The best candidate I could find in an hour of online research was 
"colophon".  This is the term used today for an account of the making 
of the book, such as the designer, the type selected, the paper and 
printing process chosen, the binder, and so forth.  As in "written by 
Lucius on papyrus of Riverland with reed pen".

I thought this was just Wolfe being playful with the way he provides 
a fictional providence for the work.  Lucius has a vague notion that 
he should be writing something like what I just suggested, only he 
can't remember any of the facts he should set down.  Anyhow, the 
story isn't over just because the book is done.  I think we're being 
set up for a sequel in Babylonia.

Of course, at the end of _Soldier of Arete_ I thought we were going 
to have a sequel in Phoenicia, but Wolfe skipped over that and merely 
gave us Phoenicians.
