Glorious sceptre-bearer at the head of rulers,
Be charmed by the delights of these words
Rejoice in your soul, applaud gladly
And reward your servants with a generous hand.

Majesté qui portes Ie sceptre et qui es au sein de la sublimité royale, goùte les voluptés que ces écrits referment (c'est-à-dire les extraits des sermons de saint Jean Chrysostome): que ton àme s'en délecte, que tes applaudissements joyeux les accueillent et tends à tes serviteurs une main généreuse.

| Comment |
The manuscript which contains this epigram was first dedicated to Michael VII, but after his death offered to his successor Nikephoros Botaneiates (cf. Spatharakis (1976: 113-114) and Paul (2012: 94)). |
