Comment	Even though this epigram and type 1863 (cf. related types) have an almost identical text, we created two separate types, because "the two types have a different textual transmission as well as a different function within the manuscripts" (De Groot (2021: 64)). Both John Scottus Eriugena (9th c.) and John Sarrazin (12th c.) made a Latin translation of this book epigram; Robert Grosseteste (12th-13th c.) transliterated the epigram in Latin characters (cf. De Groot (2021: 342, 355, 359)). These translations and the transliteration accompany their respective translations of the Corpus Dionysiacum in several manuscripts.
