Gregory of Nazianzus

4th century AD (Paton’s date)


Gregory of Nazianzus is one of the epigrammatists whose short poems were gathered in the Greek Anthology. Paton's index of authors dates the poet to 4th century AD.

This archive carries the 2 epigrams ascribed to the poet in the first volume of W. R. Paton's prose translation (Books I–VI) (Book I: 92, 93), and now also the epigrams of Book VIII, “The Epigrams of Saint Gregory the Theologian”, in the second volume (Books VII–XII), 258 pieces in all, since Paton numbers four of them as 10a, 52a, 67a and 85a.
