MAXIMUS PLANUDES: IAMBIC VERSES ON SAINT MARCIANUS AND MARTYRIUS AND ON THE CHURCH OF SAINT ANDREW
Having woven together others from the beginnings into one, From which I was brought to birth and knew the light, Having obtained this as a myriad-fold gift of God, And named as well Theodora, For I shared in the portion of my father, to speak briefly, Born of the race of the John Cantacuzenos, Of the Komnenian line, named after the Angels, He whom Ioannikios was called [as one] of the monastics, Having adapted all [things] to the habit. He was the famous grandson of that John, Who traced his tribe back to the Angels, And was joined to the power of the Sebastoi, Whom Theodora leads forth to the light, The purple-born daughter, rightfully, of Alexios, The Great Komnenian sovereign. My mother, however, the boast of all mothers, Was the Komnenian and Palaiologina, An Irenic [Peace-making] one, Irene by name, Being of the same blood as the king Michael Palaiologos the Komnenos, save that A That one was seen as a greater ornament in power, Than the entire power of her kinsman. I called this woman, from the monastic habit, Eulogia, as one worthy of the blessing. She was the grand-daughter of the despot Alexios Of the Palaiologan line descending from the race, 1178 And of the Empress Irene; she again, the latter, Bloomed from the father, the genuine Alexios, Wielding the scepter from the lineage of the Angels— These are my glories then, of father and of mother. If one must also speak truly of [my] spouse, This man was the Komnenos Raoul John, The pride of the Doukai, an Angel, a Petraliphas, Who took as a worthy reward of virtue, From the ruling powers, the [title of] protovestiarios, Drawing from thence, on the father’s and mother’s side, The root of the race, and every grace, Whence my parents also drew their lineage. He was the nephew of this, the son of the Doukas King John, also called Vatatzes.
