16:1	Καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωάννης ἐκ Γαζάρων, καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν Σίμωνι τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἃ συνετέλει Κενδεβαῖος.
16:2	καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Σίμων τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ἰούδαν καὶ Ἰωάννην, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἐγὼ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός μου ἐπολεμήσαμεν τοὺς πολέμους Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ νεότητος ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας, καὶ εὐοδώθη ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν ἡμῶν ῥύσασθαι τὸν Ἰσραὴλ πλεονάκις.
16:3	νῦν δὲ γεγήρακα, καὶ ὑμεῖς δὲ ἐν τῷ ἐλέει ἱκανοί ἐστε ἐν τοῖς ἔτεσιν· γίνεσθε ἀντʼ ἐμοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου, καὶ ἐξελθόντες ὑπερμαχεῖτε ὑπέρ τοῦ ἔθνους ἡμῶν, ἡ δὲ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ βοήθεια ἤτω μεθʼ ὑμῶν.
16:4	καὶ ἐπέλεξεν ἐκ τῆς χώρας εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν πολεμιστῶν καὶ ἱππεῖς, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐπὶ τὸν Κενδεβαῖον, καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν ἐν Μωδαείμ.
16:5	καὶ ἀναστάντες τὸ πρωὶ ἐπορεύοντο εἰς τὸ πεδίον· καὶ ἰδοὺ δύναμις πολλὴ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς, πεζικοὶ καὶ ἱππεῖς, καὶ χειμάρρους ἦν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν.
16:6	καὶ παρενέβαλεν κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν αὐτὸς καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶδεν τὸν λαὸν δειλούμενον διαπερᾶσαι τὸν χειμάρρουν, καὶ διεπέρασεν πρῶτος· καὶ εἶδον αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες, καὶ διεπέρασαν κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ.
16:7	καὶ διεῖλεν τὸν λαὸν καὶ τοὺς ἱππεῖς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν πεζῶν· ἡ δὲ ἵππος τῶν ὑπεναντίων πολλὴ σφόδρα.
16:8	καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν, καὶ ἐτροπώθη Κενδεβαῖος καὶ ἡ παρεμβολὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔπεσον ἐξ αὐτοῦ τραυματίαι πολλοί οἱ δὲ καταλειφθέντες ἔφυγον εἰς τὸ ὀχύρωμα.
16:9	τότε ἐτραυματίσθη Ἰούδας ὁ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωάννου· Ἰωάννης δέ κατεδίωξεν αὐτοὺς ἕως ἐλθεῖν εἰς Κεδρών, ἣν οἰκοδόμησεν.
16:10	καὶ ἔφυγον εἰς τοὺς πύργους τοὺς ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ Ἀζώτου, καὶ ἐνεπύρισεν αὐτὴν ἐν πυρί καὶ ἕπεσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν εἰς ἄνδρας χιλίους, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν μετʼ εἰρήνης.
16:11	Καὶ Πτολεμαῖος ὁ τοῦ Ἀβούβου ἦν καθεσταμένος στρατηγὸς εἰς τὸ πεδίον Ἰεριχώ, καὶ ἔσχεν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον πολύ·
16:12	ᾖν γὰρ γαμβρὸς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως.
16:13	καὶ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἠβουλήθη κατακρατῆσαι τῆς χώρας. καὶ ἐβουλεύετο δόλῳ κατὰ Σίμωνος καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἄραι αὐτούς.
16:14	Σίμων δὲ ἦν ἐφοδεύων τὰς πόλεις τὰς ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ καὶ φροντίζων τὰς ἐπιμελίας αὐτῶν, καὶ κατέβη εἰς Ἰεριχῶ αὐτὸς καὶ Ματταθίας καὶ Ἰούδας καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἔτους ἑβδόμου καὶ ἑβδομηκοστοῦ καὶ ἑκατοστοῦ ἐν μηνὶ ἑνδεκάτῳ· οὗτος ὁ μὴν Σαβάτ.
16:15	καὶ ὑπεδέξατο αὐτοὺς ὁ τοῦ Ἀβούβου εἰς τὸ ὀχυρωμάτιον τὸ καλούμενον Δὼκ μετὰ δόλου, ὃ ᾠκοδόμησεν, καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς πότον μέγαν· καὶ ἐνέκρυψεν ἐκεῖ ἄνδρας.
16:16	καὶ ὅτε ἐμεθύσθη Σίμων καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, ἐξανέστη Πτολεμαῖος καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάβοσαν τὰ ὅπλα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπεισήλθοσαν τῷ Σίμωνι εἰς τὸ συμπόσιον, καὶ ἀπέκτειναν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ, καί τινας τῶν παιδαρίων αὐτοῦ.
16:17	καὶ ἐποίησεν ἀθείαν μεγάλην, καὶ ἀνταπέδωκεν κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν.
16:18	καὶ ἔγραψεν ταῦτα Πτολεμαῖος. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ὅπως ἀποστείλῃ αὐτῷ δυνάμεις εἰς βοήθειαν, καὶ παραδῷ τὴν Χώραν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς πόλεις.
16:19	καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἑτέρους εἰς Γάζαρα ἆραι τὸν Ἰωάννην, καὶ τοῖς χιλιάρχοις ἀπέστειλεν ἐπιστολὰς παραγενέσθαι πρὸς αὐτόν, ὅπως δῷ αὐτοῖς ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ δόματα.
16:20	καὶ ἑτέρους ἀπέστειλεν καταλαβέσθαι τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ τὸ ὄρος τοῦ ἱεροῦ.
16:21	καὶ προδραμὼν ἀπήγγειλεν Ἰωάννῃ εἰς Γάζαρα, ὅτι ἀπώλετο ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅτι Ἀπέσταλκε καὶ σέ ἀποκτεῖναι.
16:22	καὶ ἀκούσας ἐξέστη σφόδρα, καὶ συνέλαβεν τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς ἐλθόντας ἀπολέσαι αὐτόν· καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτούς, ἔγνω γὰρ ὅτι ἐζητοῦσαν αὐτὸν ἀπολέσαι.
16:23	Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωάννου καὶ τῶν πολέμων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν ἀνδραγαθιῶν αὐτοῦ ὧν ἠνδραγάθησεν καὶ τῆς οἰκοδομῆς τῶν τειχέων ὧν ᾠκοδόμησεν καὶ τῶν πράξεων αὐτοῦ,
16:24	ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐπὶ βιβλίου ἡμερῶν ἀρχιερωσύνης αὐτοῦ, ἀφʼ οὗ ἐγενήθη ἀρχιερεὺς μετὰ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
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).

L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.

L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.

English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
