| Βροντῶν τὰ θεῖα τῇ βοῇ τῶν δογμάτων | |
| ἤχησας ὄντως τὴν ὑπ' οὐρανόν, μάκαρ· | |
| καὶ πάσας ἀπρὶξ μαράνας τὰς αἱρέσεις | |
| τὸν κόσμον ἐστήριξας ἐν τοῖς σοῖς λόγοις. | |
| Πηγὴν ἄληκτον παγχρύσων λόγων βλύσας | |
| ὅλην κατάρδεις τὴν ὑφήλιον, μάκαρ· | |
| θύρας δ' ἀνοίγων τοῖς βροτοῖς σωτηρίας | |
| εἰς οὐρανοὺς τὸν κόσμον ἐκπέμπεις ὅλον. | |
| Ἤστραψας αἴγλῃ τοῦ φαεινοῦ σου βίου, | |
| καί φαιδρύνεις τὸν κόσμον ἔργοις καὶ λόγοις· | |
| λαβὼν δὲ τὰς κλεῖς κ' αὐτὸς ὡς Πέτρος νέος | |
| φύλαξ ὑπάρχεις τῆς πάσης ἐκκλησίας. |

| Comment | This poem is a combination of three poems of Theodoros Stoudites (poems 67-72-66), of which in fact only the first is a poem on Gregory (the two others are on John Chrysostom and Basil the Great). Lauxtermann (2003: 171): "The epigram alludes to certain Biblical passages: for τὴν ὑπ' οὐρανόν; see Luke 17:24; for μωράνας, see Paul, 1 Cor. 1:20; and for τὸν κόσμον ἐστήριξας, see the beginning of the book Genesis." See also the hymn on St. Gregory by Theodore of Stoudios, incipit: 'Τὰ σοφώτατα τῆς φλογερῆς σου γλώττης ἔπη'. |
