(Μετὰ τὸ ἐγνωκέναι μέ, φησιν, ὅτι ἡ ῥίζα Δαυείδ, ὁ νικήσας λέων ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα, εἴληφεν τὸ βιβλίον ἐπὶ τ<ῷ> λῦσαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ) Εἶδον ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ <θ>ρ<ό>νου καὶ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἀρνίον ἑστηκὸς <ὡς> ἐσφαγμένον. μετὰ τὴν ἀνάστασιν καὶ ἀνάληψιν ὀφθὲν τὸ ἀρνίον οὐκέτι ἐσφαγμένον <ἀλλ' ὡς ἐσφαγμένον> ὤφθη καὶ ἔ<τ>ι ἑστός, τουτέστιν οὐκέτι ἀλλοιούμενον. <εἰ> οὖν κατὰ καιν<ὴ>ν στάσιν ἔχει λοιπὸν ἑπτὰ κ<έ>ρατα, ἁγίαν βασιλείαν καὶ εὐλογημένην ἔχει, ταύτης γὰρ σύμβολον τὰ <ἑ>πτά. πρὸς τοῖς ἑπτὰ κέρασι καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἑπτὰ ἔχει, οὐκ ἄλλους ὄντας τῶν ἑπτὰ τοῦ θεοῦ πνευμάτων ἃ πορεύεται <ἐ>π<ὶ> τῆς γῆς ἐπισκοποῦντα τὰ πρὸς ἀνθρώπων πραττόμενα· συνᾴδει τούτοις τὸ Ἑπτὰ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου εἰσὶν ἐπιβλέποντες ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
