	Τοῦ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐκ μέρους τοῦ παλατίου αὐτοῦ

	Οὐκ ἀνέμων βία με συντρίβει τόσον
	οὔτ᾿ἀστραπῆς ὁ κτύπος ἢ βροχῆς χύσις
	ὅσον θυμοβλαβής τε τήκει με φθόνος
	φαρμακοπνεύστων βασκάνων Ὑδρουντίων,
	οἵτινες οὐ παύουσιν ὀφθαλμῶν κόραις
	ὡς πετροπομποῖς ὀργάνοις κατατρίβειν
	τὸν εὐτυχῆ με καὶ περίφημον δόμον
	τὸν συνανυψωθέντα χρημάτων βάρει
	κεκτημένων τε χερσὶ ταῖς Ἰωάννου
	οὗ τοῖς βροτοῖς ἄφθαρτον ἔσται τὸ κλέος.
