:στίχοι εἰς τὸν εὐαγγελιστὴν ἰωάνν(ην) τὸν θεολόγο(ν):
 
Ὁ παρθένος, τί· τὸν τεκόντα τὸν κάτω:
Λιπὼν τεκόντα τὸν θ(εὸ)ν κτᾶται μόνον:
Ὡς παρθένος γὰρ πρὸ(ς) τὸν ἐκ τῆς παρθένου:
Καλοῦντα χ(ριστό)ν οἷα συγγενὴς τρέχη:
Ἐντεῦθεν εἰς τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ γνησίως:
Πεσὼν, ἐκεῖθεν τὴν ἄβυσσον λαμβάνει:
Τῆς γνώσεως· κ(αὶ) πάντα πλουτεῖ τὸν κόσμ(ον):
Μυστηρί(ων) ἄγνωστα καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις:
Θεηγόροις τέταρτος οὖν ἰωάννης:
Εὐαγγελισταῖς· ἀλλʹ ἐν ὕψει δογμάτων:
Πρῶτος μέγιστος ἄκρος ἀρχὴ καὶ τέλος:~
