Therefore let me approach, blessed Polycarp. πάνυ ωνημ·····ηsi πρὸς κύριον ····· νημωνε·····εν. των π··········πο·····μεν ····· IV lineae evanuerunt π·ρ τοῦ ·····ωσον την ·····ντ· τουι·····θε···αν·····τατο····· will wish the pious to grow and to advance through teaching toward piety, so that having thus conducted our lives we may be deemed worthy of the inheritance of the heavens by your prayers and intercessions and of all those who contended with you by the grace of Christ, with whom be the glory to the Father with the Holy Spirit unto the ages of ages. Amen.
