	Γράψας τὰ πεντήκοντα ταῦτά σου, Πάτερ,
	ἐν οἷς διδάσκεις ἀκριβωμένοις λογοις
	γενῶν ἁπάντων τὰς ὅλας διαιρέσεις,
	καθ᾽ ἃς προς εἴδη κατατέμνονται ξένως·
	ἥ τις πέφυκεν εἰδικωτάτου φύσις,
	ἥ τις πέφυκεν ἀτόμων θεωρία,
	ὁμωνύμων τε καὶ συνωνύμων πάλιν,
	καὶ γνῶσιν ὡς ἔσχηκε τὴν ὄντων φράσας,
	ὅπερ κεχρημάτικε φιλοσοφία,
	ἑνώσεώς τε καθ᾽ ὑπόστασιν λόγους,
	καὶ πάντα τἄλλα πατρικῶς, οὐ φλυάρως·
	τὴν γὰρ θύραθεν ἐβδελύξω σοφίαν·
	οὑ μὴ δεηθῶ τῶν Σταγειρίτου λόγων
	τῶν δυσνοήτων τῇ πολυσχιδεῖ φράσει.
