ὁ παρθένος τί·| τὸν τεκόντα | τὸν κάτω·
λι|πὼν, τεκόντα | τὸν θ(εὸ)ν κτᾶται | μόνον·
ὡς παρ|θένος γὰρ πρὸ(ς) | τὸν ἐκ τῆς παρ|θένου,
καλοῦν|τα χ(ριστὸ)ν οἷα συγ|γενὴς τρέχει |
ἐντεῦθεν εἰς | τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ | γνησίως·

μυστηρίων ἄ|γνωστα καὶ τοῖς | ἀγγέλοις·
θεηγόρος τέταρ|τος οὖν ἰωάνν(ης)|
εὐαγγελισταῖς, ἀλλʹ ἐν ὕψει δογ|μάτ(ων)·
πρῶτος· μέγιστος· ἄκρος· ἀρχὴ· κ(αὶ) τέλο(ς)·
