I thought this would be bilingual, but alas Romanos' book is monolingual. Still, I can imagine hearing this chanted:
Ἐπέστης έν τῶ τάφω τοῦ Λαζάρου, κύριε,
καὶ τοῦτον τετραήμερον ἐκ νεκπῶν ἀνέστησας
δεσμεύσας τὸν Ἅιδηω, δυωατε.
Μαρίασ δὲ καὶ Μἀρθας οἰκτείρας τὰ δάκρνα
ἐβόας πρὸσ αὐτάσ.
|:῞Ἀναστήσεται καὶ στἠσεται λέγων.
῾σὺ εἶ ζωὴ καὶ ἀνάστασις.' " :|
(Yes, I know the circumflex is not typed correctly on a couple of letters, not to mention the little iota, but I'm still fooling around with this keyboard layout.)
Guess it's more motivation to learn Attic/Koine, but it is irritating that I wanted to have an English translation of Romanos the Melodist on hand so I can appreciate better this hymn/sermon on the raising of Lazarus.
Ever had that happen when you wanted a translation or at least a bilingual work and you got the original in a language you can barely understand, if at all?

It's riddled with typos.

Yeah, I gave up on proofreading after laboriously typing that for 15 minutes

It looks like fairly simple Byzantine Greek

You mean specific sellers who only ship inside Germany?
