	Τῆς <εὐ>σεβείας θερμὸς ὢν θεηγόρος
	Ἀποστόλων τε τῶν σοφῶν συνεργάτης,
	Ματθαῖε, μύστα τῆς ἄνω θεωρίας,
	Εὐαγγελιστὴς πρῶτος, ὡς δεδειγμένος,
	ἀνιστόρησας τὸν θεόκριτον λόγον.
	Καὶ νῦν παράσχου τῷ σοφουργῷ δεσπότῃ
	(...)
	ταῖς σαῖς γε λιταῖς Χριστὸν ἱλεωμένος
	ἄρξαι κρατῆσαι τοῦ θεοστεφοῦς κράτους
	ἐν ἀπλέοις τε καὶ γαληναίοις χρόνοις
	πατοῦντα καὶ τρέποντα τοὺς ἐναντίους
	καὶ τὰ πρὸς εὐσέβειαν ἐξησκημένος.
