(formerly occ/3737)

	ὕψιστε κριτὰ τῆς γῆς ἁπάσης·
	ὁ σάρκα λαβῶν ἐκ τῆς ἁγνῆς παρθ(ένου)·
	(καὶ) τὴν φθαρείσαν φύσιν τὴν τῶν ἀν(θρώ)πων·
	ἀνακαινίσας ὡς αὐτὸς ἠβουλήθης·
	(καὶ) τρέφης πάντας ὁ γαλακτοτροφίσ(ας)·
	σώζεις τοὺς εἰς σὲ πόθω πεπιστευκότ(ας)·
	εἶτα πάλιν νῦν δυσωπώ σε ὁ τάλας·
	ὁ τῶν ἐντολῶν ἁπασῶν σου μὴ κλέψας·
	σῶσαι φύλαττε (καὶ) σκέπε τὸν σὸν δοῦλον·
	ἱερέαν κοδουμνὴν τὸν ἐκ χανδάκου κρητ(ης):
	Τὸ κτησαμένω πόθω τὴν δέλτον ταύτην·
	Κατεύοδοσον ἐκ δεξιόν σου στῆναι·
	(καὶ) εἰσακούσειν εὐλογιμένοι δεῦτε:
	ἐγὼ δὲ πά(λιν) ὁ βεβορβορομένος·
	ὁ γράψας ταύτην μιχαὴλ ἀναγνώστης
	βοῶ σοι φωνὴν ἐκ ῥυπαρῶν χειλέων·
	τοῦ τάξαι αὐτὸν εἰς μέρος παραδείσου·
