Ὁ πάντα κόσμον ἐν λόγῳ κτίσας πάλαι
καὶ νῦν δὲ σώζων ὡς φιλάνθρωπος φύσει,
τῇ σωστικῇ σου, Δεσπότα, προμηθίᾳ
σύμπραττε τῷ γράψαντι καὶ κεκτημένῳ·
ἐν σοὶ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βροτῶν σωτηρία.

Comment The epigram usually accompanies the psalms, along with other Psalter epigrams. However, its content is not related to the psalms, as testified by its presence as a prayer at the end of a manuscript (occurrence 22621) and as a book epigram along with Klimax' Ladder (occurrence 22038).
