Κατ̓ ἀξίαν τῷ τῶν ὅλων Θεῷ εὐχαριστεῖν οὐκ ἀρκοῦμεν, ἀγαπητοὶ, ἐφ̓ οἶς θαυμασίοις ἐποίησε πάντοτε, ἐποίησε δὲ καὶ νῦν μετὰ τῆς ὑμετέρας ἐκκλησίας, τὸν ποιμένα ὑμῶν καὶ κύριον καὶ συλλειτουργὸν ἡμῶν Ἀθανάσιον ἀποδοὺς ὑμῖν. Τίς γὰρ ἤλπισέ ποτε ταῦτα ὀφθαλμοῖς ἰδεῖν, ἃ νῦν ὑμεῖς ἔργῳ ἀπολαμβάνετε; ἀλλ̓ ἀληθῶς αἱ εὐχαὶ ὑμῶν εἰσηκούσθησαν παρὰ τῷ τῶν ὅλων Θεῷ, τῷ κηδομένῳ τῆς ἐκκλησίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπιδόντι ὑμῶν τὰ δάκρυα καὶ τοὺς ὀδυρμοὺς,
