Je suis ne a Constantinople vers 950 apres J.-C. Je ne connais pas le nom exact de mon pere, meme si je n'ignore pas que bien des hommes ont contribue, d'une maniere ou d'une autre, a ma naissance. Je sais en revanche qui etait ma mere: un animal (une genisse, une brebis, ou une chevre) qui, a sa mort, a donne aux hommes sa tendre peau afin que mes nombreux peres puissent ecrire a sa surface, chacun a l'aide de son stylet a la pointe de metal trempee dans une encre plus ou moins foncee tiree de la noix de galle, les textes fort precieux que j'ai portes en moi jusqu'a votre epoque, a vous qui venez a peine de commencer a lire l'histoire de ma vie. Je suis un manuscrit, vous l'aurez compris - plus precisement, le manuscrit qui contient l'Anthologie palatine, un recueil d'epigrammes.
