| Comment | Dain (1968: 125): 'Cette pièce, qui n'est qu'un envoi d'éditeur ou de copiste, est évidemment la plus récente des trois épigrammes et est peut-être très postérieure aux deux autres. On peut songer comme destinataire à tout empereur du nom de Léon — de Léon III l'Isaurien à Léon VI le Sage'. |
