Description
The present paper investigates, using the indexing facilities of the TLG, the genuineness of the little fragment titled testamentum ad cives attributed to Epiphanios of Salamis. With the help of the TLG, words and expressions occurring in the testamentum are compared to the contents of other works written by or attributed to Epiphanios. The conclusion is that this particular text does not seem be a product of the pen of Epiphanios. On the basis of the testimony of John of Damaskos, it is tentatively suggested that the testamentum is a forgery of the early Iconoclasm (726 - c. 750).
