| 12:1 | Καὶ ἴδεν Ἰωναθὰν ὅτι ὁ καιρὸς αὐτῷ συνεργεῖ, καὶ ἐπέλεξεν ἄνδρας, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς Ῥώμην στῆσαι καὶ ἀνανεῶσαι τὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς φιλίαν· |
| 12:2 | καὶ πρὸς Σπαρτιάτας καὶ τόπους ἑτέρους ἀπέστειλεν ἐπιστολὰς κατὰ ταὐτά. |
| 12:3 | καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς Ρώμην, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς τὸ βουλευτήριον, καὶ εἶπαν Ἰωναθὰν ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ τὸ ἔθνος τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἀπέστειλαν ἡμᾶς ἀνανεώσασθαι τὴν φιλίαν αὐτοῖς καὶ τὴν συμμαχίαν κατὰ τὸ πρότερον. |
| 12:4 | καὶ ἔδωκαν ἐπιστολὰς αὐτοῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς κατὰ τόπον, ὅπως προπέμπωσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα μετ᾿ εἰρήνης. |
| 12:5 | καὶ τοῦτο ἀντίγραφον τῶν ἐπιστολῶν ὦν ἔγραψεν Ἰωναθὰν τοῖς Σπαρτιάταις |
| 12:6 | Ἰωναθὰν ἀρχιερεὺς τοῦ ἔθνους καὶ ἡ γερουσία καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ ὁ λοιπὸς δῆμος τῶν Ἰουδαίων Σπαρτιάταις τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς χαίρειν. |
| 12:7 | ἔτι πρότερον ἀπεστάλησαν ἐπιστολαὶ πρὸς Ὀνίαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα, παρὰ δʼ Ἀρείου τοῦ βασιλεύοντος ἐν ὑμῖν, ὅτι ἐστὲ ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν, ὡς τὸ ἀντίγραφον ὑπόκειται. |
| 12:8 | καὶ ἐπεδέξατο Ὀνίας τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν ἀπεσταλμένον ἐνδόξως, καὶ ἔλαβεν τὰς ἐπιστολάς, ἐν αἷς διεσαφεῖτο περὶ συμμαχίας καὶ φιλίας. |
| 12:9 | καὶ ἡμεῖς οὗν ἀπροσδεεῖς τούτων ὄντες, παράκλησιν ἔχοντες τὰ βιβλία τὰ ἅγια τὰ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν ἡμῶν, |
| 12:10 | ἐπειράθημεν ἀποστεῖλαι τὴν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἀδελφότητα καὶ φιλίαν ἀνανεώσασθαι, πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἐξαλλοτριωθῆναι ὑμῶν· πολλοὶ γὰρ καιροὶ διῆλθον ἀφʼ οὗ ἀπεστείλατε πρὸς ἡμᾶς. |
| 12:11 | ἡμεῖς οὗν ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἀδιαλείπτως ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς λοιπαῖς καθηκούσαις ἡμέραις μιμνησκόμεθα ὑμῶν, ἐφʼ ὧν προσφέρομεν θυσιῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς προσευχαῖς, ὡς δέον ἐστὶν καὶ πρέπον μνημονεύειν ἀδελφῶν. |
| 12:12 | εὐφραινόμεθα δὲ ἐπὶ τῇ δόξῃ ὑμῶν. |
| 12:13 | ἡμᾶς δὲ ἐκύκλωσαν πολλαὶ θλίψεις καὶ πόλεμοι πολλοί, καὶ ἐπολέμησαν ἡμᾶς οἱ βασιλεῖς οἱ κύκλῳ ἡμῶν. |
| 12:14 | οὐκ ἠβουλόμεθα οὖν παρενοχλεῖν ὑμῖν καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς συμμάχους καὶ φίλους ἡμῶν ἐν τοῖς πολέμοις τούτοις. |
| 12:15 | ἔχομεν γὰρ τὴν ἐξ οὐρανῶν βοηθίαν βοηθοῦσαν ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐρύσθημεν ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐταπεινώθησαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν. |
| 12:16 | ἐπελέξαμεν οὗν Νουμήνιον Ἀντιόχου καὶ Ἀντίπατρον Ἰάσονος, καὶ ἀπεστάλκαμεν πρὸς Ῥωμαίους ἀνανεώσασθαι τὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς φιλίαν καὶ συμμαχίαν τὴν πρότερον. |
| 12:17 | ἐνετειλάμεθα οὖν αὐτοῖς καὶ πρὸς ὑμᾶς πορευθῆναι καὶ ἀσπάσασθαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἀποδοῦναι ὑμῖν τὰς παρʼ ἡμῶν ἐπιστολὰς περὶ τῆς ἀνανεώσεως καὶ τῆς ἀδελφότητος ἡμῶν. |
| 12:18 | καὶ νῦν καλῶς ποιήσετε ἀντιφωνήσαντες ἡμῖν πρὸς ταῦτα. |
| 12:19 | Καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἀντίγραφον τῶν ἐπιστολῶν ὧν ἀπέστειλαν Ὀνείᾳ |
| 12:20 | Ἄρης βασιλεὺς Σπαρτιατῶν Ὀνείᾳ ἱερεῖ μεγάλῳ χαίρειν. |
| 12:21 | εὑρέθη ἐν γραφῇ περί τε τῶν Σπαρτιατῶν καὶ Ἰουδαίων, ὅτι ἀδελφοὶ εἰσίν, καὶ ὅτι εἰσὶν ἐκ γένους Ἀβραάμ. |
| 12:22 | καὶ νῦν ἀφʼ οὐ ἔγνωμεν ταῦτα, καλῶς ποιήσετε γράφοντες ἡμῖν περὶ τῆς εἰρήνης ὑμῶν. |
| 12:23 | καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ ἀντιγράφομεν ὑμῖν Tὰ κτήνη ὑμῶν καὶ ἡ ὕπαρξις ὑμῶν ἡμῖν ἐστιν, καὶ τὰ ἡμῶν ὑμῖν ἐστιν· ἐντελλόμεθα οὗν ὅπως ἀπαγγείλωσιν ὑμῖν κατὰ τὰ αὐτά. |
| 12:24 | Καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἰωναθὰν ὅτι ἐπέστρεψαν οἱ ἄρχοντες Δημητρίου μετὰ δυνάμεως πολλῆς ὑπέρ τὸ πρότερον τοῦ πολεμῆσαι πρὸς αὐτόν. |
| 12:25 | καὶ ἀπῆρεν ἐξ Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἀπήντησεν αὐτοῖς εἰς τὴν Ἁμαθειτιν χώραν· οὐ γὰρ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἀνοχὴν τοῦ ἐμβατεῦσαι εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτοῦ. |
| 12:26 | καὶ ἀπέστειλεν κατασκόπους εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν, καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ ὅτι Οὕτως τάσσονται ἐπιπεσεῖν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τὴν νύκτα. |
| 12:27 | ὡς δὲ ἔδυ ὁ ἥλιος, ἐπέταξεν Ἰωναθὰν τοῖς παρʼ αὐτοῦ γρηγορεῖν καὶ εἶναι ἐπὶ τοῖς ὅπλαις, ἑτοιμάζεσθαι εἰς πόλεμον δι᾿ ὅλης τῆς νυκτός· καὶ ἐξέβαλεν προφύλακας κύκλῳ τῆς παρεμβολῆς. |
| 12:28 | καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ὑπεναντίοι ὅτι ἡτοίμασται Ἰωναθὰν καὶ οἱ παρʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν καὶ ἔπτηξαν τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνέκαυσαν πυρὰς ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ αὐτῶν. |
| 12:29 | Ἰωναθὰν δὲ καὶ οἱ παρʼ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἕως πρωί ἔβλεπον γὰρ τὰ φῶτα καιόμενα. |
| 12:30 | καὶ κατεδίωξεν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐκατελαβεν αὐτούς, διέβησαν γὰρ τὸν Ἐλεύθερον ποταμόν. |
| 12:31 | καὶ ἐξέκλινεν Ἰωναθὰν ἐπὶ τοὺς Ἄραβας τοὺς καλουμένους Ζαβαδαίους, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἔλαβεν τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν. |
| 12:32 | καὶ ἀναζεύξας ᾖλθεν εἰς Δαμασκόν, καὶ διώδευσεν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ χώρᾳ. |
| 12:33 | καὶ Σίμων ἐξῆλθεν καὶ διώδευσεν ἕως Ἀσκάλωνος, καὶ τὰ πλησίον ὀχυρώματα, καὶ ἐξέκλινεν εἰς Ἰόππην καὶ προκατελάβετο αὐτήν. |
| 12:34 | ἤκουσεν γὰρ ὅτι βούλονται τὸ ὀχύρωμα παραδοῦναι τοῖς παρὰ Δημητρίου, καὶ ἔθετο ἐκεῖ φρουράν, ὅπως φυλάσσωσιν αὐτήν. |
| 12:35 | Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἰωναθὰν καὶ 'ξεκκλησίασεν τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο μετʼ αὐτῶν τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι ὀχυρώματα ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαία, |
| 12:36 | καὶ προσυψῶσαι τὰ τείχη Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὑψῶσαι ὕψος μέγα ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς ἄκρας καὶ τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὸ διαχωρίσαι αὐτὴν τῆς πόλεως, ἵνα ἡ αὕτη κατὰ μόνας, ὅπως μήτε ἀγοράζωσιν μήτε πωλῶσιν. |
| 12:37 | καὶ συνήχθησαν τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν, καὶ ἔπεσεν τοῦ τείχους τοῦ χειμάρρου τοῦ ἐξ ἀπηλιώτου, καὶ ἐπεσκεύασεν τὸ καλούμενον Χαφεναθά. |
| 12:38 | καὶ Σίμων ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Ἁδιδὰ ἐν τῆ σεφηλά, καὶ ὠχύρωσεν θύρας καὶ μοχλούς. |
| 12:39 | Καὶ ἐζήτησεν Τρύφων βασιλεῦσαι τῆς Ἀσίας καὶ περιθέσθαι τὸ διάδημα καὶ ἐκτεῖναι χεῖρας ἐπὶ Ἀντίοχον τὸν βασιλέα. |
| 12:40 | καὶ ηὐλαβήθη μή ποτε οὐκ ἐάσῃ αὐτὸν Ἰωναθὰν καὶ μὴ ποτε πολεμήσῃ πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐζήτει πόρον τοῦ συλλαββεῖν αὐτὸν τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι· καὶ ἀπάρας ἦλθεν εἰς Βεθσά. |
| 12:41 | καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωναθὰν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῷ ἐν τεσσεράκοντα χιλιάσιν ἀνδρῶν ἐπιλελεγμέναις εἰς παράταξιν, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Βεθσά. |
| 12:42 | καὶ εἶδεν Τρύφων ὅτι πάρεστιν μετὰ δυνάμεως πολλῆς, καὶ ἐκτεῖναι χεῖρας ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ηὐλαβήθη. |
| 12:43 | καὶ ἐπεδέξατο αὐτὸν ἐνδόξως, καὶ συνέστησεν αὐτὸν πᾶσιν τοῖς φίλοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ δόματα, καὶ ἐπέταξεν τοῖς φίλοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ταῖς δυνάμεσιν αὐτοῦ ὑπακούειν αὐτῷ ὡσαύτως. |
| 12:44 | καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ἰωναθάν Ἵνα τί ἔκοψας πάντα τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον πολέμου μὴ ἐνεστηκότος ἡμῖν; |
| 12:45 | καὶ νῦν ἀπόστειλον αὐτοὺς εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν, ἐπίλεξον δέ σεαυτῷ ἄνδρας ὀλίγους οἴτιωες ἔσονται μετὰ σοῦ· καὶ δεῦρο μετʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς Πτολεμαίδα, καὶ παραδώσω σοι αὐτὴν καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ὀχυρώματα καὶ τὰς δυνάμεις τὰς πολλὰς καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἐπὶ τῶν χρειῶν, καὶ ἐπιστρέψας ἀπελεύσομαι· τούτου γὰρ χάριν πάρειμι. |
| 12:46 | καὶ ἐμπιστεύσας αὐτῷ ἐποίησεν καθὼς εἶπεν, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν τὰς δυνάμεις, καὶ ἀπῆλθον εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα. |
| 12:47 | κατέλειπεν δὲ μεθʼ ἑαυτοῦ ἄνδρας τρισχιλίους· ὡς δισχιλίους ἀφῆκεν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ, χίλιοι δὲ συνῆλθον αὐτῷ. |
| 12:48 | Ὡς δὲ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰωναθὰν εἰς Πτολεμαίδα, ἀπέκλεισαν οἱ Πτολεμαῖται τὰς πύλας, καὶ συνέλαβον αὐτόν, καὶ πάντας τοὺς συνελθόντας μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἀπέκτειναν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ. |
| 12:49 | καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Τρύφων δυνάμεις καὶ ἵππον εἰς Γαλιλαίαν εἰς τὸ πεδίον τὸ μέγα, τοῦ ἀπολέσαι πάντας τοὺς παρὰ Ἰωνάθου. |
| 12:50 | καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὅτι συνελήμφθη καὶ ἀπόλωλεν, καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ παρεκάλεσαν ἑαυτούς, καὶ ἐπορεύοντο συνεστραμμένοι ἕτοιμοι εἰς πόλεμον. |
| 12:51 | καὶ ἴδον οἱ διώκοντες ὅτι περὶ ψυχῆς ἐστιν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν. |
| 12:52 | καὶ ἦλθον πάντες μετ᾿ εἰρήνης εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐπένθησαν τὸν Ἰωναθὰν καὶ τοὺς μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα· καὶ ἐπένθησεν Ἰσραὴλ πένθος μέγα. |
| 12:53 | καὶ ἐζήτησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῶν ἐκτρίψαι αὐτοὺς· εἶπαν γάρ Οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἄνδρα ἄρχοντα καὶ βοηθοῦντα· νῦν οὖν πολεμήσωμενν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξαροῦμεν ἐξ ἀνθρόπων τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν. |

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.
