| Εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, ὡς Δαυὶδ ψάλλει γράφων, | |
| ἀποστόλων ὁ φθόγγος ἐξῆλθε τρέχων. | |
| Πάντα σχεδὸν τὸν κόσμον ἡ βίβλος φέρει. | |
| Τίς γὰρ θεωρῶν εἰς τὸ βάθος τῶν λόγων | |
| τὸ σχῆμα τῆς γῆς οὐ δοκεῖ περιτρέχειν, | |
| ὅσον κατέσχον τῶν γραφῶν τῷ δικτύῳ | |
| οἱ ψυχοκερδεῖς ἁλιεῖς τοῦ δεσπότου; | |
| Πλὴν ἀλλὰ τῆς γῆς εὑρέθη πλατύτερον | |
| τοῦ βιβλίου τὸ χρῆμα, κἂν συνεστάλη· | |
| τοὺς γὰρ λογισμοὺς οὐρανοὺς ἔνδον φέρει | |
| βροντὰς νοητὰς ἀφιέντας τῇ κτίσει, | |
| δι' ὧν ὁ τῆς χάριτος ὄμβρος ἐρρύη | |
| παύων τὸν αὐχμὸν τῶν παθῶν καὶ τὴν πλάνην, | |
| οὐκοῦν τοσοῦτον ὄλβον ἐν κόλποις φέρων | |
| οὐ κατὰ παντὸς εὐπραγοῦντος κομπάσων. |
