| Εὐλαβέστατε ἐν ἱερεῦσιν, ὄντως | |
| κῦρ Θεόδωρε, φίλε, ἠγαπημένε, | |
| λάβε τὴν σαυτοῦ βίβλον τὴν θαυμασίαν, | |
| ἥτις ἐστὶ τιμιωτέρα λίθων, | |
| λίθων διαυγῶν, μαργάρων πολυτίμων. | |
| Βάθος γὰρ ἔχει σοφίαν κεκρυμμένην. | |
| Πλοῦτον γνώσεως, μυστήρια μεγάλα. | |
| Διὸ τοῖς πολλοῖς ἀμύητος τυγχάνει. | |
| Ἡμεῖς δ' αὐτῆς τρυφήσαντες ἐκ μέρους, | |
| χάριν σοι ὀφείλομεν τῷ δεδωκότι ταύτην. | |
| Ἔρρωσο, ὑγίαινε μετὰ τῶν σῶν ἁπάντων. | |
| Θεοδώρῳ Ιωάσαφ ἐλάχιστος. |

Piissime inter Sacerdotes, vere Domne Theodore, amice, dilecte, Accipe librum tuum admirabilem, Qui est pretiosior lapillis, Lapillis pellucidis, margaritis preciosissimis. Profundum enim habet sapientiam absconditam, Divitias scientiae, mysteria magna. Quamobrem multis impenetrabilis est. Nos autem qui illum ex parte saltem in delitiis habemus, Gratias tibi habemus qui dedisti illum. Vale, salve cum tuis omnibus. Theodoro Ioasaph minimus.
