It is nearly impossible to place this peculiar poem within the archives. Although it has been ascribed to Egderus, there is no evidence to support doing so. However, there does seem to be a similarity of tone between this writing and the proverb-like Writing known as The Remnant Say... — hence its provisional placement here.

(See also the legomenon for {The Remnant Say...} concerning the symbol "‡".)

However, the radical conjecture has also been made that both of these "Rhapsodies of the Remnant" were actually composed by none other than the Good Doctor. See scholion on "I may not be the first" in the Historian's Notebook.
