Young (1908: 350): 'On f. 40, 7 v°. are seven rubricated lines of Greek verse (in a XIV.-XV. Cent. hand)'. |
| Contextual information |
The epigram is preceded by a title, in black ink, added by a certain Falconius: 'Exastichum est hoc epigramma: exametro pentametroque constans: | et pulcherrimam profecto de hominum uita pensitationem continens: +'.
The text is followed by one more epigram, inc. 'Σεῖο πολυκλήεντα τύπον στῆσαντο χερωνεῦ'. |

| Comment |
Young (1908: 350) states that the epigram counts 'seven rubricated lines of Greek verse). However, the related type counts only six lines, as we expect for a poem in elegiac couplets. |
