Εἴληφε τέλος ἡ παροῦσα πυκτίδα
χειρὶ ξεσθεῖσα Νικολάου καὶ τοῦ Μακρουλέοντος
ἀναξίου ἵρου τε εὐλαβεστάτου,
τοῦ ἐν εξ ἑξασχιλεπτακόστου ἔτους
– ἑξηκοστοῦ τε πέμπτου, ὡς ἔφην ἄνω –,
ἀπριλίῳ τε μηνὶ εἰκὰς ἐνάτῃ.
Τοὺς ἐνταῦθα ἅπαντας καὶ ἐντυχόντας
εὐχῆς μερίδα μοι ἐκλιπαρῶ νέμειν,
ὅπως σφαλμάτων τῶν πολλῶν εὕρω λύσιν
ὧνπερ ἀφρόνως παρεσφάλην ἐν βίῳ.

Translation(s)
  • The present book has reached its end,
    written by the hand of Nikolaos Makroleon,
    unworthy to be called a reverent priest,
    in the year six thousand seven hundred e-xi
    – that is sixty-five, as I said above –
    on the twenty-ninth of the month of April.
    To all readers, both of today and tomorrow,
    I implore you to include me in your prayers,
    so that I may find forgiveness for the many sins
    that I foolishly committed in my life.

  • Giunt’è alla fine il presente volume
    scritto di man di Nicola Macroleone [corr. su l’abietto oppure il tapino (?)]
    e indegno d’esser prete reverendo,
    l’anno seimilasettecento e-xi
    – ovver sessantacinque: l’ho già detto – e del mese d’aprile il ventinove.
    Tutti i lettori d’oggi e di domani
    imploro: mi fean parte di lor preci,
    ch’abbia il perdono dei molti peccati
    che stoltamente in mia vita commisi.
