From Chapter 58 of the Decline & Fall

William of Tyre (l. i. c. 11, p. 637, 638) thus describes the hermit:

Pusillus, persona contemptibilis, vivacis ingenii, et oculum habeas perspicacem gratumque, et sponte fluens ei non deerat eloquium.

See Albert Aquensis, p. 185. Guibert, p. 482. Anna Comnena in Alexiad, l. x. p. 284, etc., with Ducange's Notes, p. 349.
