Abstract:
This article presents the inscriptions accompanying thefounder's scene published by P. A. Vocotopoulos in the present volume. There are three fragmentary inscriptions fromthe same hand (Figs 1-4), executed in the xerography technique, with the result that many of the letters are now missing, making it difficult to achieve a secure, complete restoration of the texts.The two inscriptions at the edges accompany and identifythe despots of Epiros, Nikephoros I Komnenos AngelosDoukas (Fig. 1) and his second wife Anna Palaiologina (Fig.2). The largest inscription (Figs 2-4), between the couple, isa verse text of twenty iambic lines referring to a representation of the Virgin and the four persons of the family of thedespot depicted - the couple and their two youngest children, the princess Thamar and the prince Thomas. Thepainting is dated to summer 1294.
