Ὡς εὖγε τούτοις ἀστικῶν τυρβασμάτων
πόρρω τελοῦσι καὶ γλυκὺν ζῶσι βίον
ἤθους ἐν ἁπλότητι φιλελευθέρου,
φεύγουσι τὰ πάναγρα τὰ τῆς διπλόης.

Translation(s)
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."
