Greek
Dionysius of Alexandria · c. 190 – c. 265
An answer to Egyptian millenarians, arguing on grounds of vocabulary, grammar, and style that whoever wrote Revelation cannot be the man who wrote the fourth gospel — the one writes flawless Greek and never names himself, the other names himself constantly and writes barbarously.

1 work
c. 850–900
Old English
Cynewulf
Four poems — Elene, Juliana, The Fates of the Apostles, and Christ II — each with the poet's name spelled out in runes woven into the closing lines, where he asks readers to pray for him and describes his fear of judgement.
