Doesn't this come under the 'archaic' tag?

No clue... I don't know how archaic people spoke.

A typical phrase would be "possessed of great wisdom"

c.f. "O grandsire, O thou that are possessed of great wisdom, I shall ask thee a question."

Mi proponas malligi ĉi tiun frazon almenaŭ de la franca kaj rusa.
