	+ στίχοι εἰς τ(ὸν) τοῦ ῥήτορος λόγον ἐν τῶ ρητῶ τοῦ ἁγίου εὐα(γγελί)ου:-

	Ὦ θαυμάτων ἄβυσσος ὦ μυστηρίων,
	Ὦ πραγμάτων ἔκβασις ὡς πάντα ξένα·
	Ὁ γὰρ κατέχων δρακὶ πᾶσαν κτίσιν,
	Χερσὶ παραδίδεται τῶν μιαιφόνων·
	Ῥαπίζεται φεὖ ἐμπαιγμοὺς ὑποφέρει,
	Χλέβης ὑποδύεται στολὴν ἐν ὕβρει,
	Ὁ καλλωπίσας τὰ ἄνω τὲ καὶ κάτω·
	Στ(αυ)ρὸν κατακρίνεται το τελευταῖον·
	Καὶ χολὴν ποτίζεται κατ’ ἀμφοῖν ὄξους,
	Λόγχη πλευρὰν τέτρωται ἥλοις ἡλοῦται. \|\|
	Πλὴν ἀλλὰ πάσχων ὁ θεάν(θρωπ)ος λόγος,
	Τῆς τεκούσης πρόνοιαν ὅλως ἐποίει,
	Καὶ τῶ παρθένω τὴν ἁγνὴν καὶ παρθένον
	Ὡς υἱῶ παρέθετο ὦ καινοῦ τρόπου·
	Πλὴν ἀλλ ἀναστὰς ὦ θύτα τῶν ἀδύτων,
	Τὸν εὐλογητὸν πνευματοφθόγγως δίδου:-
