Δέρκεο καὶ τύμβον Νικομήδεος, εἲ τιν᾽ ἀκούεις,
ὃς νηὸν Χριστῷ δειμάμενος μεγάλῳ,
αὑτὸν μὲν πρώτιστον, ἔπειτα δὲ τὴν περίβωτον
δῶκεν ἁγνὴν θυσίην παρθενίην τεκέων,
φέρτερον οὐδὲν ἔχων, ἱερεύς, γενέτης τε φέριστος.
τοὔνεκα καὶ μεγάλῃ ὦκα μίγη Τριάδι,

— Paton edition

Look on the tomb of Nicomedes, if thou hast ever
heard of him, who having built a temple to Great
Christ, gave himself first and then the renowned
virginity of his children a pure sacrifice to God,
having no better to offer, the best of priests and
fathers. Therefore he soon was united with the
Great Trinity.
