	Ἔγραψα τήνδε τὴν πανέντιμον βίβλον
	Χριστοῦ φέρουσαν τοῦ θεοῦ μου τοὺς λόγους
	οὓς ἐξέδωκαν οἱ πανεύφημοι λίαν
	εὐαγγελισταὶ τέσσαρες φῦλα πλάνης
	ζωγροῦντες ἀγρεύοντες ἰχθύων δίκην·
	ἐγὼ ταπεινὸς Νικόλαος ἐν πόθῳ
	μοναχὸς ἀγράμματος καὶ ἰδιότης
	μνήμην ἄληστον ὥστε καρποῦσθ᾽ ἀξίως
	ἀνὴρ δὲ ταύτην εὐσεβὴς ἐκτήσατο
	πίστει ζεούσῃ καὶ καλῇ προθυμίᾳ.
