	ἰδοῦ τὸ τέρμα εἴληφεν ὁ Μαννασῆς ἀρτίως·
	οὖτος γὰρ ἐπὀνόμαστω, ὡς ἐκ μετ᾽ ὀνυμίας,
	τοῦ ἄνωθεν πονήσαντος τὴν τοιἄνδε πυξίδα·
	ὅς ἤρξατο μὲν ἀπἀρχῆς, ἐκ τῆς κοσμοποιἴας·
	καὶ τέλος συν ἐπέρανεν, ἅχρη τοῦ Βοτανεῖτου·
	ἅπαντας τοίνυν διἐλθῶν ἐν συντομία ἔπους,
	ἐκάστω παρἠσέφερε, τὴν πρᾶξιν καὶ τὸν τρόπον·
	ἥτινες ἦρξαν ἀπαρχῆς καὶ ποῦ τὴν λῆξιν εὕρων·
	οἱ εὐσεβεῖς οἱ ἀσεβεῖς, οἱ βεβασιλευκότες·
	στυλογραφῆ δ᾽ αὗ πρώτερον γηγάντων καὶ γηπα(ί)δων·
	τῶν ἀπαἱῶνος πρότερον ὁνομαστῶν ἀν(θρώπ)ων,
	ὧν τὴν πρᾶξιν ὑπέφηνεν ἡ τοῦ Μωσέως βίβλος·
	τὸ δὲ παρὸν πυξίδιον πεπόνηται πρωδήλος,
	ἐν ἔτη παρἰππεύοντες τῶ ἠκωστῶ ὀγδόω·
	αὖθις ἑξακισχίλια πρὸς τοῖς ὠκτακοσίοις·
	τρίτον δὲ φέρον ἴνδι(κτον) ὁ περὶθέων χρώνος·
	χειρὶ γραφῆς καὶ πονηθεὶς τινὸς ἰεροθύτου·
	τοῦ συνὀνύμου χάριτος καὶ μαγουλᾶς τὴν κλῆ(σιν)·
	ἥν ἐκ πατρώθεν κέκληται καὶ φέρει ἐκ προγόνων·
	τὸ δὲ βιβλίον ἀλληθῶς, ἄλλω πρὸσἐκληρόθη·
	μάρκω τινεῖ ἀβροτίμονι ἀδαῒ ῥακἐνδύτη·
	χ(ριστ)ῶ τῶ τελειῶσαντι δόξα κράτος καί αἵνος
