II. When he went unto Greece of Athens (!)

6

When he entered into the city of Athens which is called Hellas, 300 philosophers gathered and said: Let us go and see what his wisdom is, for they say of the wise men of Asia that their wisdom is great. For they supposed Philip to be a philosopher: he travelled only in a cloak and an undergarment. So they assembled and looked into their books, lest he should get the better of them.

Ἐγένετο δὲ ὅτε εἰσῆλθεν Φίλιππος εἰς τὴν πόλιν τῶν Ἀθηνῶν τὴν καλουμένην Ἑλλάδα, συνήχθησαν παρ᾽ αὐτῷ τριακόσιοι φιλόσοφοι λέγοντες· Ἀπελθόντες ἴδωμεν τις ἡ σοφία αὐτοῦ. λέγουσιν γὰρ περὶ τῶν σοφῶν τῆς Ἀσίας ὅτι μεγάλη αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ σοφία. Ἔδοξαν γὰρ τὸν Φίλιππον εἶναι φιλόσοφον, ἐπειδὴ ἦν ὁδεύων σχήματι ἀποτακτικοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι ἀπόστολός ἐστιν Χριστοῦ. τὸ γὰρ ἔνδυμα ὅπερ ἔδωκεν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐπενδύτης μόνον ἦν καὶ λέντιον· οὕτως οὖν ἦν περιοδεύων ὁ Φίλιππος. διὰ τοῦτο οὖν ὅτε ἐθεάσαντο αὐτὸν οἱ φιλόσοφοι τῆς Ἑλλάδος ἐφοβήθησαν· συνήχθησαν οὖν εἰς ἕνα τόπον καὶ ἐλάλησαν εἰς ἑαυτούς· Δεῦτε ἐπισκεψώμεθα τὰς βίβλους ἡμῶν, μή πως νικήσῃ ἡμᾶς ὁ ξένος οὗτος καὶ αἰσχύνῃ ἡμᾶς.
