| 70 | In quoting the lines of the papyri, the numbers given on the |
| 71 | plates of transcription should be followed, not those of the facsimiles. |
| 72 | "Kahun Papyri" and "Gurob Papyri" are convenient titles for the |
| 73 | two portions of the collection respectively. |

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.
