Comment This is a variant of an epigram that is frequently repeated in this manuscript (inc. 'Σύ, τῷ μοναχῷ καὶ κατηχητῇ, λόγε,') and that alternates with another poem (inc. 'Ἀρρωγὸς αὐτὸς τῷ κεκτημένῳ, λόγε'). In this occurrence, we read γραφεῖ βίβλου instead of the usual κατηχητῆ. The variant preserved on this folio has been copied many times in ms. Athens EBE 204.
