	Τοῦ πν(εύματο)ς τὰ θεῖα τόξα (καὶ) βέλη,
	τείνας ὁ δα(υι)δ ψαλμοκινεῖτω λύρα:
	ἅπασαν ὄντως πρὸ(ς) βολὴν μὲν δαιμ(ό)ν(ων):
	βάλλει τιτρώσκει (καὶ) διώκει (καὶ) τρέπει:
	πιστῶν δὲ πᾶσαν, πρὸ(ς) θ(εὸ)ν πτεροῖ φρέν(αν):
	καὶ τῶν χαμερπῶν ἐξιστᾶ φροντίδα:
	πρὸς τὴν ἐν ἔργοις ψυχικὴν σ(ωτη)ρίαν,
	δαυιτικὴ πέφυκα δέλτος ἀσμάτων:
	φέρουσα τῶ γράψαντι φέρτατον κλέ(ως),
	θεόγραφον χάριν δὲ τῶ κεκτημ(έν)ω:
	(...)αὶ μ(αν)θάνουσιν εὐκλεᾶ τὴν καρδίαν,
	καὶ τοὺς βλέπουσιν ἐνθεεστάτ(ους) νό(ας):
	ψάλλουσι δι' ἅσμα πν(εύματος) χορηγίαν,
	δῶρον θ(εο)ῦ πέφυκεν ἀν(θρώπ)οις ξένοις:
	ἡ τοῦ (μοναχ)ου ψαλμικῆ μελωδία,
	μετατρέπουσα τῶν παθῶν τα θηρία:
	ἡ τῶν φρενῶν δε ποικίλη κακουργία,
	ταῦτη προσεγγίσασα τῆ συμφωνία:
	ῥᾶον κατεπρήνηξε τ(ὴν) ἀταξίαν,
	ἱστῶσα τὴν νόησιν εἰς θεωρίαν:
	ὃς οῦν μετέσχε τῆσδε τῆς εὐγλωττί(ας),
	ὑπὲρ βέβηκε μουσικὴν θυμηδί(αν):
