Comment	Written in almost correct dactylic verse. This poem closely resembles another epigram in honour of Ps.-Dionysius the Areopagite with the following incipit: 'Ἀγγελικῶν γραφίδων ἀμαρύγματα πολλὰ κιχήσας'. It has the same metre, the same length and the same content as this poem. The epigram also occurs in the 17th-century manuscript Vat. Urb. gr. 5 (f. 205r).
