All who love Christ and cherish the soul, and who bear God within their hearts, remember a certain—apart from his suffering—Basil who acquired this book with yearning, for atonement, for the recompense of sins, and to avert all adversities. For, indeed, this magnificent work was completed in the year six thousand five hundred sixty-nine, in the fourteenth indiction, during the reign of Constantine Doukas and his consort Eudokia, parents of great Constantius.
