	Βίβλος μὲν εἰμὶ μουσικῶν μελησμάτων
	ἐκ πλείστων συλλεγεῖσα καὶ συντεθεῖσα
	χειρὶ δεξιᾷ καὶ γνώμῃ φιλαρέτῳ,
	τοῖς σὺν φόβῳ ψάλλουσι καὶ γλιχομένοις,
	ἄπλετον εὑρεῖν λύσιν ἀμπλακημάτων.
	Ἢν γοῦν καὶ τὸν γραφέα ζητεῖς ὦ φίλος,
	Ἰωσὴφ οὗτος μοναχός τε καὶ θύτης
	ἐν ματράχοις γράψας με καὶ ὀργανώσας
	ἔτους τρέχοντος τῇ ἕκτῃ χιλιάδι
	ὀκτάκις ἑκατόν, σὺν δεκαπλῇ ὀκτάδι
	καὶ τέσσαρα συνάμα δε, Θεῷ χάρις.
