The text

| 1 | THE Middle Egyptian reader: Sinuhe, the Shipwrecked Sailor, Ptahhotep, Merikare, Neferti, the Eloquent Peasant and the Amenemhat instruction in hieroglyphic type with an apparatus — five of the texts wish-list entry 37 names, in one volume. It has NO TEXT LAYER AT ALL, so W-B2 verified it by rendering: page 3 is the title page, page 40 a full page of hieroglyphic text with a footnote apparatus. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
