	Ἡ βίβλος ἥδε τῶν θεοπνεύστων λόγων
	λειμὼν πέφυκε ψυχικῶν ἀρωμάτων·
	ταύτην διελθὼν νουνεχῶς ψυχήν, φίλε,
	εὐωδιάσεις πνεύματος εὐωδίᾳ.
	Ἡ βίβλος αὕτη τῶν Θεοῦ προσταγμάτων
	λύχνος πέφυκε τοῖς ποσὶ καὶ φῶς τρίβοις·
	ταύτην διελθὼν νουνεχῶς τοὺς σοὺς πόδας
	κατευθυνεῖς, ἄνθρωπε, πρὸς θείας τρίβους.
