| Ὡς μαργάρους δέδωκε Ματθαῖος λόγους, | |
| πλοῦτον νοητὸν χριστιανικῷ στίφει· | |
| ὃν καὶ κρατοῦντες ἔνδον ἐν στέρνοις, φίλοι, | |
| κόσμον φύγωμεν καὶ ματαίας φροντίδας | |
| ἐκεῖνος ὥσπερ τῶν τελωνῶν τὴν λύμην, | |
| καὶ πρὸς χαρὰν δράμωμεν Χριστῷ ἐν τάχει. |

| Translation(s) | Come perle diede Matteo discorsi, ricchezza spirituale per la schiera cristiana; questa dunque serbando dentro al petto, amici, fuggiamo il mondo e i vani pensieri, come quegli la sozzura dei publicani, e verso la gioia corriamo a Cristo in fretta. |
| Comment | One more occurrence of the epigram is preserved in the ms. Vat. gr. 2561, f. 1v, where the poem was added by Nikolaos Zampelis' hand in 1620 (see Canart (2010: 326)). |
