	Δεσμὰ πρὸ παντὸς, καὶ παράστασις ξένη,
	πλήρεις δόλου μάρτυρες, ἡ κραυγὴ πάλιν,
	καὶ πτύσμα, καὶ ῥάπισμα, καὶ χλευασία,
	καὶ τὰ κολαφίσματα, σὺν φραγγελίῳ,
	ἡ πορφύρα, κάλαμος, ἀκανθῶν στέφος.
	Εἶτα γονυπέτησις, ἡ παροινία,
	ὁ σταυρὸς, ἥλοι, καὶ γραφῆς τίτλος ἄνω,
	λόγοι τε πικροὶ, καὶ παροινία πάλιν,
	ὄξος, χολὴ, σπόγγος τε, καλαμὸς πάλιν,
	λόγχη φρικώδης, καὶ ῥοὴ πλευρᾶς ξένη,
	ὕβρις, γέλωτες, κλῆρος ἐν ἱματίοις,
	ἡ σμύρνα, σινδὼν, καὶ τάφος, κλεὶς, καὶ λίθος.
