	Ἡ δέλτος αὕτη τὴν τετράστοιχον κτίσιν
	λογογραφοῦσα μυστικῶς πέλει κτίσις
	φέρει γὰρ ὡς γῆν τὰς στερεμνίους πτύχας
	τὸν ἄργυρόν τε λευκόμορφον ὡς ὕδωρ,
	ἔχει διαυγῆ λευκόλεπτον αἰθέρα
	ἐν ὧ μὲν εἰσὶν ὥσπερ ἀστέρες Λόγοι
	ὥσπερ δέ θερμὸς τοῦ Λέοντος ὁ πόθος·
	οὗτος γὰρ αὐτὴν εὐφυῶς ἡρμοσμένην
	ἀνεκαίνισεν εὐκλεὴς φιλοπόνως.
	Ἀλλ᾽ ὦ Χριστέ μου τῷ πόθῳ κτισαμένῳ,
	λύτρον παράσχε δεινῶν ἁμαρτημάτων·
	ταῖς δεήσεσιν τῶν εὐαγγελιστῶν σου
	Ματθαίου, Μάρκου, Λουκᾶ καὶ Ἰωάννου.
