Πρόλογος νῦν μὲν ἐγράφη παρ' ἐλπίδα,
πάλιν δὲ ἰδοὺ τὸ δεύτερον στοιχεῖον·
τὸ βήτα φημὶ καὶ δεύτερος ὁ λόγος·
ἐν ἐπιτομῆ ῥηθήσεται σὺν τούτω·
πίστις γὰρ γεννᾶ τὴν ἄλλην καὶ μεγάλην
πίστιν ὡς φασὶν οἱ ἅγιοι πατέρες·
τὴν τῶν άρετῶν θεμέλιον ὡς ἔφη
ὁ ταύτην τιθεὶς ἀπόστολος Κ(υρίο)υ·
ἡ μ(ὲν) γὰρ χωρὶς ἐργασιῶν τοῦ νόμου
γίνεται, ἡ δὲ ἐξ ἔργων τελειοῦται,
διὰ δὲ πολλῶν πολέμ(ων) κατορθοῦται·
νῦν δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν εὐλόγησον ὦ π(άτ)ερ.
