ἔλεξεν ὧδε τοὺς λόγους τοὺς ἐνθάδε,
ἰωάννης ἄριστος τὸ χρυσοῦν στόμα·
οἳ, καλέονται θαυμαστοὶ μαργαρῖται·
εἰ βούλει γε ἄν(θρωπ)ε τούτους συλῆσαι,
τὴν δέλτον ἀναπτυξον, κ(αὶ) τούτους ἄρης·
ἄρον δὲ τούτους ὡς κεκλοφῶς μηδ᾽ ὅλως·
εἰ δέ γε ἄρης κατακρίψης εἰς γαία·
γέγωνας ἐχθρὸς τοῦ δεσπότου τῶν ὅλων·
