ψυχὴ μὲν πτερόεσσα πρὸς οὐρανὸν ἤλυθε Νόννης,
σῶμα δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἐκ νηοῦ Μάρτυσι παρθέμεθα.
Μάρτυρες, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπόδεχθε θύος μέγα, τὴν πολύμοχθον
σάρκα καὶ ὑμετέροις αἵμασιν ἑσπομένην,

αἵμασιν ὑμετέροισιν, ἐπεὶ ψυχῶν ὀλετῆρος
δηναιοῖσι πόνοις κάρτος ἔπαυσε μέγα.

— Paton edition

The winged soul of Nonna went to heaven, and
from the temple we bore her body to lay it beside
the martyrs. Receive, ye martyrs, this great victim,
her suffering flesh that follows your blood — your
blood I say, for by her long labours she broke the
mighty strength of the destroyer of souls.
