	Ἡ τοῦ προφήτου ψαλμικωτάτη λύρα:∙
	Πλήκτροις λογισμῶν εὐσεβῶν κρατουμένη:
	Ἀθυμίαν τρέπει μεν ἐκ τῆς καρδίας:
	Σοβεῖ δὲ πάντα τῶν παθῶν τὰ θηρία:
	Καὶ νοῦν ἀνυψοῖ πρὸς θεωρίας βάθη:∙
	Παύει δὲ θυμὸν· ἡμεροῖ σαρκὸς θράση:∙
	Καὶ δαιμόνων φάλαγγας ὡς πορρωτάτω:
	Ἵστησιν ἐκτεφροῦσα πυρὶ τῶν λόγων:∙
	Εἰ γὰρ προσεγγίσοι τίς εὐσεβοφρόνως:∙
	Τοῖς κρουμάτων τῶν τοῦδε πάγγλυκ(οις) κρότ(οις):
	Ῥαῖον κατασπᾶ τὴν φρενῶν αταξίαν:
	Καὶ πρὸς πόλον τίθησι τὴν θεορίαν:∙
