After having irrigated your mind, Dionysius, with the streams of Paul,
And having desired the whole ray of the divinity of triple light,
You have offered the people the immortal splendour of the name of God.

| Comment |
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: 347, 367)). The translation and the transliteration accompany their respective translations of the Corpus Dionysiacum in several manuscripts. |
