Edit ProfileCareer
He is first mentioned as a deacon in 1181, and died in the Despotate of Epirus sometime after 1222. According to Alexander Kazhdan, his "rhetorical works are very conventional", with only the monody on the death of his father displaying a personal tone, "describing both family characteristics and, tenderly, Demetrios"s death".
