Τοῦ Δόξα πατρὶ τῆς βίβλου πίναξ πέλω
γεγραμμένην ἔχουσα τὴν ἱστορίαν
Ἀδὰμ θεουργοῦ δευτέρου πλαστουργέτου,
καὶ τῆς κατ' αὐτὸν σαρκικῆς πανολβίας
ζωῆς ἀγαθῆς καὶ πολιτείας ἅλις,
κεφαλαιώδη προφέρουσα τῆ βίβλῳ
τὴν ἱστορίαν τοῦ θεανθρώπου λόγου.

Comment Vassis (2005: 791), based on Miller (1886: 30), refers to John Doxopatres. The epigram, however, seems to accompany the work of Neilos Doxopatres, see, for instance, De Vos (2011: 245-246).

The poem occurs in the 16th-century manuscript Madrid Biblioteca Nacional 4591 (f. 1r) (cf. Miller 1886: 29-56). Yet, according to De Vos (2011: 245, n. 1; 246-248), the epigrams in this late manuscript are copied from a lost 13th-century manuscript from Messina.
