	Πόνημα χρυσόρρειθρον ἔνθεον πάνυ.
	Χρυσοστόμου κήρυκος ἁγνοῦ ποιμένος.
	Χρυσαῖς ψεκάσι ναμάτων ζωηρρύτων.
	Ἄρδον φλογώδεις τῶν παθῶν αὐχμηρίας
	καὶ κατατῆκον δαιμόνων πανουργίας˙
	τῶν Ἀνομοίων ἀφανῖζον τοὺς ὕθλους,
	πλοκὰς τε δεινὰς μισοχρίστων ῥητόρων,
	καὶ τῶν Ἑβραίων φιλονείκους ἐνστάσεις,
	διαλῦον πνεύματος ἄριστα ξίφει˙
	λίθων διαυγῶν πρόκριτον καὶ μαργάρων,
	ὕλης γεηρᾶς γηΐνων μελημάτων
	ψυχῆς ῥεπούσης διόλου πρὸς τὰ κάτω
	οὐχὶ δʹ ἐχούσης ὄμμα πρὸς κάλλη τʹ ἄνω
	τέτευχε χρηστοῦ τοῦ τέλους εὐθυβόλως,
	χειρὶ δοκίμου γραφέως Ἰγνατίου,
	κρίσει τε πατρὸς διακριτικωτάτου
	ἐν ἀζύγοις θύτου τε καὶ γερωνύμου,
	ὃν ταῖς λιταῖς σου χρυσὲ τὴν γλῶτταν πάτερ
	μιμούμενόν σε κατὰ πάντα τοὺς τρόπους
	ἄριστον ὡς πέλοντα λαύρας ποιμένα
	ἀνώτερον φύλαττε παντοίας βλάβης.
