·:· Ὁ κτήτωρ ·:·
 
Ἔθελξας εὖ με τοῖσδε τοῖς θεορρύτοις·
Ὑπερφερὴς πέλουσα κοσμίως λόγοις·
Σεπτὴ διαμπὰξ βίβλε παμφαεστάτη·
Ταύτη προχείρως ὧν ἔφησας δογμάτων·
Ῥύβδην ὑπάρξω κ(αὶ) τίσω φθόνου ἄτερ·
Ἀπρὶξ λιτοῦσιν εὐθὺς εἰ βίβλον λάβω:
Τιμὴν ταλαντεύουσαν σοῦ τῆς εὐθύμου·
Ἴσην ὅπως σέ μοι τίσουσιν εὖ μάλα·
Ὄντως γὰρ οὕτως εἰ δράσω καθὼς ἔφης.
στίφη διώξω τῶν φθορευόντ(ων) νόας ·:·
