Incipit

"ܩܘܠܣܗܘܢ ܡܿܢ ܕܛ̈ܠܝܐ ܡܩ̈ܒܝܐ̣. ܕܡܛܠ ܫܒܝܚܘܬܐ ܕܬܟܬ̈ܘܫܝܗܘܢ̣. ܡܣ̣ܬܒܪ ܡܿܢ̣. ܕܗ̈ܘܠܣ ܥܬܝܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܗܘ̈ܢܐ ܝܗܿܒ ܠܗܿܢܘܢ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ."1 "L’éloge de jeunes Macchabées, à cause de la gloire de leurs combats, semble donner à ceux qui en parleront d’abondantes matières à penser."1

Explicit

"ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܚܝܪܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܣܒܪܐ ܗܿܘ ܫܒܝܚܐ. ܗܿܘ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܙܠܝܩܗ ܢܗ̣ܪܢܢ. ܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܒܡܪܚܡܢܘܬܗ ܕܗܿܘ ܕܠܗܕܐ ܩ̣ܪܢ. ܕܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ."1 "Car ils ne regardent pas le glorieux espoir de l’éclat duquel nous avons brillé, par la grâce et la miséricorde qui nous a appelés à cet espoir; à lui la gloire dans les siècles. Amen."1
