στίχ(οι) ἰαμβικοὶ εἰς τὸν φωκιλίδην·
 
Ὁ φωκυλίδης εὐπρεπῆ ζήσας βίον·
ὡς χριστομύστης ὡς ἀποστόλος μέγας·
ὡς ἀκροατής τῶν θεοῦ θεσπισμάτων·
(καὶ) μυσταγωγὸς τῶν ἀρίστων πρακτέων·
εὐαγγελικῶς ταῦτα λαλεῖ καὶ γράφει·
εὔχρηστα τυγχάνοντα τοῖς ἐν τῷ βίῳ. +

Comment Coxe (1969: 98-99) notes that the epigram consists of six verses and refers to Bandini, Catalogus codicum manuscriptorum Bibliothecae Mediceae Laurentianae (II, 1768: 261), who published a five-verse variant of this poem based on a different ms. (see DBBE, Occurrence 19404). Hence, Coxe includes verse 4, which is missing in Bandini.
