They the hazers or eversores were rightly called Overturners

Summary

This quote explains the origins of the term "Overturners" used to describe hazers or eversores who would taunt and harass new students at Cartage during the 4th century. These individuals were referred to as "Overturners" because they themselves had been initially deceived and led astray by the demons who took pleasure in using them to mock and humiliate others. In essence, they were instruments of the devil, unaware that they were being manipulated and ridiculed by the very forces they thought they were aligning with.
