Ὁ μητροραίστης (καὶ) γένους ἀναιρέτης·
ὁ τοῦ διὸς φεῦ τὸν τρόπον ὑπηρέτης·
νέρων ὁ δεινὸς καὶ κατεβδελυγμένος·
ὠμῆς λεαίνης σκύμνος ἠγριωμένος·
κτείνας σύνευνον· εἶτα χ(ριστο)ῦ ποιμένος·
τὸν ἄρνα παῦλον γῆς ὅλης τὸν ποιμένα·
νῦν ἐστι βρῶμα τοῦ κυνὸς τοῦ κερβέρου:
παῦλος τρυφᾶ τρυφῆς δὲ τῆς ζωηφόρου·
φῶς τριττὸν ἁπλοῦν ὡς ὁρῶν θεαρχίας·
ἔπαθλον εὑρὼν τὴν ἄνω σκηπτουχίαν:-
