Summary/Abstract: The article aims to investigate the language of the Dioptra of Philippos Monotropos, a text written in an 11th/12th century literary Koine. An analysis of the morphology and syntax as well as the vocabulary, especially deviations from the patristic/Byzantine lexicon (archaisms and vulgarisms) and their stylistic function, is offered.
