	Τὸν ἐκ τελώνου θαύμασον θεηγόρον
	Εὐαγγελιστὴν πρῶτον ἐκλελεγμένον,
	ὀλέθριον λιπόντα κέρδος χρημάτων
	καὶ ζῶντα κερδάναντα τὸν Θεὸν Λόγον,
	ἔθνη μαθητεύσαντα πάντα καὶ κόσμον,
	καλῶς τελωνήσαντα καὶ σωτηρίως.
	Ματθαῖος οὗτος, ὃς διδάσκει συγγράφων,
	ὡς ἐν σαγήνῃ τῇ θεοπλόκῳ βίβλῳ
	πλέκων τὰ θεῖα τοῦ κενωθέντος Λόγου
	καὶ σάρκα προσλαβόντος ἐκ τῆς Παρθένου,
	τῷ ζῶντι καὶ τρέφοντι τὰς ψυχὰς λόγῳ
	ζωγρεῖ πρὸς εὐσέβειαν ἀνθρώπων γένος.
