σου, εἰς ἀνάστασιν ζωῆς ἀιωνίου, ψυχῆς τε καὶ σώματος, ἐν ἀφ θαρσίᾳ Πνεύματος αγίου· ἐν οἷς προσδεχθείην ἐνώπιόν σου σήμερον ἐν θυσιᾳ πίονι καὶ προσδεκτῇ, καθὼς προητοίμασας καὶ προεφανέρωσας καὶ ἐπλήρωσας, ὁ ἀψευδὴς καὶ ἀληθινὸς Θεός.

λάθρα μ' ὑπελθὼν ἐκβαλεῖν ἱμείρεται,
ὑφεὶς μάγον τοιόνδε μηχανορράφον,
δόλιον ἀγύρτην, ὅστις ἐν τοῖς κέρδεσιν
μόνον δέδορκε, τὴν τέχνην δ' ἔφυ τυφλός.
