Why this is in the register

A verse treatise in iambic trimeters addressed to Seleucus, transmitted with Amphilochius's other works. HOLLIS holds the Greek text as 'Iambi ad Seleucum' (1969, gre) and no English version (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Amphilochius&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 the only modern translation is French, in Sources chrétiennes 553 ('lettre à Séleucos', vol. 2 of the Homélies, 2012, fre;grc;syr — https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Sources%20chretiennes%20Amphiloque&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 NPNF ser. 2 vols 5, 7 and 8 contain no Amphilochius (https://ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf208/npnf208.toc.html). The poem is not in First1KGreek: the local catalogue /srv/christian-corpus/f1k/catalog.json holds no Amphilochius entry.

No open Greek e-text was located; PG 39 is cited at volume level (The archive.org item is cited at volume level: it is the Migne volume for this author (PG volume-to-author mapping: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrologia_Graeca), but the work's exact place in the volume was not verified page by page.). The poem is sometimes printed with Gregory of Nazianzus's iambic poems, so a reader may also need PG 37.
