In this article, we present a colophon epigram found in the manuscript Napoli, Biblioteca Nazionale, gr. II C 33. We edit the text, provide a translation and commentary and supply it with a thorough metrical analysis. Throughout the article, we investigate whether the scribe meant this colophon to be one text or three separate texts. By doing so, we will touch upon broader issues, such as Byzantine metrics in general and the Byzantine habit of compiling texts from an antiquarian perspective.

This article offers an overview of the book epigrams in the manuscripts of Ps.-Dionysiusthe Areopagite. lt explores which epigrams regularly occur in these manuscripts andwhich ones are rather exceptional, with special attention to the relationship between thepoems and the main texts of the Corpus Areopagiticum. Equally, it argues for the importanceof studying the epigrams within their manuscript context. As such, the findings areconnected to and supported by the methodology of the so-called New or Material Philology.Lastly, the article offers incentives to study the reception of Ps.-Dionysius throughthe book epigrams preserved next to the very texts.
