| 15:1 | Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἀντίοχος υἱὸς Δημητρίου τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπιστολὰς ἀπὸ τῶν νήσων τῆς θαλάσσης Σίμωνι ἱερεῖ καὶ ἐθνάρχῃ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ παντὶ τῷ ἔθνει. |
| 15:2 | καὶ ἦσαν περιέχουσαι τὸν τρόπον τοῦτον Βασιλεὺς Ἀντίοχος Σίμωνι ἱερεῖ μεγάλῳ καὶ ἐθνάρχῃ καὶ ἔθνει Ἰουδαίων χαίρειν. |
| 15:3 | ἐπειδή τινες λοιμοὶ κατεκράτησαν τῆς βασιλείας τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, βουλεύομαι δὲ ἀντιποιήσασθαι τῆς βασιλείας, ὅπαως ἀποκαταστήσω αὐτὴν ὡς ἦν τὸ πρότερον· ἐξενολόγησα δὲ πλῆθος δυνάμεων καὶ κατεσκεύασα πλοῖα πολεμικά· |
| 15:4 | βούλομαι δὲ ἐκβῆναι κατὰ τὴν χώραν, ὅπως μετέλθω τοὺς κατεφθαρκότας τὴν χώραν ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἠρημωκότας πόλεις πολλὰς ἐν τῇ βασιλεία· |
| 15:5 | νῦν οὗν ἵστημί σοι πάντα τὰ ἀφαιρέματα ἃ ἀφῆκάν σοι οἱ πρὸ ἐμοῦ βασιλεῖς, καὶ ὅσα ἄλλα ἀφαιρέματα ἀφῆκάν σοι |
| 15:6 | ποιῆσαι κόμμα ἴδιον νόμισμα τῆς χώρας σου· |
| 15:7 | Ἰερουσαλὴμ δέ καὶ τὰ ἅγια εἶναι ἐλεύθερα· καὶ πάντα τὰ ὅπλα ὅσα κατεσκεύασας, καὶ τὰ ὀχυρώματα ἃ ᾠκοδόμησας, ὅν κρατεῖς, μενέτω σοι. |
| 15:8 | καὶ πᾶν ὀφείλημα βασιλικὸν καὶ τὰ ἐσόμενα βασιλικά, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ εἰς τὸν ἅπαντα χρόνον, ἀφιέσθω σοι. |
| 15:9 | ὡς δʼ ἃν καταστήσωμεν τὴν βασιλείαν ἡμῶν, δοξάσωμέν σε καὶ τὸ ἔθνος σου καὶ τὸ ἱερὸν δόξῃ μεγάλῃ, ὥστε φανερὰν γενέσθαι τὴν δόξαν ὑμῶν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ῆ. |
| 15:10 | Ἔτους τετάρτου καὶ ἑβδομηκοστοῦ καὶ ἑκατοστοῦ ἐξῆλθεν Ἀντίοχος εἰς τὴν γῆν τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνῆλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσαι αἱ δυνάμεις, ὥστε ὀλίγους εἶναι σὺν Τρύφωνι. |
| 15:11 | καὶ ἐδίωξεν αὐτὸν Ἀντίοχος ὁ βασιλεύς, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Δωρὰ φεύγων τὴν ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν. |
| 15:12 | ᾔδει γὰρ ὅτι ἐπισυνῆκται ἐπʼ αὐτὸν κακά, καὶ ἀφῆκαν αὐτὸν αἱ δυνάμεις. |
| 15:13 | καὶ παρενέβαλεν Ἀντίοχος ἐπὶ Δωρά, καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ δώδεκα μυριάδες ἀνδρῶν πολεμιστῶν καὶ ὀκτακισχιλία ἵππος. |
| 15:14 | καὶ ἐκύκλωσεν τὴν πόλιν, καὶ τὰ πλοῖα ἀπὸ θαλάσσης συνῆψαν· καὶ συνέθλιβεν τὴν πόλιν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ οὐκ εἴασεν οὐδένα ἐκπορεύεσθαι καὶ εἰσπορεύεσθαι. |
| 15:15 | Καὶ ἦλθεν Νουμήνιος καὶ οἱ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκ Ῥώμης ἔχοντες ἐπιστολὰς τοῖς βασιλεῦσι καὶ ταῖς χώραις, ἐν αἷς ἐγέγραπτο τάδε |
| 15:16 | Λεύκιος ὕπατος Ῥωμαίων Πτολεμαίῳ βασιλεῖ χαίρειν. |
| 15:17 | οἱ πρεσβευταὶ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἦλθαν πρὸς ἡμᾶς φίλοι ἡμῶν καὶ σύμμαχοι, ἀνανεούμενοι τὴν ἐξ ἀρχῆς φιλίαν ακὶ συμμαχίαν, ἀπεσταλμένοι ἀπὸ Σίμωνος τοῦ ἀρχιερέως καὶ τοῦ δήμου τῶν Ἰουδαίων· |
| 15:18 | ἤνεγκαν δὲ ἀσπίδα χρυσῆν ἀπὸ μνῶν πεντακισχιλίων. |
| 15:19 | ἤρεσεν οὖν ἡμῖν γράψαι τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν καὶ ταῖς χώραις, ὅπως μὴ ἐκζητήσωσιν αὐτοῖς κακά, καὶ μὴ πολεμήσωσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς χώρας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἵνα μὴ συμμαχῶσιν τοῖς πολεμοῦσιν αὐτοὺς. |
| 15:20 | ἔδοξεν δὲ ἡμῖν δέξασθαι τὴν ἀσπίδα παρʼ αὐτῶν. |
| 15:21 | εἴ τινες οὗν λοιμοὶ διαπεφεύγασιν ἐκ τῆς χώρας αὐτῶν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, παράδοτε αὐτοὺς τῷ Σίμωνι τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ, ὅπως ἐκδικήσει αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὸν νόμον αὐτῶν. |
| 15:22 | καὶ ταὐτὰ ἔγραψεν Δημητρίῳ τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ Ἀττάλῳ καὶ Ἀράθῃ καὶ Ἀρσάκῃ, |
| 15:23 | καὶ εἰς πάσας τὰς χώρας, καὶ Σαμψάκῃ, καὶ Σπαρτιάταις, καὶ εἰς Δῆλον καὶ εἰς Μύνδον καὶ εἰς Σικυῶνα καὶ εἰς τὴν Καρίδα καὶ εἰς Σάμον καὶ εἰς τὴν Παμφυλίαν καὶ Λυκίαν καὶ εἰς Ἀλικαρνασσὸν καὶ εἰς Κῶ καὶ εἰς Σίδην καὶ εἰς Ἄραδον καὶ εἰς Ῥόδον καὶ εἰς τὴν Φασήλιδα καὶ Γόρτυναν καὶ Κνίδον καὶ Κύπρον καὶ Κυρήνην. |
| 15:24 | τὸ δὲ ἀντίγραφον αὐτῶν ἔγραψεν Σίμωνι τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ. |
| 15:25 | Ἀντίοχος δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς παρενέβαλεν ἐπὶ Δωρὰ ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ, προσάγων διὰ παντὸς αὐτῇ τὰς χεῖρας καὶ μηχανὰς ποιούμενος, καὶ συνέκλεισεν τὸν Τρὺφωνα τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι καὶ ἐκπορεύεσθαι |
| 15:26 | καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτῷ Σίμων δισχιλίους ἄνδρας ἐκλεκτοὺς συμμαχῆσαι αὐτῷ καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σκεύη ἱκανά. |
| 15:27 | καὶ οὐκ ἠβούλετο αὐτὰ δέξασθαι, ἀλλὰ ἠθέτησεν πάντα ὅσα ἐσυνέθετο αὐτῷ τὸ πρότερον, καὶ ἠλλοτριοῦτο αὐτῷ. |
| 15:28 | καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἀθηνόβιον ἕνα τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ κοινολογησόμενον αὐτῷ, λέγων Ὑμεῖς κατακρατεῖτε τῆς Ἰόππης καὶ Γαζαρηνῶν καὶ τῆς ἄκρας ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, πόλεις τῆς βασιλείας μου. |
| 15:29 | τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν ἠρημώσατε, καὶ ἐποιήσατε πληγὴν μεγάλην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐκυριεύσατε τόπων πολλῶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ μου. |
| 15:30 | νῦν οὖν παράδοτε τὰς πόλεις ἃς κατελάβεσθε, καὶ τοὺς φόρους τῶν τόπων ὧν κατεκυριεύσατε, τῶν ὁρίων τῶν ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαίας. |
| 15:31 | εἰ δὲ μή, δότε ἀντʼ αὐτῶν πεντακόσια τάλαντα ἀργυρίου, καὶ τῆς καταφθορᾶς ἧς κατεφθάρκατε καὶ τῶν φόρων τῶν πόλεων ἄλλα τάλαντα πεντακόσια· εἰ δέ μή, παραγενόμενοι ἐκπολεμήσουσιν ὑμᾶς. |
| 15:32 | Καὶ ἦλθεν Ἀθηνόβιος φίλος τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ εἶδεν τὴν δόξαν Σίμωνος καὶ κυλίκιον μετὰ χρυσωμάτων καὶ ἀργυρωμάτων καὶ παράστασιν ἱκανὴν· καὶ ἐξιστάτο, καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βασιλέως. |
| 15:33 | καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς Σίμων εἶπεν αὐτῷ Οὔτε γῆν ἀλλοτρίαν εἰλήφαμεν, οὕτε ἀλλοτρίων κεκρατήκαμεν, ἀλλὰ τῆς κληρονομίας τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν· ὑπὸ δέ ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν ἀκρίτως ἔν τινι καιρῷ κατεκρατήθη. |
| 15:34 | ἡμεῖς δέ καιρὸν ἔχοντες ἀντεχόμεθα τῆς κληρονομίας ἡμῶν καὶ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν. |
| 15:35 | περὶ δὲ Ἰόππης καὶ Γαζαρηνῶν αἰτεῖς· αὗται ἐποίουν ἐν τῷ λαῷ πληγὴν μεγάλην καὶ τῇ γῇ ἡμῶν· τούτων δώσομεν τάλαντα ἑκατόν. καὶ υὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ λόγον. |
| 15:36 | ἀπέστρεψεν δὲ μετὰ θυμοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ τὴν δόξαν Σίμωνος καὶ πάντα ὅσα εἶδεν· καὶ ὠργίσθη ὁ βασιλεὺς ὀργὴν μεγάλην. |
| 15:37 | Γρύφων δὲ ἐμβὰς εἰς πλοῖον ἔφυγεν εἰς Ὀρθωσίαν. |
| 15:38 | καὶ κατέστησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Κενδεβαῖον ἐπιστράτηγον τῆς παραλίας, καὶ δυνάμεις πεζικὰς καὶ ἱππικὰς ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ. |
| 15:39 | καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ παρεμβάλλειν κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς Ἰουδαίας· καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ οἰκοδομῆσαι τὴν Κεδρὼν καὶ ὀχυρῶσαι τὰς πόλεις, καὶ ὅπως πολεμῇ τὸν λαόν· ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς ἐδίωκε τὸν Τρύφωνα. |
| 15:40 | καὶ παρεγενήθη Κεωδεβαῖος εἰς Ἰαμνείαν, καὶ ἤρξατο τοῦ ἐρεθίζειν τὸν λαὸν καὶ ἐμβατεύειν εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν καὶ αἰχμαλωτίζειν τὸν λαὸν καὶ φονεύειν. |
| 15:41 | καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Κεδρὼν· καὶ ἔταξεν ἐκεῖ ἱππεῖς καὶ δυνάμεις ὅπως ἐκπορευόμενοι ἐξοδεύωσιν τὰς ὁδοὺς τῆς Ἰουδαίας, καθὰ συνέταξεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς. |

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.
