| Ἱδρῶτας ὧδε καὶ πάθη τε καὶ στίχους, | |
| πόνους ποιητῶν καὶ μαθητῶν μερίμνας | |
| πόθος συνάψας ταπεινοῦ Χριστοφόρου, | |
| κάλλει λόγου μίξας τε πραγμάτων χάριν, | |
| πανδαισίαν τέθεικεν οὐ κενουμένην. | |
| Πρόσελθε καὶ τρύφησον, οὐδείς σοι φθόνος· | |
| τῶν στίχων τε θαύμαζε τὴν εὐηχίαν, | |
| μαθητῶν δε ζήλωσον εὐπαιδευσίαν | |
| καὶ τῶν τεχνίτων τὴν σοφὴν τεχνουργίαν. | |
| Χριστέ, φύλαττε τοὺς φιλοῦντας σοφίαν‧ | |
| πλούτησον αὐτούς, σπεῦσον ἀγρύπνους ἔχειν | |
| φρουροὺς γνώσεώς τε καὶ καλλιεπείας | |
| καὶ δίδου δ’ αὐτοῖς τὴν πλήρην εὐεξίαν. | |
| Τοῦτο σκοπὸς γὰρ τῆς βάσεως δὲ ταύτης | |
| ψυχῆς τι κέρδος τοῖς κεχρημένοις φέρειν. |

| Translation(s) |
Here, the ardent desire of the humble Kristoffel has brought together the sweat, the sufferings, the verses, the labors of the poets and the worries of the students, and mixing the grace of actions with the beauty of words, it prepared a banquet that is never depleted. Come near, enjoy, there is no envy for you; admire the sweet sound of the verses, be zealous of the students’ erudition and the skilled craftwork of the technicians. Christ, protect those who love wisdom; enrich them, urge them to be sleepless guards of knowledge and eloquence, and grant them full good health. This is the aim of the <data>base: to bring some benefit to the soul of its users.
