	Ἐτελειὦθει συν θ(ε)ῶ καὶ τὸ παρὸν πτυκτί(ον)
	Τὸ πόνημα τὸ σύγγραμμα ἠ εὑτελὴς διὄπτρα
	Δια χεἰρὸς ἀμαρτωλοῦ μοναχοῦ τὲ κ(αὶ) ξένου
	Μηνὶ μαίω δῶδεκα ἰνδικτιῶνο(ς) τρίτης
	Κύκλος σελεῖνης δέκατο(ς) ἠλίου εἰκὰς τρίτι

	Αν δε το ὄνομα τ’οὐμ(ὸν) μαθ(εῖν) ἐθέλης φίλε
	Ιδοὺ (καὶ) τοῦτο γράφο σοι (καὶ) ψιφήσας εὐρίσ(ης)·

	Ψίφος τοῦτ(ων), ἐννακο(ς) ὁγδωἤκωντα·
