3:26	ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲱⲁⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲡ[...] ⲛ[...] ⲉ[...] ϫ[...] ⲕ[...] ⲱ[...] ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲓϣⲉ ϩⲛⲧⲥⲏϥⲉ [...]	And the king of Moab saw that the battle prevailed against him; and he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to cut through to the king of Edom: and they could not.
3:27	ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲕⲱⲃ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲕⲁϩ	And he took his eldest son whom he had designed to reign in his stead, and offered him up for a whole-burnt-offering on the walls. And there was a great indignation against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their land.

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.
