	† ἀνενδεὴς ὢν ὡς θεὸς πλαστουργέ μου :
	καὶ τὰς παρ᾽ ἡμῶν οὐκ ἀπωθεῖς θυσίας :
	δέχη δὲ ταύτας μὴ βλέπων πρὸς τὸ πλέον :
	μόνην ταλατεύων δὲ τὴν γνώμην ὅση :
	οὕτως ἐδέξω σῶτερ αἰγείας τρίχας :
	καὶ λεπτα χείρας καὶ ποτήριον κρύον :
	ὄντως τὰ μικρὰ καὶ τὰ μηδενὸς λόγου :
	ἀλλ᾽ ὤ θεωρὲ καὶ νεφρῶν καὶ καρδίας :
	τὴν πίστιν οἶδας τὴν προαίρεσιν δέχου : -
	καὶ μὴ παροψη βίβλον ἥν σοι πρὸσφέρω :
	λέων ὁ πατρίκιος και λογοθέτης : ----
	ἐν τῶ νεουργηθέντι ναῶ σοι ποθω :
	βίβλον καταρτίζουσαν εἰς θεῖον φόβον : -
	τὴν εὐσεβῆ σου καὶ σοφὴν κληρουχίαν : -
	αὐτὸς δὲ μισθὸν ἀντίδος μοι σὴν σκέπην : -
	λυτρουμένην με συμφορῶν τῶν ἐν βίω : -
	κακεί δε με γράφουσαν εἰς θείας βίβλους ·
	ἐν αῖς ἀπεγράφησαν οἱ σεσῳσμένοι : -
	Ὑμεῖς ὅσοι δὲ κλῆρος ἐστὲ κυρίου :
	τὴν παιδαγωγὸν καὶ βιωφελὴ βίβλον : -
	ταύτην ἀναπτύσσοντες ἀντιμισθείαν : -
	παιδευσεως τῆς ἔνθεν, εὐχήν μοι δότε :
	ὅρον δὲ καὶ πρόγραμμα συντηρητέον :
	ὅνπερ τίθημι τοῦτον εὐσεβεῖ κρίσει :·
	μὴ τῶν πυλῶν ἔξωθεν ἐκφέρειν ὅλως :
	τὴν βίβλον ἣν ἔθηκα ταύτην ἐκ πόθου :
	ἐν τῶ σεβαστῶ τοῦ θεοῦ τούτω δόμω :
	ὅστις δὲ τοῦτον οὐ φυλάξει τὸν λόγον :
	ἕξει παραὐτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ καί δεσπότου :
	ἀρὰν κάκωσιν καὶ πονηρὰν ἡμέραν : ---
