This work introduced new teaching methods with a series of questions and answers on Greek grammar and was considered a create success in Greek education and especially among the schools of Ioannina.[1][2]
Makris got also involved in various theological discussions with another local scholar, Georgios Sougdouris, who succeeded him as head of the Goumas School in 1683.[3]
At 1699 he published the philosophical work Περί των τριών Αρετών Πίστεως Αγάπης και Ελπίδος (On the three Virtues: Faith, Love and Hope).[4]
