+στίχοι εἰς τὸν μέγαν φωστῆρα (καὶ) διδάσκαλον τ(ῆς) ἐκκλησίας, τὸν χρυσόστομον:-
 
+ὦ τοῦ λόγου θάλασσα μὴ μετρουμένη·
εἰς ἀχανὲς φθάνουσα τῆς γραφῆς πλάτος·
καὶ νῦν χεθεῖσα μέχρι καὶ ψαλμῶν βάθους,
πληροῦσα πάντα· καὶ μέχρι καὶ πυθμένος
θεωρίας τὲ τοῦς ἀποκρύφους τόπους,
φαίνουσα λευκοὺς ἐν βυθῶ (καὶ) μαργάρους,
τῶ διαφανεῖ τῆς σαφηνείας λόγῳ.
πίνοιμί σου θάλασσα τὸ γλυκὺ χύμα,
κἂν ἐκφλέγης τὸ δίψος, οὐχὶ σβεννύ(ης),
πόθῳ ζέοντι σῶν λογογραφημάτων:+
Type(s) [2585] Ὦ τοῦ λόγου θάλασσα μὴ μετρουμένη (10 verses)
