| Κόχλον θαλάττης τὴν βίβλον νομιστέον· | |
| ὥσπερ γὰρ αὕτη πρὸς μεσημβρινὰς φλόγας | |
| πτύξιν διαστείλασα τὸν κεκρυμμένον | |
| φαίνει διαυγάζοντα μάργαρον κάτω· | |
| οὕτω νοείσθω δέλτος ἡ προκειμένη, | |
| ἥτις πόθῳ ζέοντι τῶν θεοφρόνων | |
| ἀναπτυγεῖσα τὸν νοητὸν τοῦ λόγου | |
| λάμποντα πᾶσι μαργαρίτην δεικνύει· | |
| ὃν εἴ τις εἰσδὺς εἰς νοημάτων βάθος | |
| ἐκεῖθεν ἐμπόρευμα τοῦτον λαμβάνει | |
| οὐκοῦν ὁ τοῖσδε τοῖς λόγοις ἐντυγχάνων | |
| πολλῶν δι’ αὐτῶν ἐμφορεῖται κρειττόνων | |
| πολλῶν ἀφράστων ἀξιοῦται θαυμάτων. |
