Comment On the authorship of this cycle of poems, see Bady (2021: 221-223).
The epigram occurs in Par. gr. 1630 (f. 221bisr), where it does not function as a book epigram. Both manuscripts in which this cycle of metrical titles to the Psalms functions as a book epigram - Vat. gr. 342 and Athos Pantokrat. 234 - omit this title to Psalm 94.
