Ἐτελειώθη σὺν θεῷ τὸ παρὸν πυκτίον
μηνὶ Μαΐῳ ιβ' ἰνδ. γ'
κύκλος ἡλίου δέκατος, σελήνης δὲ κγ'
ἐν ἔτει ϛχ τρίτῳ
διὰ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ναζιραίου καὶ ξένου
καὶ πόνημα καὶ σύγγραμμα τοὔνομα Διόπτρα·
ἄν δὲ καὶ τοὔνομα τοὐμὸν μαθεῖν ἐθέλεις φίλε,
ἰδοὺ καὶ τοῦτο γράφω σοι καὶ ψηφίσας εὑρήσεις·
ὀκτὼ γράμματα ἔχω καὶ εἰσὶν ἐκ τούτων σύμφωνα πέντε,
τρισύλλαβός εἰμι νόει με· ἡ ὑστάτη καὶ μέση
ἀνὰ τρία γράμματα ἔχει ἑκάστη, ἡ λοιπὴ δὲ τὰ λοιπὰ
τοῦ παντὸς δύο· ἀριθμός εἰσιν ἑκατοντάδες τρεῖς ἐκ τρίτου
καὶ δεκάδες δὶς τετράκις ἤγουν ὁ σύμπας· ἀριθμὸς καὶ
ψῆφος τοῦτων ϡπ.
