| 13:1 | Τῷ δὲ ἐνάτῳ καὶ τεσσερακοστῷ καὶ ἑκατοστῷ ἔτει προσέπεσεν τοῖς περὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν Ἀντίοχον τὸν Εὐπάτορα παραγενέσθαι σὺν πλήθεσιν ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν, |
| 13:2 | καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ Λυσίαν τὸν ἐπίτροπον καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων, ἕκαστον ἔχοντα δύναμιν Ἑλληνικὴν πεζῶν μυριάδας ἕνδεκα καὶ ἱππέων πεντακισχιλίους τριακοσίους καὶ ἐλεφάντας εἴκοσι δύο, ἅρματα δὲ δρεπανηφόρα τριακόσια. |
| 13:3 | συνέμιξεν δὲ αὐτοῖς καὶ Μενέλαος, καὶ παρεκάλει μετὰ πολλῆς εἰρωνίας τὸν Ἀντίοχον, οὐκ ἐπὶ σωτηρίας τῆς πατρίδος, οἰόμενος δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς ἀρχῆς κατασταθήσεσθαι. |
| 13:4 | ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλέων ἐξήγειρεν τὸν θυμὸν τοῦ Ἀντιόχου ἐπὶ τὸν ἀλιτήριον, καὶ Λυσίου ὑποδείξαντος τοῦτον αἴτιον τῶν κακῶν εἶναι καὶ πάντων προσέταξεν, ὡς ἔθος ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, προσαπολέσαι, ἀγαγόντας εἰς Βέροιαν. |
| 13:5 | ἔστιν δὲ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ πύργος πεντήκοντα πήχεων πλήρης σποδοῦ, ὄργανον δὲ εἶχεν περιφερὲς πάντοθεν ἀπόκρημνον εἰς τὴν σποδόν. |
| 13:6 | ἐνταῦθα τὸν ἱεροσυλίας ἔνοχον, ἢ καί τινων ἄλλων κακῶν ὑπεροχὴν πεποιημένον, ἅπαντες προσωθοῦσιν εἰς ὄλεθρον. |
| 13:7 | τοιούτῳ μόρῳ τὸν παράνομον συνέβη θανεῖν, μηδὲ τῆς γῆς τυγχάνοντα Μενέλαον· |
| 13:8 | πάνυ δικαίως· ἐπεὶ γὰρ συνετελέσατο πολλὰ περὶ τὸν βωμὸν ἁμαρτήματα, οὗ τὸ πῦρ ἁγνὸν ἦν καὶ ἡ σποδός, ἐν σποδῷ τὸν θάνατον ἐκομίσατο. |
| 13:9 | Τοῖς δὲ φρονήμασιν ὁ βασιλεὺς βεβαρημένος ἤρχετο, τὰ χείριστα τῶν ἐπὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ γεγονότων ἐνδειξόμενος τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις. |
| 13:10 | μεταλαβὼν δὲ Ἰούδας ταῦτα, παρήγγειλεν τῷ πλήθει δι᾿ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς ἐπικαλέσασθαι τὸν κύριον, εἴ ποτε καὶ ἄλλοτε, καὶ νῦν ἐπιβοηθεῖυ |
| 13:11 | τοῖς τοῦ νόμου καὶ πατρίδος καὶ ἱεροῦ ἁγίου στερεῖσθαι μέλλουσιν, καὶ τὸν ἄρτι βραχέως ἀνεψυχότα λαὸν μὴ ἐᾶσαι τοῖς δυσφήμοις ἔθνεσιν ὑποχειρίους γενέσθαι. |
| 13:12 | πάντων δὲ τὸ αὐτὸ ποιησάντων ὁμοῦ καὶ καταξιωσάντων τὸν ἐλεήμονα κύριον μετὰ κλαυθμοῦ καὶ νηστειῶν καὶ προπτώσεως ἐπὶ ἡμέρας τρεῖς ἀδιαλείπτως, παρακαλέσας αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰούδας ἐκέλευσεν παραγίνεσθαι. |
| 13:13 | καθʼ ἑαυτὸν δὲ σὺν τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις γενόμενος ἐβουλεύσατο πρὶν εἰσβαλεῖν τὸ στράτευμα τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν καὶ γενέσθαι τῆς πόλεως ἐγκρατεῖς, ἐξελθόντας κρῖναι τὰ πράγματα τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ βοηθείᾳ. |
| 13:14 | δοὺς δὲ τὴν ἐπιτροπὴν τῷ κυρίῳ τοῦ κόσμου, παρακαλέσας τοὺς σὺν αὐτῷ γενναίως ἀγωνίσασθαι μέχρι θανάτου περὶ νόμων, ἱεροῦ, πόλεως, πατρίδος, πολιτίας· περὶ δὲ Μωδιεὶμ ἐποιήσατο τὴν στρατιάν. |
| 13:15 | ἀναδοὺς δὲ τοῖς περὶ αὐτὸν σύνθημα ΘΕΟΥ ΝΙΚΗΝ, μετὰ νεανίσκων ἀρίστων κεκριμένων ἐπιβαλὼν νύκτωρ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλικὴν αὐλήν, τὴν παρεμβολὴν ἀνεῖλεν εἰς ἄνδρας δισχιλίους, καὶ τὸν πρωτεύοντα τῶν ἐλεφάντων σὺν τῷ κατʼ οἰκίαν ὄντι συνέθηκεν· |
| 13:16 | καὶ τὸ τέλος τὴν παρεμβολὴν δέους καὶ ταραχῆς ἐπλήρωσαν, καὶ ἐξέλυσαν εὐημεροῦντες. |
| 13:17 | ὑποφαινούσης δὲ ἤδη τῆς ἡμέρας τοῦτο ἐγεγόνει, διὰ τὴν ἐπαρήγουσαν αὐτῷ τοῦ κυρίου σκέπην. |
| 13:18 | Ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εἰληφὼς γεῦμα τῆς τῶν Ἰουδαίων εὐτολμίας, κατεπείρασεν διὰ μεθόδων τοὺς τόπους, |
| 13:19 | καὶ ἐπὶ Βαιθσούροις φρούριον ὀλίγον τῶν Ἰουδαίων· προσῆγεν, ἐτροποῦτο, προσενέκρουσεν, ἠλαττονοῦτο. |
| 13:20 | τοῖς δὲ ἔνδον Ἰούδας τὰ δέοντα εἰσέπεμψεν. |
| 13:21 | προσήγγειλεν δὲ τὰ μυστήρια τοῖς πολεμίοις Ῥόδοκος ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαικῆς τάξεως· ἀνεζητήθη καὶ κατελήμφθη καὶ κατεκλείσθη. |
| 13:22 | ἐδευτερολόγησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς ἐν Βαιθσούροις, δεξιὰν ἔδωκεν, ἔλαβεν, ἀπῄει, |
| 13:23 | προσέβαλεν τοῖς περὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν, ἥττων ἐγένετο, μετέλαβεν ἀπονενοῆσθαι τὸν Φίλιππον ἐν Ἀντιοχίᾳ τὸν ἀπολελιμμένον ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων, συνεχύθη, τοὺς Ἰουδαίους παρεκάλεσεν, ὑπετάγη, καὶ ὤμοσεν ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς δικαίοις, συνελύθη καὶ θυσίαν προσήγαγεν, ἐτίμησεν τὸν νεὼ καὶ τὸν τόπον, ἐφιλανθρώπησεν |
| 13:24 | καὶ τὸν Μακκαβαῖον ἐπεδέξατο, κατέλειπεν στρατηγὸν ἀπὸ Πτολεμαίδος ἕως τῶν Γεννήρων Ἡγεμονίδην, |
| 13:25 | ἦλθεν εἰς Πτολεμαίδα· ἐδυσφόρουν περὶ τῶν συνθηκῶν οἱ Πτολεμαεῖς, ἐδειλίαζον γὰρ ὑπεράγαν· ἠθέλησαν ἀθετεῖν τὰς διαστάλσεις. |
| 13:26 | προσῆλθεν ἐπὶ τὸ βῆμα Λυσίας, ἀπελογήσατο ἐνδεχομένως, συνέπεισεν καὶ κατεπρᾴυνεν, εὐμενεῖς ἐποίησεν, ἀνέζευξεν εἰς Ἀντιοχίαν. οὕτω τὰ τῆς ἐφόδου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῆς ἀναζυγῆς ἐχώρησεν. |

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.
