Ἐποίησε δὲ καὶ ἕτερον μνήμης ἄξιον ἡ πανεύφημος ἐκείνη καὶ ἀξιάγαστος βασίλισσα, ἡ τοῦ πιστοτάτου βασιλέως μήτηρ. τὰς γὰρ διὰ βίου τὴν παρθενίαν ἀσκούσας συναγείρασα πάσας καὶ ἐπὶ στιβάδων πολλῶν κατακλίνασα, αὐτὴ δι᾿ ἑαυτῆς θεραπαινίδος ἔργον ἐπλήρου, διακονοῦσα αὐταῖς καὶ ὄψα παρατιθεῖσα καὶ κύλικας ὀρέγουσα καὶ οἰνοχοοῦσα καὶ πρόχοον ἐπὶ λέβητος φέρουσα καὶ ὕδωρ ταῖς ἐκείνων χερσὶν ἐπιχέουσα.
