I publish an unedited epithalamium in Greek verse, composed by Dioscorus of Aphrodite (Egypt, A.D. 6th cent.) in honour of an unnamed person. In spite of the inevitable fusion of both poetical form and encomiastic rhetoric, an analysis of technical terms allows us to identify the praised bridegroom with a praeses of Thebaid. A comparison with other poems by Dioscorus permits us, if not to name him with certainty, at least to reconstitute a typical family belonging to the administrative élites of the Late Roman provinces. An annex lists the 6th century praesides of Thebaid
