	Οἱ φιλόχριστοι καὶ φιλόψυχοι πάντες
	καὶ τὸν Θεὸν φέροντες ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ,
	μέμνησθε τινός, πλὴν πάθους, Βασιλείου,
	τῷ πόθῳ κτησαμένου τὴν δέλτον ταύτην
	εἰς λύτρον, εἰς ἄμειψιν ἁμαρτημάτων,
	εἰς ἀποτροπὴν πάντων τῶν ἐναντίων·
	ἐτελέσθη γὰρ τῷ ὄντι μεγαλεῖον
	ἔτους πέλουσα ἑξάκις χιλιάδος
	νῦν καὶ πεντακόσ' ἑξήκοντα καὶ θῆτα,
	ἰνδικτιῶνος δὲ τεσσαρακαιδεκάτης,
	βασιλεύοντος Δουκὸς τοῦ Κωνσταντίνου
	καὶ Εὐδοκίας τῆς τούτου γὰρ συνεύνου,
	παῖδα ἔχοντες Κωνστάντιον τὸν μέγαν.
