Matrona de Perge: un fragmento de himno atribuido a Romano Melodo

: This article aims to examine part of the bibliography about women’s hagiography and the cross-dressed women saints, by trying to define the requirements that these women must follow, according to the Byzantine standards of the time. On this basis, this essay will focus on the figure of Matrona of Perge, a saint with a very limited literary-hagiographical dossier, recovering one of her hymns, which is omitted by most of the studies on the area. For the first time, this text is translated into a modern language, being analysed and commented, and highlighting the present topics.
