I was just reading Ramsay MacMullen's Voting About God in Early Church Councils who says, concerning conciliar acta, "that a great deal of common speech is on display, because of the stenographic quality of the text. Nowhere else in the written record of antiquity is there a match for this. All sorts of grammatical constructions, word choices, meanings of words, and departures from a careful, educated style turn up in both the Greek and Latin." (p.10)
