Ὅπλοις κραταιοῖς ἑλκύσας ζυγῷ στίφη,
ἀνενδότους φεῦ αὐχένας κάμψας κράτει,
καταλύσας δὲ δωτίναις εἶδος ἅπαν,
ἀνδρῶν· γυναικῶν· καὶ τόπων· καὶ ταγμάτων,
νῦν εὖ νικῶν εἴργασται, ὢ σκιᾶς λάτρη·
προφητελάτοις χαλινοῖς γνόφους στρέφων,
εὖ τοῦ παθόντος τῷ νικηθῆναι λόγω·
ἄλλοις χρόνοις ἤκουσε πολλὰ πολλά σοι
τελοῖεν εὐχαῖς ἀλαλαζόντων ἔτη·
θρυλλοῖτο νῦν δὲ τοῖς ἀπείροις τῶν χρόν(ων),
ὁ στρατιώτης· ὁ στρατηγὸς ὁ βρέμων
Καντακουζηνὸς ὡς ἄναξ Ἰωάννης,
σεπτοῖς τε συζῶν ἁγίοις Ἰωάσαφ·
τάξει πάση γὰρ ἐξέλαμψεν ἐλλόγως ++.
