| Transcription different from ICVR. Elegiac distichs. 8. Reading by Diehl, ILCV ad loc. cit, who suggests also 'gratia' , instead of 'spatia' (maybe that's better). Diehl, ad loc. cit., identifies in 'antistes Iohannis' quoted in the text, two popes with this name in VI cent., that is Iohannis II (532-535) or Iohannis III (561-574). But we have to consider also Iohannis I (523-526) (Felle). |
