"Ek rizis agathis" is the first of two Stichera for Vespers commemorating St. Symeon the Styiite, who is celebrated on September 1st. Kassia's music serves as the vehicle for her beautiful and virtuous lyrics of praise for St. Symeon: "From a good root, a good fruit has grown." This is one of Kassia's few hymns praising male saints.

Translation:
From a good root a good fruit has grown Simeon, holy from birth, you were nourished on grace rather than milk; and you lined your body high upon a pillar, and your thoughts even higher towards God, you lodged on high and lived with the virtues, and walked on air together with the Divine Powers. You became a dwelling place of Christ God and Saviour of our souls.
