	Μυθικὴ βίβλος ἐξ ἰνδικῆς σοφίας
	προσενεχθεῖσα πρὸς περσικὴν παιδείαν,
	αἰνιγματωδῶς συντείνουσα τὰς πράξεις
	πρὸς βιωτικὴν συντείνουσα τὰς πράξεις
	ἧ μεταβληθεῖσα πρὸς γλῶτταν τῶν Ἑλλήνων
	ἐξ ἀραβικοῦ καὶ βαρβαρώδους ὕθλου
	παρὰ τοῦ σοφοῦ, ἐνδόξου καὶ μεγάλου,
	τοῦ καὶ ἀμηρᾶ καὶ ῥηγὸς Σικελίας
	Καλαβρίας τε, πρίγκυπος Ἰταλίας,
	οὕσπερ εὑρηκὼς ὡς γνωστικοὺς τοῖς πᾶσιν
	τοῦτο δέδωκε πρὸς ἡμᾶς τὸ βιβλίον
	ὥσπερ δώρημα διδασκαλίας πλέον,
	εὐγενὴς Εὐγένιος ὁ τῆς Πανόρμου.
