	Πρὸς τὰς ἐπωδὰς τῶν πονηρ(ῶν) πνευμ(ά)τ(ων),
	βύουσα τὴν αἴσθησ(ιν) οἰκτρὰ καρδία,
	τῶν δεσποτικῶν ἀκροῶ διδαγμάτων·
	βρονταὶ γ(άρ) εἰσιν ἐκ θ(εο)ῦ προηγμέναι·
	(καὶ) ῥεῖθρα καινὰ μυστικ(ῆς) ἐπομβρίας,
	ὑφ' ὧν ὁ σατὰν συσχεθ(εὶς) ἀπεπνίγη·
	Κἂν ἀστραπ(ῆς) ἔλλαμψιν ἀθρῆσαι θέλης,
	ἔχεις ἰδοὺ τὸ πν(εῦμ)α· κ(αὶ) ταύτης πλέον·
	κἂν ὑλομανῆς ὑπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας,
	κάθαιρε κ(αὶ) λίπαινε τὸν χέρσον βίον·
	ὡς ἂν ὁ καρπὸς εὐστοχῆ τῶν πρακτέ(ων),
	σταχυφορῶν τὸ σπέρμα τῆς σ(ωτη)ρίας.
