	Ἀφεὶς ὦ πρόκλε τοὺς ἀποκρήμνους λόγους, \|\|
	καὶ τοὺς σφαιρικοὺς οὕς τρέχεις ἀναδρόμους,
	ἐν οἷς καὶ μούσας δεικνύεις σφαιροδρόμους,
	κάτελθε μικρὸν καὶ ταπεινά μοι γράφε·
	μήπως αἱ κυλίστραι σε τ(ῆς) σφαίρας κάτω
	ῥίψωσιν εἰς γῆν καὶ ῥαγείς παραυτίκα,
	ὀλισθηρὸς γ(ὰρ) σφαιρικὸς σύμπας δρόμος.
	εἰ δ᾽ οὐ θέλεις ἄν(θρωπ)ε προδραμεῖν κάτω,
	πρόσκυπτε τῶν σῶν κἂν βραχύ σφαιρωμάτων·
	καὶ τῶν ταπεινῶν ἡμεδαπῶν ῥημάτων,
	τὴν ἀσκραικὴν βίβλον ἐξηγουμένων,
	ἄκουε μικρὸν εὐτελῶς γεγραμμένων:-
