Τὴν γλῶσσαν, ὡς μάκαιραν ἠκονημένην
ἔχων, Μάξιμε, κατατέμνεις τὴν πλάνην
μονοθελητῶν εὐσθενῶς τῶν ἀπρόνων
οἳ γλῶσσαν ἐκτεμνοῦσι σὴν μεμῃνότες
μετὰ τομὴν ᾄδουσαν ἐνθέους λόγους.

Comment The text of the epigram refers to Maximus the Confessor's dispute with Pyrrhus. In 638 the emperor Heraclius (575-641) issued a religious decree (Ekthesis) in favour of the theory of monothelism. The dispute between the two theologians took place in Chartage in 645. In the end, Pyrrhus declared himself defeated by Maximus.
