Mosaic of Christ Pantocrator: Translation?

[detoutcoeur]

Would anyone be able to translate what’s written on the perimeter of the mosaic of Christ Pantocrator? It’s from the Church of La Martorana in Palermo?

If you zoom in, the letters are easily read:

Many thanks for any help!

It begins “I am the Light of the world”… give me a moment

Oh. DUH: “Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” It’s John 8:12.

Ah, John 8:12–thank you so much, aspirant! So it begins after the cross above His head, and runs counter-clockwise. Would this be the complete text?

12 ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· “I am the light of the world.”

ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλ᾽ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς. “Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

You got it!
