Σάρρα φίλη, πῶς τὸν σὸν Ἰσαὰκ λίπες, ἦ ποθέουσα
τῶν Ἀβραὰμ κόλπων ὡς τάχος ἀντιάσαι,
Νόννα, Γρηγορίοιο θεόφρονος; ἦ μέγα θαῦμα
μηδὲ θανεῖν νηῶν ἔκτοθι καὶ θυέων.

Chère Sarah, comment as-tu pu quitter ton Isaac*, toi
qui désirais rejoindre au plus tôt le sein d'Abraham, Nonna,
pieuse femme de Grégoire? Certes, c'est un grand miracle de
ne pas mourir hors de l'église et loin des sacrifices.

— Waltz edition

Dear Sarah, how didst thou leave thy Isaac ? Was
it, Nonna, that thou didst desire to come as quickly
as might be to the bosom of Abraham, of pious
Gregory ? Verily a great marvel was it that thou
didst not even die outside the temple and the incense.

— Paton edition

Come l'Isacco tuo lasciarlo potesti, mia Sara,
che del seno d'Abramo eri smaniosa,
Nonna, consorte del saggio Gregorio? Un prodigio, morire
entro la chiesa, presso l'ostie sante!
