	ἡ χεὶρ τὸ γράμμα νοῦς τ᾽ ἐφέλκει τοὺς λόγους
	τὸ πνεῦμα δ᾽ αὖθις συμπαρέσχεν τὴν σχέσιν
	τοὺς τρεῖς δακτύλους ὡς τοῦ γράφειν ἔπαυσα
	πέπαυμαι καὶ νῦν τοῦ γράφειν τὴν βίβλον ταύτην
	φεβρουαρίῳ μηνὶ εἰς τὴν δευτέραν βάσιν
	ἔτος δ᾽ ὑπῆρχεν, τὰς χιλιάδας φέρον
	αὐτὰς μόνας ἕξ, ἅμα ἐξακοσίων
	τέσσαρας καὶ δέκα σὺν τῇ ἰνδίκτῳ ἅμα
	εἰ ἦτε πάντες ὦ φίλοι μεμνημένοι
	ὡς ἀναξίῳ, ἐμοί τε γράψαντι
	παπὰς Νικόλας ὁ καὶ πάνυ χθαμαλῷ
	μονῆς καλλίστης τῆς τοῦ Ἀρχιστρατήγου.
