36. The description of the level of education of the three teachers
from Symi580:
Manuel Gideon describes Nikandros Georgiadis: "...the preacher and teacher by profession. The teaching of this man, especially from the ambo, as I have learned (from oral tradition), provoked the wrath of the Turkish government, which demanded from the Patriarchate the punishment of this man. This was Nicander Philadelphus, who taught in his native Symi, then in Chios for a short time. He then took over the monastery (parish) of Chabika in Rhodes, and later became the abbot of the monastery of Panormitou in Symi in 1866, and directed it until 1872, when he retired to a privately owned villa in Rhodes. There he died eighty-eighth, in 1873....

He was born in 1766. 1765), taught the elements of Greek at the school of Agia Marini (Symi), then trained in the decadent Athonia-di, in the school of Kydonia, before this peak, and in the Evangelii of Smyrna, of which Chrysanthos Karavia, who died in 1812, was the schoolmaster, after teaching for seventy-two years. Ioannis taught in Symi from the beginning of the eleventh century until 1806, when, after his brother Michael, also trained, they went to Mount Athos. Both brothers taught at the school in Neochoro on the Bosphorus from 1817-31, and earlier at the school in Galatas (in the city of Galatas) John, who was invited to Symi and taught from 1834 to 1839, when the

The townspeople dismissed him as the caretaker and administrator of the monastery, being a layman, and in March 1843 he was ordained an elder. The old man died in September 1860 at the age of ninety-four and a half. He left critical reviews and corrections of our ritual books, which he was aware of, which Bartholomew of Koutlumusian581, who misquoted those of Dorotheos Voulisma, and silenced those of James the Protopsalmist of the Peloponnese".
