μικρὸν μὲν πνείεσκες ἐπὶ χθονὶ σαρκὸς ἀνάγκῃ,
πλείονα δὲ ζωῆς ὑψόθι μοῖραν ἔχεις,
Ἑλλάδιε, Χριστοῖο μέγα κλέος: εἰ δὲ τάχιστα
δεσμῶν ἐξελύθης τοῦτο γέρας καμάτων.

— Paton edition

For a little season by the necessity of the flesh
thou didst breathe on earth, but above a greater
share of love is thine, Helladius, great glory of
Christ. If thou wast early released from thy bonds,
this was the reward of thy labours.
