[☩ ὅσ]οι βλέπουσι τοῦ τόπου τὸ κόσμιον / καὶ τῆς στέγης τὸ σεμνὸν ἢ τῆς ψηφίδος, / Παύλου δικαίως τοῦ σοφοῦ τοῦ ποιμένος / ❦α̣ἰ̣νοῦσι ἀτεχνῶς τὴν ἄγαν προθυμίαν / καὶ τοῦ κτίσαντος τὴν χορηγίαν θαμά. / Θεόδωρος οὗτος οἴκοθεν χρυσὸν̣διδούς, / ὃν Θωμᾶς ἐξέθρεψεν οἷα πατὴρ γεγώς, / ψυχῇ προθύμῳ προσφορὰν τῷ Προδρόμῳ / (οὗ τὴν ὁμώνυμον προσηγορίανἐπέλαχεν), / ὁ πᾶσαν ἐνθεὶς τῷ τόπῳ τὴν καλλονήν.
