ὦ πηγαὶ δακρύων, ὦ γούνατα, ὦ θυέεσιν
ἁγνοτάτοις παλάμαι Χριστὸν ἀρεσσάμεναι
Καρτερίου: πῶς λῆξεν ὁμῶς πάντεσσι βροτοῖσιν;
ἤθελεν ὑμνοπόλον κεῖθι χοροστασίη.

— Paton edition

O founts of tears, O knees, O hands of Carterius,
that appeased Christ by most pure sacrifices. How
like all mortals has he ceased to be ? The choir
there in heaven required a hymner.
