Der gestern Zöllner war, heute Geretteter, schreibt hier die Fleischwerdung des Logos auf, durch die ein Zöllner und Mörder, wenn er will, zum Evangelisten wird, der über Gott schreibt.

| Comment | In two out of three manuscripts in which the epigram functions as a book epigram (Athens EBE 2925 and Athos Vat. 960), the verses do not accompany a miniature. The adverb ἐνθάδε in v.2, however, suggests that an image had originally been intended. |
