+ στίχοι εἰς τὸν εὐα(γγελιστὴν) ἰωάννην:·
 
ὁ παρθένος τί· τὸν τεκόντα τὸν κάτω·
λιπὼν, τεκόντα τὸν θ(εὸ)ν κτᾶται μόνον·
ὡς παρθένος γὰρ πρὸς τὸν ἐκ τῆς παρθένου·
λαλοῦντα χ(ριστὸ)ν, οἷα συγγενὴς τρέχει·
ἐντεῦθεν εἰς τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ γνησίως·
πεσὼν ἐκεῖθεν τὴν ἄβυσσον λαμβάνει·
τῆς γνώσεως (καὶ) πάντ(α) πλουτῆ τὸν κόσμον·
μυστηρίων ἄγνωστα καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις·
θεηγόροις τέταρτο(ς) οὖν ἰωάννης·
εὐαγγελισταῖς ἀλλʹ ἐν ὕψει δογμάτων·
πρῶτος μέγιστος ἄκρος ἀρχὴν καὶ τέλο(ς)·
