Here is a simple question for you.
Putting aside the abbot/hegumen question and the age question.
(Both of which have scholarship on both sides, and the abbot one is more a quibble.)
… Do you agree with the references to
Procopius Dendrinos close connection
Capodistrias approval as teacher, (Simonides, & affirmed in 1832 Gazette)
revolutionary fervor, involvement
Vissarion name,
Athens manuscript study (Lycurgus source)
strong hymnist, theologian and manuscript savant
various schools where he taught, including Kydonia, see David Daniels book
born in Symi and related to mom of Simonides (not “imaginary”
)
Are there any specific spots where you disagree with the Simonides narrative of the fascinating life of Benedict?
(And supporting data, like his hymn publications.)

Add - skilled in many languages (I think Simonides says 12)
Similar to Barry Farber (1930-2020).
