Eirene Aineiadissa Manasses, byzantine princess

Excellent in family, character and education, incomparable in appearance, very lovely in body but more so in soul, with the character of a man in a woman's form, best of empresses and sebastokratorissas βελτίστη βασιλίδων καὶ σεβαστοκρατορισσῶν σέβας ὁμοῦ καὶ κράτος. (Prodromos, Historische Gedichte XLIV.20-28 )

She was an enthusiast for literature, always thirsty for reading and education, always devoted to books and delighted by them; her whole life has become literature ψυχὴ ... φιλολογωτάτη, ἀεὶ διψῶσα γνώσεως καὶ λόγου καὶ παιδείας, βίβλοις ἀεὶ προστέτηκας, ἐπεντρυφᾷς τοῖς λόγοις, καὶ γίνεταί σοι τῆς ζωῆς ἅπας ὁ χρόνος λόγος. (Manasses, Chronicle 3-6 )

Richly generous ... high-born, beautiful descendent of powerful kings, shining brighter than the moon ... ὀλβιόδωρε ... ἀριστοτόκεια, νυὲ χαριτοπρόσωπε μεγασθενέων βασιλήων ... πλέον ἀστράπτουσαν ... σελήνης. (Manasses, Chronicle: Dedication 2-4 )
