Συγγραφεύς· φησὶν ὁ μέγας Μάξιμος, ὅτι ὁ λόγους συγγραφόμενος ἢ πρὸς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ὑπόμνησιν συγγράφεται ἢ πρὸς ὠφέλειαν ἑτέρων, ἢ καὶ ἄμφω· ἢ πρὸς βλάβην τινῶν ἢ πρὸς ἐπίδειξιν ἢ ἐξ ἀνάγκης.

Notes (3)
- For the unglossed headword -- which does not feature in the body of the entry -- see also sigma 1283 (plural), and cf. sigma 1284.
- 1This refers to Maximus the Confessor (C6-7 CE). See further below. ↩
- 2Adler prints
o( lo/gous suggrafo/menos ["he who composes logoi"] here, while reporting that ms F (Laurentianus 55) readso( lo/gos suggrafo/menos . The source for F is most likely Maximus the Confessor, Chapters on Love 2.94 (see next note). The present translation therefore follows F. ↩ - 3The source (with slight discrepancy) is the closing remarks on Severus of Antioch (c. 465-538) in George the Monk, Chronicon 459.20-23 (= Maximus the Confessor, Chapters on Love 2.94). For the full entry on Severus, see Chronicon 452.15-459.23; and cf. sigma 271. ↩
