| Τέλος ὦδε πέφυκε ταύτης τῆς δέλτου· | |
| ξένοι μὲν ἀγάλλονται ἀθρεῖν πατρίδα | |
| καὶ οἱ πλοῦν θαλάττιον πλέοντες πάλιν | |
| λιμὴν ἡ αὐτῶν ἔφεσις ἔστιν †οἷμε† | |
| δούλων ἐπιθύμημα μὴ δούλος εἶναι | |
| πτωχοῖς φιλοπλούτοις τε πλουτεῖν τὰ κόσμου | |
| ἀδόξους ἀνάγεσθαι φθαρτὴν εἰς δόξαν, | |
| τὸν αὐτὸν δὴ τρόπον τε, πιστεύειν ἔχω, | |
| καὶ τοὺς βίβλον γράφοντας τὴν †οἱ ἀνοῦν† γε | |
| τὸ τέρμα αὐτῆς θεάσασθαι πληροῦντα· | |
| χαρᾶς ἡδονῆς εὐφροσύνης ἁπάσης· | |
| κἀγὼ τοιγαροῦν Νικόλαος, τάχα καὶ ἀναγνώστης· | |
| τὸ παρὸν βιβλίον τε, Μαργαρίται τοῦ Χρυσοστόμου, | |
| συλλέξας ὀργάνωσα, πόνῳ καὶ μόχθῳ | |
| εἰς θεοῦ τε αἴνεσιν καὶ ὑμνῳδίαν· | |
| πεπλήρωτο δὲ ἐν χρόνοις τοῖς τοῦ κόσμου | |
| χιλίων ἐξάπλωμα ἐκατοντάδων, | |
| ἐννακοσίοις ἅμα δὲ εἰκοστῷ καὶ τετάρτῳ, | |
| ἰνδικτιῶνος καὶ αὐτῆς δὲ ἐνάτης, | |
| ἐν μηνὶ Ἀπριλλίῳ τε ἑπτά δε καὶ δεκάτης. | |
| Ὦ Χριστέ μου σῶσον με, τὸν σὸν οἰκέτην | |
| πρεσβείαις τῆς τεκούσης σε καὶ σοφοῦ Χρυσοστόμου. |
