| Ἔφθασεν ἡ ναῦς ἐκ πλάτους τῆς θαλάσσης, | |
| ἐκ τοῦ κλυδῶνος καὶ πάσης τρικυμίας, | |
| πρὸς τὰ στενωπὰ τοῦ γλυκυτάτου ὅρμου, | |
| πᾶσαν λαθοῦσα τῶν κυμάτων τὴν ζάλην. | |
| Καὶ νῦν ὁ γραφεὺς τῆς παρούσης πυκτίδος, | |
| λήθῃ παραδοὺς τῆς γραφῆς μακροὺς πόνους, | |
| ἀφοσιεῖται τέρψιν πᾶσαν τὴν λύπην | |
| καί τῇ τριάδι ὕμνον ἄληκτον νέμει. |

The ship arrived from the expanse of the sea, From the wave and every tri-wave, To the narrows of the sweetest haven, Having forgotten every squall of the waves. Now, too, the scribe of the present codex, Having handed over to forgetfulness the long labors of writing, Acquits himself of every grief as enjoyment And allots to the trinity an unceasing hymn. |
