Στίχοι ἐπιτύμβοι εἰς τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ
 
Τῆς ἀπάτης, φεῦ, τῶν παρόντων ἡδέων
περιτροπῆς τε κυκλικῆς τῶν ἐν βίῳ!
ὁ γὰρ πρὸ μικροῦ πορφύρας ἐνημμένος
μέλαινα ἠμφίεστο ἐξώλει νόσῳ,
ὑφ' ἧς τρυχωθεὶς καὶ τακεὶς, τὸ σαρκίον
τῇ γῇ παρασχὼν εὐχαρίστως ὡς ἄγαν,
λαμπρὸς προσχωρεῖ βασιλεῖ αἰωνίῳ,
πάμπαν ἀμιγὴς σαρκικῶν ὀμοργμάτων.
