	ἐνιστορήσας τούς σοφοὺς διδασκάλους,
	καὶ τὸν θεοδώριτον αὐτοῖς συγγράφω·
	ὡς ἄνδρα θεῖον· ὡς διδάσκαλον μέγαν·
	ὡς ἀκράδαντον ὀρθοδοξί(ας) στύλον·
	ἄν δ᾽ ἐκλονήθη μικρὸν ἔκ τινος τύχης,
	ἄν(θρωπ)ος ἦν· ἄν(θρωπ)ε μὴ κατακρίνης·
	οὐ γὰρ τοσοῦτον δυσσεβὴς ἦν ὁ κλόνος.
	ὅσον μετεῖχε τῆς ἐριστικῆς βίας·
	τὶ γὰρ κύριλλον πανταχοῦ νικᾶν ἔδει·
	καὶ δογματιστὴν ὄντα καὶ λογογράφον·
	ὅμως δὲ τούτω καὶ διόρθωται πάλιν·
	τὰ δ᾽ ἄλλα πάντα τῶν μεγίστων ποιμέν(ων)
	βλέπων τὸν ἄνδρα μηδανὸς λελειμμέν(ον),
	ἐνταῦθα τούτοις εἰκότως συνεγγράφω:-
