Bist du ein Kenner wohl ausgefeilter Schriften, so nimm mich in de Hand und in die Tiefe des Wissens (...). Doch bist du der Wissenschaft nicht kundig, überlasse das, was du nicht verstehst, sachkundigen Freunden. Die vier Bücher preisen die dreifachleuchtende Wesenheit, rühmen sie in rhythmisch wohlgestalteter Sprache, wobei sie die Gedanken in weiser Art miteinander verflechten und den Verstand mit den Wissenschaften vertraut machen.

| Comment | According to Vassis (2002: 155-156) and Hörandner (2007: 333-334), this epigram was initially not part of Leon Choirosphaktes' Chiliostichos Theologia, but was probably added as a prologue by an anonymous scribe at a later stage. |
