	Ἀνῆλθε Χριστὸς ἐξ ὄρους πρὸς τὸν πόλον,
	πατρῷον ἐξώρμησεν εἰς πυρὸς θρόνον
	καὶ σάρκα θνητὴν τὴν κατακεκριμένην
	ἄνω τίθησιν ἀγγέλων, ἀρχαγγέλων,
	κυριοτήτων καὶ θρόνων πυριπνόων,
	θρόνῳ καθίζει τοῦ Πατρὸς βροτῶν φύσιν.
	Μήτηρ πάρεστι σὺν μαθηταῖς εἰς ὄρος,
	ὁρῶσι θείους ἀγγέλους ἀφιγμένους
	λέγοντας οὕτως· «δευτέρᾳ παρουσίᾳ
	ἐλεύσεται τάχιστα τόνδε τὸν τρόπον
	κρίνων ἅπαντας καὶ φίλους σώζων μόνους».

Translation(s)	Christ rises from the mountain to heaven. He sets out on the fire-illuminating throne of his Father and puts the condemned mortal flesh above the Angels and Archangels, [5] Lordships and fire-breathing Thrones; He places the mortal nature on Father’s throne. [His] mother is on the mountain together with the disciples, [and] all see the divine angels who arrive saying the following [things]: “In the Day of Judgment [10] He will swiftly come in this way to judge all, and to save only [His] friends.” 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: 1319-1321 Vom Berge fuhr Christus zum Himmel auf, zum Feuerthron des Vaters stürmte er; sterbliches Fleisch, verurteilt wie es war, erhöht er über Engel und Erzengel, Herrschaften und der Throne Feuerhauch, Menschennatur setzt er auf Vaters Thron. Die Mutter mit den Jüngern auf dem Berg, sie sehen Götterboten schon ganz nah, die künden folgendes: "Beim Weltgericht wird er kommen, ganz schnell, aus diese Art, und richten alle, retten nur die Freunde".
