To Pompianos.
Pompianos performs a strange procession,
From the sea towards the wide heavens.

The water of the sea was salty Galation,
For sweetness it seems to have had milk.
For sweetness it seems to have had milk.
To Juliana and Satorninos.
The youth of Juliana and her child,
Blossoms just as the fire consumes.
Blossoms just as the fire consumes.
The Holy Martyr Pompianos met his end by being cast into the sea.
