Maria 14's epigram was composed by Theodore the Stoudite (Theodoros 15): Theod. Stud., Epigrammata 105g. She was the daughter-in-law of Euphrosyne 3 and bore the title protospatharia (lines 2-5: σὺν Εὐφροσύνῃ καὶ Μαρίαν νῦν ἔχεις, νύμφην μὲν οὖσαν τῆσδε τῆς πατρικίας, τιμωμένην δὲ τῶν μεγίστων ἀξίᾳ τοῦ τὴν σπάθην ἐπ' ὤμων ἐν πρώτοις φέρειν; her unnamed husband was therefore a protospatharios, cf. Anonymus 571); of noble birth (line 8: εὐκλεεστάτην γένει); she died aged twenty-six, possibly after an illness lasting three years (line 10: πρὸς εἰκοσιτρεῖς ἐν τρισὶ ζωῆς χρόνοις; see Speck, Jamben, p. 281), and was interred in the same tomb as her mother-in-law.
