Comment	The epigram also occurs in the 17th-century manuscript Vat. Urb. gr. 5 (f. 58v). John Scottus Eriugena (9th c.) made a Latin translation of this book epigram; Robert Grosseteste (12th-13th c.) transliterated the epigram in Latin characters (cf. De Groot (2021: 344, 364)). The translation and the transliteration accompany their respective translations of the Corpus Dionysiacum in several manuscripts.
