| Context |
Marcus is sarcastic about the Greek panegyrists. encomiographos istic audimus, Graecos scilicet, sed miros mortales, ut ego, qui a Graeca litteratura tantum absum quantum a terra Graecia mons Caelius meus abest, tamen me sperem illis conparatum etiam Theopompum aequiperare posse. sum quantum a terra Graecia mons Caelius meus abest, tamen me sperem illis conparatum etiam Theopompum aequiperare posse |

TLL only cites this example. Good candidate for c-s. Patrick James: Epigraphy (usually with spelling ἐνκ-) points to a role in an imperial (era) festival. ἐγκωμιαστής is first reported for imperial Greek, Strabo, etc. ἐγκωμιολόγος also epigraphic. |
