	Ταύτην τὴν βίβλον τὴν ἱερὰν καὶ θείαν
	τὴν ὁλόγλυκον καί καλῶς γεγραμμένην,
	ἣν ἐκόσμησεν ἡ τετρακτὺς τῶν θείων
	ἀποστόλων τε καί σοφῶν διδασκάλων,
	Ἰωάννου τέ φημι τοῦ θεολόγου
	ἅμα Ματθαίῳ καὶ Λουκᾷ καὶ τῷ Μάρκῳ,
	οἳ ἐσάφησαν τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ Θεοῦ μου
	τήν τε γέννησιν καὶ τὴν βάπτισιν
	τὴν περιτομὴν καὶ τὰ θαύματα πάντα,
	τὰ παθήματα καὶ τὴν ἔγερσιν τούτου,
	Λουκᾶς ὁ πανευτελὴς σὺν Νικολάῳ
	καὶ καθηγουμένῳ τε μονῆς τῆς Πέτρας
	ταύτην καλλωπίσαντες ὡς εὐποροῦντες.
	Ἔχειν δὲ καὶ σὲ τὴν ἄχραντον παρθένον
	τοῦ πρεσβεύειν ἐκτενῶς ὑπὲρ σῶν δούλων,
	τοῦ τυχεῖν τῆς στάσεως τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν προβάτων
	καὶ ἀπόλαυσιν τῆς Χριστοῦ βασιλείας.
