	Ἡ βίβλος αὔτη σαββάτω σχοῦσα τέλος
	δέδωκεν ἡμῖν σαββατίσαι τοῦ πόνου
	εἰς τὰς ἥκωσι τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ αὐγούστου
	ἰνδικτιῶνος ὀγδόης ἱσταμένης.
	Ματθαῖος ὁ γράψας γὰρ τὴν βίβλον ταύτην
	οἱ ἀναγινώσκοντες εὔχεσθαι πάντες
	ὅτι ὁ γράφων καὶ πάλιν παραγράφει
	ἐτῶν γὰρ συντρεχόντων ἐν οἷς ἐγράφη
	ἕξ χιλιάδων ἑπτὰ ἐκατοντάδων
	σὺν τοῖς τρισὶ καί δέκα τῷ Θεῷ δόξα.
