| Χάρις μακρά σοι τῶν μακρῶν πόνων χάρις, | |
| Ἰωάννη, τὸ θαῦμα τῶν χρονογράφων· | |
| ἱδρῶσι καὶ γὰρ συγκομίσας τοὺς λόγους | |
| ἀνήροτόν μοι γνωστικὴν τροφὴν δίδως | |
| καὶ τὸν μελίσσης ἀνθολεκτήσας τρόπον, | |
| ἐμοὶ γεωργεῖς τὸ γλυκύθυμον μέλι· | |
| ἔμαθον ἐκ σῆς συγγραφῆς ἐπιτρόχου | |
| τὴν ὀκτάτευχον βίβλον Ἑβραίων γένους | |
| καὶ τετράτευχον βασιλειῶν πυξίον | |
| τῶν παραλειφθέντων τε πάλιν πυκτίδα, | |
| Ἐσθήρ, Ἰουδήθ, τὸν Τωβὴτ καὶ τὸν Ἔζραν, | |
| ἀρχαιόλεκτα τῆς Ἰωσήπου βίβλου, | |
| κράτος Βαβυλώνιον ἀρθὲν εἰς μέγα, | |
| θράσος πάροινον τοῦ Ναυουχοδονόσορ, | |
| Περσικὸν αὖθις ὑπερακμάσαν ξίφος, | |
| Κύρους, Ξέρξας τε Καμβύσας Περσοκράτας | |
| Μακεδόνων τε τὴν ὑπέρβιον χέρα, | |
| Ἀλέξανδρον, τὸ θαῦμα τῆς μοναρχίας | |
| καὶ τὸν μερισμὸν τοῦ κράτους Ἀλεξάνδρου | |
| καὶ τὴν Λατίνων τετράτην αὐταρχίαν | |
| καὶ Ῥωμαϊκὴν ποικίλην στρατηγίαν. | |
| ἀλλὰ πιών σου τοῦ μέλιτος τῶν λόγων | |
| διψῶ τὸν ἑξῆς ἐκπιεῖν ὅλον ῥόα· | |
| βασιλέας ζητῶ γὰρ Αὐσόνων νέων, | |
| Κωνσταντῖνον τὸν πάνυ τοὺς ἐν ὑστέρῳ. | |
| ἡ βίβλος οὖν ὡς ἄγγος ἐστενωμένον | |
| ἔστεξεν οὐ πᾶν ἔνδον ἄπλετον χύμα | |
| καὶ ζημιοῖ με τὸν λόγοις διψαλέον· | |
| ποῦ ποῦ τὸ λεῖπον τῆς μελιρροίας λάβω; |
