| 10:1 | Καὶ εἶπεν Μαρδοχαῖς Παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐγένετο ταῦτα. |
| 10:1a | Ἔγραψεν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν τῆς γῆς καὶ τῆς θαλασσης. |
| 10:2 | ἐμνήσθην γὰρ περὶ τοῦ ἐνυπνίου οὗ κἶδον περὶ τῶν λόγων τούτων, οὐδέ γὰρ παρῆλθευ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν λόγος· |
| 10:2a | καὶ τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνδραγαθίαν, πλοῦτόν τε καὶ δόξαν τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, ἰδοὺ γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ βασιλέων Ιερσῶν καὶ Μήδων εἰς μνημόσυνον. |
| 10:3 | ἡ μικρὰ πηγὴ ἣ ἐγένετο ποταμός. καὶ ἦν φῶς καὶ ἥλιος καὶ ὕδωρ πολύ. Ἐσθήρ ἐστιν ὁ ποταμός, ἣν ἐγάμησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἐποίησεν βασίλισσαν· |
| 10:3a | ὁ δὲ Μαρδοχαῖος διεδέχετο τὸν βασιλέα Ἀρταξέρξην, καὶ μέγας ἦν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ καὶ δεδοξασμένος ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων· καὶ φιλούμενος διηγεῖτο τὴν ἀγωγὴν παντὶ τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ. |
| 10:4 | οἱ δὲ δύο δράκοντες, ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ Ἁμάν· |
| 10:5 | τὰ δὲ ἔθνη, τὰ ἐπισυναχθέντα ἀπολέσαι τὸ ὄνομα τῶν Ἰουδαίων· |
| 10:6 | τὸ δὲ ἔθνος τὸ ἐμόν, οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰσραὴλ οἱ βοήσαντες πρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ σωθέντες. καὶ ἔσωσεν Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐρρύσατο Κύριος ἡμᾶς ἐκ πάντων τῶν κακῶν τούτων· καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὰ σημεῖα καὶ τὰ τέρατα τὰ μεγάλα ἃ οὐ γέγονεν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν. |
| 10:7 | διὰ τοῦτο ἐποίησεν κλήρους δύο, ἕνα τῷ λαῷ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἕνα πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν· |
| 10:8 | καὶ ᾖλθον οἱ δύο κλῆροι οὗτοι εἰς ὥραν καὶ καιρὸν καὶ εἰς ἡμέραν κρίσεως ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, |
| 10:9 | καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ θεὸς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐδικαίωσεν τὴν κληρονομίαν ἑαυτοῦ. |
| 10:10 | καὶ ἔσονται αὐτοῖς αἱ ἡμέραι αὗται ἐν μηνὶ Ἀδάρ, τῇ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ καὶ τῇ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ αὐτοῦ μηνός, μετὰ συναγωγῆς καὶ χαρᾶς καὶ εὐφροσύνης ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ κατὰ γενεὰς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 10:11 | Ἔτους τετάρτου βασιλεύοντος Πτολεμαίου καὶ Κλεοπάτρας εἰσήνεγκεν Δοσίθεος, ὃς ἔφη εἶναι ἱερεὺς καὶ Λευείτης, καὶ Πτολεμαῖος ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν προκειμένην ἐπιστολὴν τῶν Φρουραί, ἣν ἔφασαν εἶναι καὶ ἑρμηνευκέναι Λυσίμαχον Πτολεμαίου τῶν ἐν 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.
