	Ματθαῖος δεκατηλόγος οἷα πάροιθε τελώνης,
	γράψεν ἐν ἰδμοσύνη δεκάδας Χριστοῦ γενετήρων.
	Μάρκος ἐνὶ πραπίδεσσι κεκασμένος εὐεπιάων
	ἐκλοετροῦ θείοιο ἐς οὐρανίην ἀτραπιτόν.
	Λουκᾶ δ' αὖ σειρήνων φθόγγος θεσπεσιάων
	Χριστοῖο βροτέην γενεὴν καὶ ἀμύμονα ἔργα
	αἰετὸς ἠνεμόεις βροντῆς πάϊς ὁ βριμόγηρυς
	ἄχρονον ἀρχιγένεθλον ἱρὴν γενέθλην ἐπαείδει.
