| Ἐνθάδε κεῖται ὃς ἦν ἄνθος σοφίης Θεόδωρος | |
| Γαζῆς, ὃν τέκε καὶ κόσμησε μαθήμασιν Ἑλλὰς· | |
| ἔσχε δὲ Ἰταλία φωσφόρον ὡς ἑρμηνέα ἴδριν. | |
| Εἰ δὲ μικρὰ πόλις ἄνδρα τόσον κατέχει ἐνὶ τύμβῳ, | |
| μὴ ἀγάσῃ σοφίης γὰρ ἀγνωμοσύνη ὑπερίσχει. |

Hic jacet, qui Sapientiae, flos extitit, Theodorus Gaza, quem peperit, ornavitque disciplinis Graecia; Habuitque Italias Luciferum, ut peritum Interpretem. Si verò urbs parva virum tantum tumulo continet, Ne miretur; Sapientia enim ingrata Memoria praevalet.
