65The scale of the Autotype facsimiles is two-thirds of the
66original.
67In the plates of transcription those portions that in the original
68are written with red ink are underlined, or, if the writing is in a
69vertical column, a line is drawn on the right side of it.
70In quoting the lines of the papyri, the numbers given on the
71plates of transcription should be followed, not those of the facsimiles.
72"Kahun Papyri" and "Gurob Papyri" are convenient titles for the
73two portions of the collection respectively.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
L0.5 transliteration
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).
L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
