Greek (Ancient) term (edited):
Στο πρώτο φύλλο τση καρδιάς ...
Selected
On the first sheet / leaf of the heart
Sorry, I can't add all this as a comment to Joseph's answer, so I'll take up my own frame.
This is a Cretan mantinada.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantinada
The complete mantinada is:
Στο πρώτο φύλλο τση καρδιάς έγραψα τ’ όνομά σας
κι άμα θ’ ανοίξω δεύτερο θα δω τη ζωγραφιά σας.
I'm not sure whether φύλλο here is leaf or sheet, but word for word it says:
On the first sheet / leaf of the heart I wrote your name
and if I open a second one I'll see your picture.

I wrote your name on the first leaf of her heart and at the same time I shall open a second (leaf) to give her.
Such is my best guess, for the Greek is modern, not ancient.
