	Πάνταρχε πάτερ υἱὲ καὶ πνεῦμα φάος,
	ἓν τρισσοφεγγὲς ἀόρατος οὐσία,
	ἡ τρισαλληλόφωτος ἄκτιστος φύσις,
	ῥῦσαι με πυρὸς παμφάγου αἰωνίου,
	σκώληκος ἅμα ταρτάρου τὲ καὶ σκότους,
	βρυγμοῦ τ' ὀδόντων, ἀπαρακλήτου (...),
	παύσων γὰρ πάντων ἀνυποίστων βασάνων,
	μήπως κατατρώσῃ με θανάτου ξίφος
	καὶ καταδουλώσῃ με τῇ τούτου σχέσει·
	ἔπειτα καὶ σώματος ὑγείαν δίδου.
