| τίς μορφὰς ζώων ἔπλασε, τίς δὲ εὗρε κελεύθους; τίς καρπῶν γεννητής, τίς δ’ οὔρεα ὑψόσ’ ἐγείρει; τίς δὲ ἀνέμους ἐκέλευσεν ἔχειν ἐνιαύσια ἔργα; τίς δὲ Αἰὼν Αἰ<ῶ>να τρέφων Αἰῶσιν ἀνάσσει; εἷς θεὸς ἀθάνατος· πάντων γεννήτωρ σὺ πέφυκας καὶ πᾶσιν ψυχὰς σὺ νέμεις καὶ πάντα κρατύνεις, Αἰώνων βασιλεῦ καὶ κύριε, ὃν καὶ τρέμουσιν οὔρεα σὺν πεδίοις, πηγῶν ποταμῶν τε τὰ ῥεῖθρα καὶ βῆσσαι γαίης [κ]αὶ πνεύματα, πάντα τὰ φύντα. οὐρανὸς ὑψιφαής σε τρέμει καὶ πᾶσα θάλασσα, κύριε, παντοκράτωρ ἅγιε καὶ δέσποτα πάντων. σῇ δυνάμει στοιχεῖα πέλει καὶ φύεθ' ἅπαντα, ἠελίου μήνης τε δρόμος νυκτός τε καὶ ἠοῦς, ἀέρι καὶ γαίᾳ καὶ ὕδατι καὶ πυρὸς ἀτμῷ. |
Who molded the forms of the beasts [of the Zodiac]? Who found [their] routes. Who was the begetter of fruits? Who raises up the mountains? Who commanded the winds to hold to their annual tasks? What Aion nourishing an Aion rules the Aions? One deathless god. You are the begetter of all and assign souls to all and control all, king of the Aions and lord, [before] whom mountains and plains together tremble, springs and streams of rivers and valleys of earth and spirits, and [all things] that are. High shining heaven trembles before you, and every sea, lord, ruler of all, holy one, and master of all. By your power the elements exist and all things come into being, the route of sun and moon, or night and dawn— all things in air and earth and water and the breath of fire. |
