	Πεπείραμαι κυροῦν, ἐν βραχέσι πλεῖστα,
	ῥήτορσι γὰρ κάλλος συντομία ἔπους.
	Ῥητρεύσεών σου ὡς ἔφης τὰς ἐκφράσεις
	χωλὰς τὸ πῶς νοοῦντες εἰπεῖν οὐκ ἔχω,
	ἡμείψαμέν που ἢ κεκόψαμεν πάλιν.
	Ἀλλʹ, ὡς πατήρ, σύγγνωθι φιλτάτοις τέκνοις,
	θαρρεῖν γάρ ἐστιν οὐ κακίζειν τοῦτό σε.

Papadopoulos-Kerameus (1897: 152): '"Δανιὴλ μοναχοῦ Ῥαϊθηνοῦ εἰς τὸν βίον τοῦ κυροῦ Ἰωάννου τοῦ ἐπίκλην Σχολαστικοῦ"'.
