| Ἁγίων πατρῶν ἐνάρεστοι βίοι, | |
| χεῖρα ὀρέγοντες τοῖς κάτω κειμένοις. | |
| Ἀγὼν δὲ τοῦτο ὑπάρχει γρηγορίου, | |

| Ὑπάρχει τῆς ῥωμαίων πόλεως πάπας. | |
| Πόθῳ δὲ θείῳ καὶ ἐναρέτῳ ζήλῳ | |
| Ἀγόμενος ὁ πάνσοφος ζαχαρίας, | |
| Τοῦ κορυφαίου πέτρου κοσμῶν τὸν θρόνον, | |
| Ῥῶσιν ψυχῆς καὶ αὐτὸς παρέχειν θέλων, | |

Vitae thesaurus hic subiacet, Sactorum patrum praeclarae vitae, Manum porrigentes hic viventibus. Conatus vero hic est Gregorii, Fundere divinarum fluentia doctrinarum Hilaris accendens sermone omnibus. Hic autem primus hoc nomine Est Romanorum urbis Papa. Sed divino desiderio, et virtutis zelo Actus sapientissimus Zacharias, Principis Petri decorans sedem Robur animae et ipsus praebere volens, Qui Iosephum alterum se nunc monstravit, Panem vitae distribuens mundo, Scriptum prius latina lingua, Christo Deo hunc ad se vocante, Librum totum lingua graeca Reddidit omnibus interpres. |
| Comment | Note the acrostich, which is also mentioned in an introducing metrical title; Hardt (1810: 438): 'Ἀκροστιχὶς ζαχαρίου πατριάρχου'. |
