	Τέλος τῶν σεπτῶν καὶ πανάγνων ἀσμάτων·
	σύριγγος ἡδὺς δαβιτικῶν ὀργάνων·
	σάλπιγξ πνουρότητος προφητικῶν χρισμάτων,
	χρηστορητοβροντόφθογγος θείας φωνὰς ἡχοῦσα,
	εἰς οὐρανοὺς ἀνάγουσα ψυχὰς τῶ ταύτης ἤχω,
	οὐ(ρα)νοδρόμος τοιγαροῦν πέλει λοιπὸν ὡς θέμις
	ἡ πάγκαλος καὶ πάντερπνο(ς) θεόπνευστος ψαλτῆρα.
	ὁ μουσικὸ(ς) καὶ εὔλαλος τ(ῆς) ἐκκλησί(ας) τέτυξ,
	/αἱδονηλιγυραὶ καὶ καλλικελαδοῦσα,
	ἡ κηταροφωνόφθογγος ὄρνη τῆς ἐκκλησί(ας),
	ἡ πάντοτε προάγουσα καὶ/ προοδοποιοῦσα
	ἔνπροσθεν πάσης τῆς γραφῆς ἐν τε εὐαγγελίοις
	(καὶ) ἀποστόλοις καὶ σεπτοῖς (καὶ) θείοις ποιηταῖσιν
	ὡς ἐφόρος ὀπρωὶ τὴν ἔκφασιν μηνύ(ως)
	ὁ χρυσομαργαλόπλοκος κόσμος τῆς ἐκκλησίας,
	ἡ ἐν νυξὶν π(αν)σέληνο(ς) ταύτη αὐγὴ καὶ ὄρθρο(ς)
	καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις ἥλιο(ς) θερμὸ(ς) καὶ ἀκτινοβόλος,
	ἀστραπηφόρο(ς) καυστηρὰ κ(α)τ(ὰ) πνευμάτ(ων).
