ἐγένετο λόγος· ... ἐκείνω μὲν ἐραστὰ τῆς φιλοσοφίας ἐτύγχανον ὄντε, ἐγὼ δὲ ἐφιλοσόφουν τὰ τελεώτερα. Psellos: Chronographia VI 192.4-9 His education took place half in Trebizond and half in Constantinople, where he could gain the wisdom that astounded the world ἡμιτελῆ μὲν ἔτι τὴν παίδευσιν. Psellos Xiphilinos 421 The extent of his learning is sketched by Michael 61 through the juxtaposition of negative and positive judgements Psellos Xiphilinos 421 Was educated in every branch of learning πεπαίδευτο δὲ παιδείαν λόγων παντοδαπῶν .
