(translation of vv. 1-4 only):
Thundering the divine doctrine with the roar of dogmas, your voice truly resounded all over the earth, O saint, and by making all heresies at once look foolish, you fastened the world to the anchor of your words.

1. En faisant tonner l'(enseignement) divin par la clameur des dogmes, tu as vraiment fait retentir la terre, ô Bienheureux; tu as aussi consumé sans relâche toutes les hérésies tu as affermi le monde dans tes Discours.
2. Tu as fait couler une source intarissable de propos tout en or, tu en inondes la terre entière, ô Bienheureux. Et en ouvrant les portes du salut aux mortels, c'est aux cieux qui tu envoies le mondes entier.
3. Tu as resplendi par l'éclat de ta vie brillante et tu illumines le monde par tes oeuvres et par tes paroles; Et, en ayant reçu les clefs, toi aussi, comme un nouveau Pierre, tu te trouves être gardien de l'Eglise entière.

| 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 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'.
