| 7:1 | Βασιλεὺς Πτολεμαῖος Φιλοπάτωρ τοῖς κατʼ Aἴγυπτον στρατηγοῖς καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς τεταγμένοις ἐπὶ πραγμάτων χαίρειν καὶ ἐρρῶσθαι. |
| 7:2 | ἐρρώμεθα δὲ καὶ αὐτοὶ καὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν, κατευθύνοντος ἡμῖν τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ τὰ προστάγματα, καθὼς προαιρούμεθα. |
| 7:3 | τῶν φίλων τινὲς κατὰ κακοήθειαν πυκνότερον ἡμῖν παρακείμενοι, συνέπεισαν ἡμᾶς εἰς τὸ τοὺς ὑπὸ τὴν βασιλείαν Ἰουδαίους συναθροίσαντας τὰ σνστήματα κολάζεσθαι ξενιζούσαις ἀποστάντων τιμωρίαις· |
| 7:4 | προφερόμενοι μηδέποτε εὐσταθήσειν τὰ πράγματα ἡμῶν, δι᾿ ἣν ἔχουσιν οὗτοι πρὸς τὰ ἔθνη δυσμενίαν, μέχρι ἄν συντελεσθῇ τοῦτο. |
| 7:5 | οἴ καὶ δεσμίους καταγαγόντες αὐτοὺς μετὰ σκυλμῶν ὡς ἀνδράποδα, μᾶλλον δὲ ὡς ἐπιβούλους, ἄνευ πάσης ἀνακρίσεως καὶ ἐξετάσεως ἐπεχείρησαν ἀνελεῖν, νόμου Σκυθῶν ἀγριοτέραν ἐνπεπηρμένοι ὠμότητα. |
| 7:6 | ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐπὶ τούτοις σκληρότερον διαπειλησάμενοι, καθʼ ἣν ἔχομεν πρὸς ἄπαντας ἀνθρώπους ἐπιεικίαν, μόγις τὸ ζῆν αὐτοῖς χαριζόμενοι, καὶ τὸν ἐπουράνιον θεὸν ἐγνωκότες ἀσφαλῶς ὑπερησπικότα τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ὡς πατέρα ὑπέρ υἱῶν διὰ παντὸς συμμαχοῦντα, |
| 7:7 | τὴν τε τοῦ φίλου ἣν ἔχουσιν βεβαίαν πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ τοὺς προγόνους ἡμῶν εὔνοιαν ἀναλογισάμενοι, δικαίως ἀπολελύκαμεν πάσης καθʼ ὁντινοῦν αἰτίας τρόπον. |
| 7:8 | καὶ προστετάχαμεν ἑκάστῳ πάντας εἰς τὰ ἴδια ἐπιστρέφειν, ἐν παντὶ τρόπῳ μηθενὸς αὐτοὺς τὸ σύνολον καταβλάπτοντος, μήτε ὀνειδίζοντος περὶ τῶν γεγενημένων παρὰ λόγον. |
| 7:9 | γινώσκετε γὰρ ὅτι κατὰ τούτων ἐάν τι κακοτεχνήσωμεν πονηρόν, ἢ ἐπιλυπήσωμεν αὐτοὺς τὸ σύνολον, οὐκ ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὸν πάσης δεσπόζοντα δυνάρεως θεὸν ὕψιστον ἀντικείμενον ἡμῖν ἐπʼ ἐκδίκησιν τῶν πραγμάτων κατὰ πᾶν ἀφεύκτως διὰ παντὸς ἕξομεν. ἔρρωσθε. |
| 7:10 | Δαβόντες δὲ·τὴν ἐπιστολὴν ταύτην, οὐκ ἐσπούδασαν εὐθέως περὶ τὴν ἄφοδον, ἀλλὰ τὸν βασιλέα προσηξίωσαν τοὺς ἐκ τοῦ γένους τῶν Ἰουδαίων τὸν ἅγιον θεὸν αὐθαιρέτως παραβεβηκότας τοῦ θεοῦ τὸν νόμον, τυχεῖν δι᾿ αὐτῶν τῆς ὀφειλομένης κολάσεως· |
| 7:11 | προφερόμενοι τοὺς γαστρὸς ἕνεκεν τὰ θεῖα παραβεβηκότας προστάγματα μηδέποτε εὐνοήσειν μηδὲ τοῖς τοῦ βασιλέως προστάγμασιν. |
| 7:12 | ὁ δὲ τἀληθές αὐτοὺς λέγειν παραδεξάμενος καὶ παραινέσας, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἄδειαν πάντων, ὅπως τοὺς παραβεβηκότας τοῦ θεοῦ τὸν νόμον ἐξολεθρεύσωσιν κατὰ πάντα τὸν ὑπὸ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ τόπον μετὰ παρρησίας, ἄνευ πάσης βασιλικῆς ἐξουσίας καὶ ἐπισκέψεως. |
| 7:13 | τότε κατευφημήσαντες αὐτόν, ὡς πρέπον ἦν, οἱ τούτων ἱερεῖς καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος, ἐπιφωνήσαντες τὸ ἁλληλουιά, μετὰ χαρᾶς ἀνέλυσαν· |
| 7:14 | οὗτοί τε τὸν ἐμπεσόντα τῶν μεμιαμμένων ὁμοεθνῆ κατὰ τὴν ὀδὸν ἀπέκτεννον, καὶ μετὰ παραδιγματισμῶν ἀνήρουν. |
| 7:15 | ἐκείνῃ δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἀνεῖλον ὑπέρ τοὺς τριακοσίους ἄνδρας, ἣν καὶ ἤγαγον εὐφροσύνην μετὰ χαρᾶς βεβήλους χειρωσάμενοι. |
| 7:16 | αὐτοὶ δὲ οἱ μέχρι θανάτου τὸν θεὸν ἐσχηκότες, παντελῆ σωτηρίαν ἀπόλυσιν ἐσχηκότες, ἀνέζευξαν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως βοῆς, ἐν αἴνοις καὶ πανμελέσιν ὕμνοις εὐχαριστοῦντες τῷ θεῷ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἁγίῳ σωτῆρι τοῦ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 7:17 | Παραγενηθέντες δὲ εἰς Πτολεμαίδα τὴν ὀνομαζομένην διὰ τὴν τοῦ τόπου ἰδιότητα ῥοδοφόρον, ἐν ᾖ προσέμεινεν αὐτοὺς ὁ στόλος κατὰ κοινὴν αὐτῶν βουλὴν ἡμέρας ἑπτά, |
| 7:18 | ἐκεῖ ἐποίησαν πότον σωτηρίου, τοῦ βασιλέως χορηγήσαντος αὐτοῖς εὐψύχως τὰ πρὸς τὴν ἄφιξιν πάντα ἑκάστῳ ἕως ἐπὶ τὴν ἰδίαν οἰκίαν. |
| 7:19 | καταχθέντες δέ μετʼ εἰρήνης ἐν ταῖς πρεπούσαις ἐξομολογήσεσιν, ὡσαύτως κἀκεῖ ἔστησαν καὶ ταύτας ἄγειν τὰς ἡμέρας ἐπὶ τὸν τῆς παροικίας αὐτῶν χρόνον εὐφροσύνους· |
| 7:20 | ἃς καὶ ἀνιερώσαντες ἐν στήλῃ, κατὰ τὸν τῆς συμποσίας τόπον προσευχῆς καθιδρύσαντες, ἀνέλυσαν ἀσινεῖς, ἐλεύθεροι, ὑπερχαρεῖς, διά τε γῆς καὶ θαλάσσης καὶ ποταμοῦ ἀνασωζόμενοι τῇ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπιταγῇ, ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν |
| 7:21 | ἔμπροσθεν, ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς ἐξουσίαν ἐσχηκότες μετὰ δόξης καὶ φόβου, τὸ σύνολον ὑπὸ μηδενὸς διασεισθέντες τῶν ὑπαρχόντων. |
| 7:22 | καὶ πάντα τὰ ἑαυτῶν πάντες ἐκομίσαντο ἐξ ἀπογραφῆς, ὥστε τοὺς ἔχοντάς τι μετὰ φόρου μεγίστου ἀποδοῦναι αὐτοῖς, τὰ μεγαλεῖα τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ ποιήσαντος τελέως ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ αὐτῶν. |
| 7:23 | Εὐλογητὸς ὁ ῥύστης Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τοὺς ἀεὶ χρόνους. ἀμήν. |

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.
