Book XV, 15: On the Crucifix he Dedicated at Lindos
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
ConsTantinus, the son of Joannes and Eudocia, made me, this noble cross; he whom proud Lindos bore, the foremost man of the former generation, and the faithful servant of the Emperor Leo, associated with whom his brother Alexander and his son Constantine bore the God-supported sceptres of the kingdom.
