Verses on the Ladder, by the writer, on behalf of him [±8], showing this book as a spiritual garden. You, reader of these verses, pray for their composer. When you complete this request from him, he will gratefully offer you his own prayer, which is to unify with Christ, through Christ and to be together with you and to rejoice at His coming glory forever and ever, amen. Yes, my brother, you who come into contact with this book, do so, because of him who said: “Pray for one another”. I beg you, I entreat you, I implore you. For why would it be difficult or wearied or hurtful for you, when you open this book and when you close it, to say immediately: “My Christ, save the scribe”? Except for that, I do not seek for anything else. But if by forgetfulness you do not say so, may God forgive you.) (cf. Meesters - Ricceri (2018: 312-313)) Some words are written in the margin of this epigram as reading guides, mentioning the topics of the subsections of the text. (cf. Meesters - Ricceri (2018: 295)) The poem is followed by another epigram, inc. 'Ψήγματα χρυσᾶ τοῖς Λυδοῖς αἱρεῖ λόγος'. |
