ΑΜΦΙΛΟΧΙῼ ΕΠΙΣΚΟΠῼ ΙΚΟΝΙΟΥ
(…………)
Τῆς μνήμης τοῦ μακαριωτάτου μάρτυρος Εὐψυχίου μέμνησο καὶ μὴ ἀναμείνῃς δευτέραν ὑπόμνησιν, μηδὲ ἐμπρόθεσμον σπουδάσῃς ποιήσασθαι τὴν ἀπάντησιν, ἀλλὰ προλαβεῖν καὶ εὐφρᾶναι ἡμᾶς, ἐὰν ἄρα ἔτι ὦμεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. Ἕως τότε ἐρρωμένος ἐν Κυρίῳ, ὑπερευχόμενος ἡμῶν, διαφυλαχθείης ἡμῖν καὶ ταῖς τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἐκκλησίαις χάριτι τοῦ Ἁγίου.
‘To Amphilochios, Bishop of Ikonion
(…………) Remember the feast of the blessed martyr Eupsychios, and do not await a second reminder, nor strive to arrive on the appointed day, but anticipate it and make us happy—if indeed we shall still be on this earth. Until then, strong in the Lord and with prayers for us, may you be preserved to us and to God’s churches by the grace of the Holy One.’
Text: Courtonne, vol. 2, p. 164-166.
