	Ἐπίγραμμα εἰς τὸ ψαλτήριον

	Δαυῒδ μελωδέοντι τῆς ἐκκλησίας
	ὃς τῆ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐκπλαγεὶς τραγωδίη
	ζώων φύσεις θέλγοντά που καὶ δενδρέων
	ἀλλʹ ὀφρέα κρούοντα θείην πυκτίδα
	θεὸν σέβοντα ὃν πάροιθεν ἠγνόουν
	τὸ καινὸν ᾆσμα ποῖος ἔψεται νόος
	ὀρφία τοῦτον οὐ τὸν ἔξω προσφράσοι
	ὡς οἷα τοῖς μύθοισιν ἐξυφασμένα
	ἧς τοῖς μέλεσιν ἕπετʹ ἐθνέων γένη.

Comment	The order of verses was originally completely different, see Follieri 1964:465-467 for a reconstruction of the right order. Probably, in the original codex (now lost) the epigram was written in two columns, but was copied top-down instead of from the left to the right. Follieri also concludes that the epigram was written in an earlier period (IX-X). Matthaei (1805: 223) mentions that the epigram is preserved on f. 31.
