Ὁ γραφεὺς ταπεινὸς Θεόδω(ρος) ὁ Ἁγιοπετρίτης
 
Ὥσπερ ξένοι χαίρουσιν ἰδεῖν πατρίδα,
καὶ οἱ θαλαττεύοντες εὑρεῖν λιμένα,
καὶ οἱ στρατευόμενοι [ἰδεῖν τὸ νῖκος]
καὶ οἱ πραγματευόμενοι [ἰδεῖν τὸ κέρδος]
οὕτω καὶ οἱ γράφοντες ἰδεῖν βιβλίου τέλος.

Palaeographical information The text cannot be seen now, since it has been erased. It can only be seen under UVA.
The name ''Ὁ γραφεὺς ταπεινὸς Θεόδω(ρος) ὁ Ἁγιοπετρίτης'' is possibly a result of forgery. See Soteroudes (1998: 58).
Nelson (1991: 95-96) advises caution in classifying the entire manuscript as 'forgery', suggesting that the codex may have been produced in Theodore's workshop, in collaboration with his apprentice copyist.
