What the other people thought about Abba Moses may not necessarily have portrayed him correctly. An alternative explanation is that Abba Moses had low thoughts about himself, according to the old saying:

The judge seems to have been taking it that way, anyway, which is reflected in the words of the storyteller: "the judge went away much edified".
