	Πέτρος κλήριξ ἔξυσε τήνδε τὴν δέλτον.
	Ἀναπτύσσοντες πάντες οἱ εὐσεβεῖς τε
	Σοφῶς ἀναπέμψατε δόξαν Κυρίῳ,
	Ἱλεωποιουμένοι ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ τε.
	Ληΐδος τύχω κἀγὼ τῶν πρωτοτόκων,
	Ἐρωμένη γάρ ἐστιν ὄντως καὶ μάλα·
	Ἶρος γάρ εἰμι τοῖς τε ἀγαθοῖς ἔργοις,
	Ὅτι ταῖς ὑμῶν εὐχαῖς χάριν πιστεύω
	Σωῆς ἐπιτεύξομαι. Ἀμὴν· γένοιτο.
