Need help verifying Greek text on an icon's scroll (St. Auxentios of Katirli)

Hello everyone! Could someone familiar with Byzantine/Church Greek help me verify the text on the scroll in the attached image?

Based on zooming in, my best guess for the text is:

"ΛΟΓΟΣ ΠΕΡΙ ΤΟ ΑΝΑΒΑΠΤΙΖΕΙΝ ΤΟΥΣ ΠΡΟΣΕΡΧΟΜΕΝΟΥΣ ΕΚ ΤΗΣ ΛΑΤΙΝΙΚΗΣ Κ[ΑΙ] ΑΡΜΕΝΙΚΗΣ ΕΝ ΤΗ ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΩ ΕΚΚΛΗΣΙΑ"

I want to be absolutely sure this transcription is accurate and grammatically correct because I am preparing to paint an icon of this saint, and this is the only reference photo I have.

For a bit of context, the figure is Saint Auxentios of Andros (or Katirli), an 18th-century ascetic who played a major role in the 1755 decree regarding the strict rebaptism of Catholics and Armenians converting to Orthodoxy.
