	+ ἐκ δογμάτων τὸ μεῖζον ὕψους τῶν βίβλων·
	ἐκ ῥημάτων τὸ πλεῖον ὥρας καὶ τέχνης·
	ἄμφω φερουσῶν κλῆσις οὗ θεῖοι λόγοι·
	δοὺς καὶ τὸν ἐκτὸς κόσμον ἐκ τῶν πραγμάτων·
	ὁ πατρίκιος εὐσεβὴς νικηφόρος·
	τῶι φιλοτίμω τοῦ πόθου καὶ τοῦ τρόπου.
	μᾶλλον τὸ νικᾶν ἐμπαρέσχε ταῖς βίβλοις·
	ἃς δῶρον ὥς τι τῶ πλάσαντι προσφέρων·
	πλουτεῖ μὲν αὐτὸς τὰς ἐκεῖθεν ἐλπίδας·
	πρὸς τῆ λυτρώσει τῶν σφαλέντων ἐν βίω·
	εὐδοκία δὲ προξενεῖ τῆ συζύγω·
	μνήμην ἀνεξάλειπτον ἐκ γῆς ἠρμένη·
