	Ἰωάννης εγραψεν ὢν εκ Ρουσίων
	πόλις τεκοῦσα, τους φαεινοὺς αστέρας
	Νείλωνα τὸν ἔντιμον Βαρθολομαῖον
	ὧνπερ προσευχαῖς, σῶζε κόσμον παρθένε
	ὦ παγκράτορ ὕψιστε τοῦ Θεοῦ λογε
	καί μητροπάρθενόν γε, σύ, πόλων κλέος
	Ἰησοῦ Χριστὲ καὶ μόνη Θεοτόκε
	δοῖς πραιποσίτωι χάριτας Παγκρατίῳ
	βίβλου χάριν τῆς δή γε τοῦ σοὶ τιμίου
	Βαρθολομαίου πατρὸς τοῦ παναγίου·
	εγράφη ,ςψλη ἔτει
	καί τοῖσδε λοιποῖς ἱρομοναζουσιν γε
	ψάλταις νακούροις ἱεράζυξιν ὅλοις.
