Almost identical similar entry in ps.-
Zonaras, but see n. 2 below.

[1] Favuzzi [cited under
alpha 1990] 55-56 points out the similarities between this and
Diodorus Siculus 21.4.1, on
Agathocles; there the key noun appears to be
a)ggeliafo/ron ("news-carrier"), but it is only a modern conjecture.
[2] The corresponding entry in ps.-
Zonaras (and another one generated by it) makes it clear that the point being made concerns spelling:
bibliaphoros, not
bibliophoros. (Even so, 'every writing' is an odd expression.)
