| Palaeographical information | The main text of the codex was transcribed in the 9th-10th c. The epigram was added by a 13th-century (?) user of the manuscript (whose name, Basileios, is mentioned in this epigram, as well as in other two present on the same page; one of these epigrams, Occurrence 28657, reveals his full name as Basileios Botaneiates). The epigram is written without distinction in verses and occupies three lines, using the full width of the ruled area. The script appears to be under the influence of the Fettaugenmode, with some particularly exuberant elements, like the descender of the lambda in δούλον, which goes through both following lines. Apart from the salient heart-shaped betas, one should mention the conspicuous decorative triple loop in the lower part of the first letter of χ(ριστ)έ. |
| Contextual information | The epigram is copied in a blank verso, while the recto of the same spread contains the beginning of John Chrysostom's In Ioannem. The epigram appears among other short texts added by the same and by other three-four hands (prayers; beginning of a hymn; a paraphrase of the beginning of Chrysostom's text starting in the next page). |
