Brill's New Pauly: " P. Optatianus Porfyrius Poet and public official, 3rd/4th cents....
As a poet, P. is known primarily as the originator of so-called pattern poems (Technopaegnia). The corpus entitled Panegyricus Constantini in the MSS consists
of 27 poems and two fictitious letters, the first of which contains a dedication of the carmina to Constantinus while the second presents the emperor's reply.
These poems, today included in the genre of ‘visual poetry’, are notable in formal terms for their virtuoso design...." from Plotke, Seraina (Basle).
