Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Aemilianus of Caria and John with him, Rufinus of Alexandria and Agathias of Asia having completed the fourth year of their legal studies, O Archangel, dedicated to thee, O Blessed One, thy painted image, praying that their future may be happy. Make thyself manifest in thy direction of their hopes.
