	ἡ τῶν ἑπιστολῶν ὑπόθεσις διὰ ἰάμβων·

	Ὁ παῦλος ὁ ἄυλος ἐκ τῶν πραγμάτ(ων).
	ἣ γραμμάτων πέφηνε τῆ διαστάσει·
	τὸ πὶ γὰρ αἴρων. τοῦτο γνώση ῥαδίως.
	μάλιστα προσσχὼν οἷς βιοῦς, ἦν (καὶ) γράφω(ν)·
	ἣ παῦλον, αὐλὸν τοῦ παρακλήτου λέγε·
	Ἄρον τὸ πρῶτον γράμμα (καὶ) τόνον τέλει
	ἐνθεὶς, διαγνῶς πν(εύματο)ς τοῦτον λύραν,
	ὡς ὄργανόν τε τῆς θεοῦ μουσουργίας·
	Ὡς δάκτυλος γὰρ τοῦτον ἡ θεία χάρις
	περικροτοῦσα καὶ δονοῦσα τὴν κτίσιν,
	εἵλκυσεν ἐξήγειρε πρὸς εὐπιστίαν·
	δι' ἧς, τὸ σωσίκοσμον ἤχησε μέλος·
