Τὸ τετραπλοῦν σύνταγμα τῶν χ(ριστο)ῦ λόγων;
τέτρωρον ὥσπερ ἅρμα σοι ζεύξας ἅμα;
διφρηλάτην ἄλλον σε καινὸν ἠλίαν
ποθῶ κατιδεῖν ἐνθέως ἐπηρμένον
εἰ γὰρ ἐπιβῆς δεξιῶς τῆς ἁψίδος
καὶ τὰς νοητὰς ἡνίας ἀναλάβης,
τοὺς πρακτικοὺς ἵππους τε καλῶς δαμάσ(εις)
νύσσαν πρὸς οὐ(ρά)νιον ἰθύνων τρέχειν,
καὶ σὺ φανήσῃ καλὸς ἡνιοστρόφως.
παύων ἐκεῖσε τὸν δρόμον σὺν ἠλία.
πλὴν ὡς ἐκεῖνος ἀλλὰ καὶ σύ μοι χάριν;
κἂν οὐχὶ διπλὴν ἀλλ' ἁπλὴν εὐχὴν δίδου.
ὅστις ἂν ἦσθα ξεῖνε τῶ γεγραφότι +
