| + καὶ τίς σεμνεία κοσμεῖν καὶ αγλαΐζειν· | |
| οἶδεν ὡς ἐγὼ καὶ λαμπρύνειν ἐνθέως· | |
| πρό γε γαρ πάντων ἐκεῖθεν ἐγκελεύω· | |
| ἐκσκυβαλίζειν περιττὴν πᾶσαν ὕλην· | |
| εἰ τ(ὴν) ἀπληστείαν μέθην ἀδιφαγίαν· | |
| ἀποτρέπομαι πάμπαν ἐκ τῆς τραπέζης· | |
| ἔριν δὲ κραυγὴν ἀκροχολίαν πᾶσαν· | |
| εὐτραπελίαν ὕβριν μνησικακίαν· | |
| ἀποκηρύττω καὶ νεκροὺς θελημάτων· | |
| ὡφθῆναι πείθω ἐν χ(ριστ)ῷ τοὺς ἀσκοῦντας· | |
| καὶ απαξἀπλῶς ἄπαν φαύλον ἐξάγω· | |
| καὶ ἀντεἰσάγω τῶν ἀγαθῶν τὸ πλῆθος· | |
| δι' ὧν καθαίρω τῶν ψυχῶν τὰς κηλίδας· | |
| καὶ νοῦν ἀνυψῶ καὶ πτερῶ καὶ ἀνάγω; | |
| πρὸς παράστασιν καὶ μυστηκὴν λατρείαν· | |
| τῆς προσκυνητῆς μακαρίας τριάδος· | |
| ἧς προμηθείαις εἰς τέλος φυλαχθήει· | |
| κτήτωρ ὁ ἐμὸς γερμανὸς ὁ κληνός τε· | |
| σώζοιτο σ(ῶτ)ερ εἰς ἀπείρους αἰῶνας· | |
| συν τὸ γράψαντι τλήμονη χθαμαλῶ τε:- |

| Comment | Marava-Chatzinicolaou (1997: 204): 'The epigram on fol. 193 is a kind of prologue and analysis of the text, of the Ascetic Rules of Basil the Great. It is written in the first person. The book itself, that is, Basil the Great, states that its purpose is to help monks rid themselves of their wickedness and failings and to raise up the mystic cult of the worship of the blessed Trinity, τῆς προσκυνητῆς μακαρίας Τριάδος. The donor of the codex, Germanos, and its date 1143/4, are mentioned, but the helpless and humble writer remains anonymous'. |
