| 1:1 | ΚΑΙ ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ ἔτει Κύρου τοῦ βασιλέως Περσῶν, τοῦ τελεσθῆναι ἀπὸ στόματος Ἰερεμίου, ἐξήγειρεν τὸ πνεῦμα Κύρου βασιλέως Περσῶν, καὶ παρήγγειλεν φωνὴν ἐν πάσῃ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ καί γε ἐν γραπτῷ λέγων |
| 1:2 | Οὕτως εἶπεν Κῦρος βασιλεὺς Περσῶν Πάσας τὰς βασιλείας ἔδωκέν μοι ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπεσκέψατό με ἐπʼ ἐμὲ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἶκον ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ τῇ ἐν Ἰούδα. |
| 1:3 | τίς ἐν ὑμῖν ἀπὸ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ ; καὶ ἔσται ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀναβήσεται εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ. |
| 1:4 | καὶ πᾶς ὁ καταλειπόμενος ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν τόπων οὗ αὐτὸς παροικεῖ ἐκεῖ, καὶ λήμψονται αὐτὸν ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀργυρίῳ καὶ χρυσίῳ καὶ ἀποσκευῇ καὶ κτήνεσιν μετὰ τοῦ ἑκουσίου εἰς οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ. |
| 1:5 | καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν τῷ Ἰούδᾳ καὶ Βενιαμεὶν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται, πάντων ὧν ἐξήγειρεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῶν τοῦ ἀναβῆναι οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον τὸν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ. |
| 1:6 | καὶ πάντες οἱ κυκλόθεν ἐνίσχυσαν ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν ἐν σκεύεσιν ἀργυρίου, ἐν χρυσῷ, ἐν ἀποσκευῇ καὶ ἐν κτήνεσιν καὶ ἐν ξενίοις, παρὲξ τῶν ἑκουσίων. |
| 1:7 | καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Κῦρος ἐξήνεγκεν τὰ σκεύη οἴκου, ἃ ἔλαβεν Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ ἐν οἴκῳ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ· |
| 1:8 | καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν αὐτὰ Κῦρος βασιλεὺς Περσῶν ἐπὶ χεῖρα Μιθραδάτου Τασβαρηνοῦ, καὶ ἠρίθμησεν αὐτὰ τῷ Σαβανασὰρ ἄρχοντι τοῦ Ἰούδα. |
| 1:9 | καὶ οὗτος ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν· Κυρίῳ χρυσοῖ τριάκοντα καὶ ἀργυροῖ χίλιοι, παρηγμένα ἐννέα καὶ εἴκοσι, |
| 1:10 | κεφφουρῆς χρυσοῖ τριάκοντα καὶ ἀργυροῖ ἕξ, καὶ σκεύη ἕτερα χίλια. |
| 1:11 | πάντα τὰ σκεύη τῷ χρυσῷ καὶ τῷ ἀργυρῷ πεντακισχίλια καὶ τετρακόσια, τὰ πάντα ἀναβαίνοντα ἀπα τῆς ἀποικίας ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ. |

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.
