(formerly occ/8612)

	ἡ βίβλος αὕτη τοῦ κρατίστου δεσπότ(ου),
	θείων πέφυκεν ὁπλοθήκη δογμάτ(ων)·
	παντευχίαν φέρουσα καὶ πανοπλίαν,
	ἄρρηκτον ἀκράδαντον ἀδαμαντίνην·
	τοῦ γὰρ δυνατοῦ τὰ τεθηγμένα βέλη·
	ἃ πηγνύουσιν οἱ στρατηγοὶ τοῦ λόγου·
	τῶν τοῦ κρατοῦντος δυσμενῶν ἐν καρδία,
	ἐνταῦθα κεῖνται πάντα συνειλεγμένα·
	τῶ συγκροτησμῶ τοῦ σοφοῦ προμηθέ(ως),
	ἀλεξίου γῆς αὐσόνων βασιλέως·
	θεόφρονος μέδοντος εὐσεβεστάτου·
	ὃν ἡ πρόνοια τοῦ φιλαν(θρώπ)ου λόγου·
	ἐν ἐσχατιᾶ τῶν χρόνων τῶν δυσκόλ(ων)·
	καὶ τῶν ἀναγκῶν τῶνδε τῶν πολυπλόκ(ων),
	ἤνεγκεν εὐτύχημα ῥωμαίοις μέγα.
	στρατηγὸν εὐμήχανον ἠκριβωμένον·
	ἀρχηγὸν εὐδόκιμον ἐξῃρημένον·
	καὶ πρὸ κράτους τείχισμα (καὶ) μετὰ κράτο(ς),
	πύργωμα κραταίωμα τῆς σκηπτουχί(ας)·
	οὗ τὰ κατορθώματα, πολλὰ καὶ ξένα·
	(καὶ) τὰ τρόπαια τὰ κατ’ ἐχθρῶν, μυρία·
	σφραγὶς δὲ πάντων (καὶ) κορωνὶς αἰσία,
	ἡ δογματικὴ τυγχάνει πανοπλία·
	τῆς ὀρθοδόξου πίστεως ἡ στερρότης ‖
	(...)
	(...) ἀπτοήτως ἐξίτω.
