Ἅγιος ὁ ναός σου, κύριε, θαυμαστὸς ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ. Προνοίᾳ Γεωργίου ἐνδοξοτάτου ἰλλουστρίου καὶ σὺν Θεῷ παντεπιτρόπου καὶ Φιλίππου μεγαλοπρεπεστάτου κόμητος καὶ ἐπιτρόπου ἐγένετο τὸ πᾶν ἔργον μηνὶ Ἀρτεμισίῳ ἔτους ϛμχ’.

Translation

Holy is your temple, o Lord, admirable in justice. By the providence of Georgius, the most glorious and illustrious and – with the help of god – supercurator, and of Philippus, the most magnificent count and curator, the whole work was finished in the month Artemision in the year 646.
