Πρώτιστον ᾆσμα τῷ θεῷ μελωδέει
λύσαντι τὰς κλεῖς τῶν νεκρῶν καὶ τὰς πέδας
Ἰωάννης φέριστος ἐκ Δαμασκόθεν,
οὗ πᾶσιν ἀνάστασιν ἡ χάρις λέγει.

Comment The epigram occurs in the 15th-century manuscript Athos, Mone Iberon 159 (f. 64v), where it does not function as a book epigram.
This poem might, however, have functioned as a paratext, but there is no evidence of paratextuality so far.
