ὁ κτήτωρ
 
ἔθελξας εὖ με τοῖσδε τοῖς θεορρύτοις·
ὑπερφερὴς πέλουσα κοσμίως λόγοις·
σεπτὴ διαμπὰξ βίβλε παμφαεστάτη:-
ταύτη προχείρως ὧν ἔφησας δογμάτων·
ῥύβδην ὑπάρξω καὶ τίσω φθόνου ἄτερ·
ἀπρὶξ λιτοῦσιν εὐθὺς εἰ βίβλον λάβω·
τιμὴν ταλαντεύουσα σοῦ τῆς εὐθύμου·
ἴσην ὅπως σέ μοι τίσουσιν εὖ μάλα:-
ὄντως γὰρ οὕτως εἰ δράσω καθὼς ἔφης.
στίφη διώξω τῶν φθορευόντων νόας·:·
