Ἀκροστιχὶς ζαχαρίου πατριάρχου.
 
Ζωῆς θησαυρὸς ὑποκεῖται ἐνταῦθα.
Ἁγίων πατρῶν ἐνάρεστοι βίοι,
χεῖρα ὀρέγοντες τοῖς κάτω κειμένοις.
Ἀγὼν δὲ τοῦτο ὑπάρχει γρηγορίου,
Ῥέθρα βλύσαι τῶν ἐνθέων διδαγμάτων,
ἱλαρὸς προσιὼν τῷ λόγῳ τοῖς πᾶσιν.
Οὗτος δὲ πρῶτος τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ,
Ὑπάρχει τῆς ῥωμαίων πόλεως πάπας.
Πόθῳ δὲ θείῳ καὶ ἐναρέτῳ ζήλῳ
Ἀγόμενος ὁ πάνσοφος ζαχαρίας,
Τοῦ κορυφαίου πέτρου κοσμῶν τὸν θρόνον,
Ῥῶσιν ψυχῆς καὶ αὐτὸς παρέχειν θέλων,
Ἰωσὴφ ἄλλος ἄρτι ὁς ἀνεδείχθη,
Ἄρτον ζωῆς σιτοδοτίσας τῷ κόσμῳ.
Ῥωμαίων τῇ γλώττῃ τὸ πρότερον ὄντα
Χ(ῥιστο)ῦ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦτον κεκοιμηκότος,
Ὅλην τὴν βίβλον ἑλληνικῇ γλώττῃ
Ὑφηγήσας τοῖς πᾶσιν ἑρμηνεύς.
