	Ὡς ηὐδόκησεν ὁ κρατῶν στεφηφόρος
	ὡς ἐγγράφως ὥρισεν ὡς ἔδειξέ μοι,
	σπεύσας κατεσκεύασα τὴν πανοπλίαν·
	ταῦτ’ οὖν μαθόντες οἱ κριταὶ τοῦ βιβλίου
	στέργοιτε. καὶ βάλοιτε ταῖς εὐφημίαις,
	τὸν ἀγχίνουν τε καὶ μέγαν βασιλέα·
	τούτωι γὰρ ἡ σύμπασα καὶ μόνωι χάρις·
	εἰ γὰρ προσήκει τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγειν,
	εὐμήχανον τὸ χρῆμα, πιπτέτω φθόνο(ς) ·:·
