ὕστατος ἐς βίον ἦλθες ἀοίδιμον, ἀλλὰ τάχιστα
ἔνθεν ἀνηέρθης: τίς τάδ᾽ ἔνευσε δίκη;
Χριστὸς ἄναξ, Νικόμηδες, ὅπως σέο λαὸν ἄνωθεν
ἰθύνοις τεκέων σὺν ἱερῇ δυάδι.

— Paton edition

Late didst thou come to glorious life, but early
wert thou taken thence. What justice so decreed?
It was Christ the Lord, Nicomedes, so that from
heaven thou mightest rule thy people together with
the holy pair, thy children.
