	Ζωῆς τὸν ἄρτον Χριστὸν ἠξιωμένος
	φαγεῖν, ταφῆς λάμψαντα τῆς τριημέρου
	εὐαγγελιστὴς τυγχάνει Λουκᾶς τρίτος,
	ᾧ Παῦλος αὐτός, οὐρανὸν φθάσας τρίτον,
	καί, τὴν ἄνωθεν, τῶν ὑπὲρ νοῦν καὶ λόγον
	λόγων ἀκούσας, ἐκμυεῖ θεωρίαν.
	Οἵων ὁ Λουκᾶς εὐτυχεῖ διδασκάλων!
	Οὕτως ἄνωθεν οὗτος ἠκριβωμένος
	τὰ θεῖα θείως ἱστορεῖ, δεδειγμένος
	ῥήτωρ πυρίπνους, πάνσοφος θεηγόρος.
