[B-Greek] Greek trivia: all the letters...

I just ran across a note from Bruce Metzger to the effect that 1 Peter
3:19-20 contains all the letters of the Greek alphabet (*Interpretation,* 1
[1947] 473, citing Georg Pasor--one of the oldest Greek grammars, 1655).

Although this passage might be useful the first day of class, it's not an
ideal passage for beginners, even for an inductive approach. Does anyone
know of other *short* texts which contain all the letters of the Greek
alphabet? (The shorter, the better.)
