	Τὸν ὄγδοον γνοὺς καθαρὸν πεφυκέναι
	καὶ καθαρῶν χρῄζοντα τῶν μετὰ βίον
	ἡ χρυσογλωττόφωνος ἡ θεία λύρα
	τοῦτον δεκαπλοῖ τοῖς καθαρσίοις λόγοις·
	βροτούς καθαίρων καὶ τελειῶν ἐξόχως·
	σύστασιν ἐν τέσσαρσιν ὡς κεκτημένους,
	καθὼς νοεῖν δίδωσιν ἐξ ὧν γεγράφει
	πρὸς τοῖς ὀγδοήκοντα τεσσάρων λόγων,
	τὴν παρθενικὴν ἐκδιδασκόντων χάριν.
