	Τὸ θεῖον ἦλθε Πνεῦμα τοῖς ἀποστόλοις
	πνοῇ βιαίᾳ καὶ πυρὸς θεωρίᾳ
	ἕκαστον αὐτῶν συνετίζον εἰς ἄκρον,
	τὸν νοῦν ὁπλίζον πρὸς πάλην τῶν δαιμόνων,
	γνῶσιν διδάσκον Τριάδος σελασφόρου·
	γλώσσαις λαλοῦσιν ἁλιεῖς παραυτίκα
	ταῖς τῶν παρόντων ἐθνικῶν ἀθροισμάτων
	ὡς Πνεύματος φέροντες ἄρρητον σθένος.

Translation(s)	The Holy Spirit came to the Apostles in the form of a mighty wind and the spectacle of a fire making each of them wise to the uttermost degree, preparing [their] spirit for the struggles against demons, [5] teaching knowledge of the light-bearing Trinity. The fishermen immediately spoke in the languages of the current flocks of pagans, for they bear the unintelligible strength of the Holy Spirit. Language English Source(s) N. Zagklas 2022, Gregory of Corinth: A Cycle of Epigrams on the Dodecaorton, in F. Spingou (ed.), The Visual Culture of Later Byzantium (vol. 2), Cambridge / New York, 1311-1324: 1319 Der Heil'ge Geist zu den Aposteln kam mit starkem Brausen und mit Feuerschein, erleuchtend jeden einzeln sonder Maß, wappnend den Geist zum Kampf mit den Dämonen, lehrend Erkenntnis der Licht-Trinität. Die Fischer reden plötzlich ebenso wie Scharen fremder Völker just am Ort, von unsagbarer Geistes-Kraft erfüllt. Language German Source(s) H.
