Comment	Mondrain (2000: 243): 'On peut en même temps signaler que cet intérêt qu'il (i.e. Démétrios Angelos, red.) marque pour Thucydide apparaît sous un autre aspect: il a manifestement plaisir à reproduire une épigramme de l'Anthologie Palatine (IX, 583) consacrée à l'historien, dans la version qu'elle offre dans un certain nombre de manuscrits de Thucydide [(Note 49 red.) (...) Cette épigramme n'est pas présente dans tous les témoins du texte de Thucydide, mais elle figure en tout cas dans le Cantabrigiensis U. L. Kk. 5. 19'. Luard (1980: 691) gives only the incipit.
