	Πνευματικοῖς λόγοις ἤρδευσε τ(ὸν) κόσμον
	Ἐφραὶμ ὁ κλεινὸς κ(αὶ) πολὺς ἐν τοῖς θείοις
	Οὗ τὰ πονήματα ὃς συλλέξαι θελήσῃ
	Οὐχ οἷος τʹ ἔσται, καὶ γὰρ ἀπέιρως ἔχει.
	Ἀλλʹ ὦ φωτιστὰ τοῦ νοῦ, καὶ δότερ λόγου
	Ἰησοῦ χριστὲ, θεὲ καὶ σῶτερ φωτῶν.
	Αὐτοῦ προσευχαῖς, καὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων
	Δὸς ἡμῖν ποιεῖν ἅπερ καὶ μελετῶμεν·
	Ἵνα μὴ διπλῶς ἐκεῖ τιμωρηθῶμεν.
	Μνήσθητι κύριε τοῦ γράψαντος ἁμαρτωλοῦ Ἰωνᾶ.
