| Comment | Mazzucchi (1995: 254-255) identifies the author as Niketas Choniates. Bértola (2021: 42) is more cautious: "Nothing invites the rejection of the postulated authorship of Niketas Choniates, but there is not enough evidence either to accept it without prudent hesitation." The epigram addresses the author of a previous annotation. It refers to the arrival of the fleet of the Crusaders to Constantinople in June 1203. Text of Mazzucchi (1995: 208) modified by DBBE. |
