| 8:1 | Καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἰούδας τὸ ὄνομα τῶν Ῥωμαίων, ὅτι εἰσὶν δυνατοὶ ἐν ἰσχύι, καὶ αὐτοὶ εὐδοκοῦσιν ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς προστεθειμένοις αὐτοῖς, καὶ ὅσοι ἐὰν προστεθῶσιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ὅσοι ἐὰν προσέλθωσιν αὐτοῖς, ἱστῶσιν αὐτοῖς φιλίαν, |
| 8:2 | καὶ ὅτι εἰσὶν δυνατοὶ ἰσχύι· καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτῷ τοὺς πολέμοις αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς ἀνδραγαθίας ἃς ποιοῦσιν ἐν τοῖς Γαλάταις, καὶ ὅτι κατεκράτησαν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτοὺς ὑπὸ φόρον· |
| 8:3 | καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησαν ἐν χώρᾳ Σπανίας, τοῦ κατακρατῆσαι τῶν μετάλλων τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου τοῦ ἐκεῖ, |
| 8:4 | καὶ κατεκράτησαν τοῦ τόπου παντὸς τῇ βουλῇ αὐτῶν καὶ τῇ μακροθυμίᾳ—καὶ ὁ τόπος ἦν μακρὰν ἀπέχων ἀπʼ αὐτῶν σφόδρα—καὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῶν ἐπελθόντων ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἀπʼ ἄκρου τῆς γῆς, ἕως συνέτριψαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν αὐτοῖς πληγὴν μεγάλην, καὶ οἱ ἐπίλοιποι διδόασιν αὐτοῖς φόρον κατʼ ἐνιαυτόν· |
| 8:5 | καὶ τὸν Φίλιππον καὶ τὸν Περσέα Κιτιέων βασιλέα καὶ τοὺς ἐπηρμένους ἐπʼ αὐτούς, συνέτριψαν αὐτοὺς πολέμῳ καὶ κατεκράτησαν αὐτῶν· |
| 8:6 | καὶ Ἀντίοχον τὸν μέγαν βασιλέα τῆς Ἀσίας τὸν πορευθέντα ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς εἰς πόλεμον ἔχοντα ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι ἐλέφαντας καὶ ἵππον καὶ ἅρματα καὶ δύναμιν πολλὴν σφόδρα, καὶ συνετρίβη ἀπʼ αὐτῶν· |
| 8:7 | καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὸν ζῶντα, καὶ ἔστησαν αὐτοῖς διδόναι αὐτόν τε καὶ τοὺς βασιλεύοντας μετʼ αὐτὸν φόρον μέγαν. καὶ διδόναι ὅμηρα καὶ διαστολήν, |
| 8:8 | καὶ χώραν τὴν Ἰνδικὴν καὶ Μηδίαν καὶ Λυδίαν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν καλλίστων χωρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ λαβόντες αὐτὰς παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἔδωκαν αὐτὰς Εύμενεῖ τῷ βασιλεῖ· |
| 8:9 | καὶ ὅτι οἱ ἐκ τῆς Ἑλλάδος ἐβουλεύσαντο ἐλθεῖν καὶ ἐξᾶραι αὐτούς, |
| 8:10 | καὶ ἐγνώσθη ὁ λόγος αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς στρατηγὸν ἕνα, καὶ ἐπολέμησαν πρὸς αὐτούς, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν τραυματίαι πολλοί, καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπρονόμενσαν αὐτούς, καὶ κατεκράτησαν τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν, καὶ καθεῖλον τὰ ἀχυρώματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν αὐτούς καὶ κατεδουλώσαντο αὐτοὺς ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης. |
| 8:11 | καὶ τὰς ἐπιλοίπους βασιλείας, καὶ τὰς νήσους, ὅσοι ποτὲ ἀνέστησαν αὐτοῖς, κατεφθειραν καὶ ἐδούλωσαν αὐτοῖς· |
| 8:12 | μετὰ δέ τῶν φίλων αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἐπαναπαυομένων αὐτοῖς συνετήρησαν αὐτοῖς φιλίαν, καὶ κατεκράτησαν τῶν βασιλειῶν τῶν ἐγγὺς καὶ τῶν μακράν· καὶ ὅσοι ἤκουσαν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐφοβοῦντο ἀπʼ αὐτῶν· |
| 8:13 | οἷς δʼ ἂν βούλωνται βοηθεῖν καὶ βασιλεύειν, βασιλεύσουσιν· οὓς δ᾿ ἃν βούλωνται, μεθιστῶσιν, καὶ ὑψώθησαν σφόδρα. |
| 8:14 | καὶ ἐν ἅποσιν τούτοις οὐκ ἐπέθεντο οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν διάδημα, καὶ οὐ περιεβάλοντο πορφύραν, ὥστε ἁδρυνθῆναι ἐν αὐτῇ. |
| 8:15 | καὶ βουλευτήριον ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς, καὶ καθʼ ἡμέραν ἐβουλεύοντο τριακόσιοι καὶ εἴκοσι, βουλευόμενοι διὰ παντὸς περὶ τοῦ πλήθους, τοῦ εὐκοσμεῖν ἑαυτούς. |
| 8:16 | καὶ πιστεύουσιν ἑνὶ ἀνθρώπῳ ἄρχειν αὐτῶν κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ κυριεύειν πάσης τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν, καὶ πάντες ἀκούουσιν τοῦ ἑνός, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν φθόνος οὔτε ζῆλος ἐν αὐτοῖς. |
| 8:17 | Καὶ ἐπέλεξεν Ἰούδας τὸν Εὐπόλεμον υἱὸν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Ἁκχὼς καὶ Ἰάσονα υἱὸν Ἐλεαζάρου, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ῥώμην, στῆσαι αὐτοῖς φιλίαν καὶ συμμαχίαν, |
| 8:18 | καὶ τοῦ ἆραι τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἴδον τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν Ἐλλήνων καταδουλουμένους τὸν Ἰσραὴλ δουλίαν. |
| 8:19 | καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς Ῥώμην, καὶ ἡ ὁδὸς πολλὴ σφόδρα· καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὸ βουλευτήριον, καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν |
| 8:20 | Ἰούδας ὁ καὶ Μακκαβαῖος καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν Ἰουδαίων απέστειλαν ἡμᾶς πρὸς ὑμᾶς, στῆσαι μεθʼ ὑμῶν συμμαχίαν καὶ εἰρήνην, καὶ γραφῆναι ἡμᾶς συμμάχους καὶ φίλους ὑμῶν. |
| 8:21 | καὶ ἤρεσεν ὁ λόγος ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν. |
| 8:22 | καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἀντίγραφον τῆς γραφῆς ἧς ἀντέγραψαν ἐπὶ δέλτοις χαλκαῖς καὶ ἀπέστειλαν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἶναι παρʼ αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖ μνημόσυνον εἰρήνης καὶ συμμαχίας |
| 8:23 | Καλῶς γένοιτο Ῥωμαίοις καὶ τῷ ἔθνει τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς ξηρᾶς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ ῥομφαία καὶ ἐχθρὸς μακρυχθείη ἀπʼ αὐτῶν. |
| 8:24 | ἐὰν δὲ ἐνστῇ πόλεμος Ῥώμῃ προτέρᾳ ἢ πᾶσι τοῖς συμμάχοις αὐτῶν ἐν πάσῃ κυρίᾳ αὐτῶν· |
| 8:25 | συμμαχήσει τὸ ἔθνος τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ὡς ἂν ὁ καιρὸς ὑπογραφῇ αὐτοῖς, καρδίᾳ πλήρει. |
| 8:26 | καὶ τοῖς πολεμοῦσιν οὐ δώσουσιν οὐδὲ ἐπαρκέσουσιν σῖτον, ὅπλα, ἀργύριον, πλοῖα, ὡς ἔδοξεν Ῥώμῃ· καὶ φυλάξονται τὰ φυλάγματα αὐτῶν οὐθὲν λαβόντες. |
| 8:27 | κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ δέ, ἐὰν ἔθνει Ἰουδαίων συμβῇ προτέροις πόλεμος, συμμαχήσουσιν οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι ἐκ ψυχῆς, ὡς ἂν αὐτοῖς ὁ καιρὸς ὑπογράφῃ. |
| 8:28 | καὶ τοῖς συμμαχοῖσιν οὐ δοθήσεται σῖτος, ὅπλα, ἀργύριον, ὡς ἔδοξεν Ῥώμῃ· καὶ φυλάξονται τὰ φυλάγματα ταῦτα, καὶ οὐ μετὰ δόλου. |
| 8:29 | κατὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους οὕτως ἔστησαν Ῥωμαῖοι τῷ δήμῳ τῶν Ἰουδαίων. |
| 8:30 | ἐὰν δὲ μετὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους βουλεύσωνται οὗτοι καὶ οὗτοι προσθεῖναι ἢ ἀφελεῖν, ποιήσονται ἐξ αἰρέσεως αὐτῶν, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν προσθῶσιν ἢ ἀφέλωσιν ἔσται κύρια. |
| 8:31 | καὶ περὶ τῶν κακῶν ὧν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δημήτριος συντελεῖται εἰς αὐτούς, ἐγράψαμεν αὐτῷ λέγοντες Διὰ τί ἐβάρυνας τὸν ζυγόν σου ἐπὶ τοὺς φίλους ἡμῶν τοὺς συμμάχους Ἰουδαίους; |
| 8:32 | ἐὰν οὖν ἔτι ἐντύχωσιν κατὰ σοῦ, ποιήσομεν αὐτοῖς τὴν κρίσιν, καὶ πολεμήσομέν σε διὰ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ διὰ τῆς ξηρᾶς. |

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.
