Ὑπῆρχεν ἡ παῖς γένει βασιλικῷ καὶ πασῇ ἀρετῇ ἐκεκόσμητο, τὸ ἐκ δαυιτικῆς ῥίζης διασώζουσα κάλλος, καθαρὰ καὶ ἄσυλος χώρα· αὐτὴ ὑπῆρχεν ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν γεννητόρων εὐγενῶς τρεφομένη, παλάτιον περιηνθισμένον, σφραγῖδι βασιλικῇ φυλαττομένη, λαμπὰς θεοπτίαν φέρουσα τῷ παντὶ κατέλαμπε κόσμῳ, ὡς δέσποινα ὑπεροπτεύετο τὸ ἐν γυναιξὶν αἰδέσιμον ἐμφανίζουσα.
