10:1Καὶ τούτου τὸν ἀοίδιμον θάνατον καρτερήσαντος, ὁ τρίτος ἡγετο, παρακαλούμενος πολλὰ υπὸ πολλῶν ὅπως ἀπογευσμμμενος σώζοιτο.
10:2δὲ ἀναβοήσας ἔφη Ἦ ἀγνοεῖτε ὅτι αὑτός με τοῖς ἀποθανοῦσιν ἔσπειρεν πατήρ, καὶ ἡ αὐτὴ μήτηρ ἐγέννησεν, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς αὐτοῖς ἀνετράφην δόγμασιν;
10:3οὐκ ἐξόμνυμαι τὴν εὐγενῆ τῆς ἀδελφότητος συγγένειαν.
10:4πρὸς ταῦτα εἵ τι ἔχετε κολαστήριον, προσαγάγετε τῷ σώματί μου· τῆς γὰρ ψυχῆς μου, οὐδʼ ἡυ θέλητε, ἅψεσθε.
10:5οἱ δὲ πικρῶς ἐνέγκαντες τὴν παρρησίαν τοῦ ἀνδρός, ἀρθρεμβόλοις ὀργάνοις τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς πόδας ἐξήρθρουν, καὶ ἐξ ἁρμῶν ἀναμοχλεύοντες ἐξεμέλιζον·
10:6καὶ τοὺς δακτύλους καὶ τοὺς βραχίονας καὶ τὰ σκέλη καὶ τοὺς ἀγκῶνας περιέλκων.
10:7καὶ κατὰ μηδένα τρόπον ἰσχύοντες αὐτὸν ἄγξαι, περισύραντες τὸ δέρμα σὺν ἄκραις ταῖς τῶυ δακτύλων κορυφαῖς ἀπεσκύ θιζον, καὶ εὐθέως ἦγον ἐπὶ τὸν τροχόν.
10:8περὶ ὃν ἐκ σφονδύλων ἐκμελιζόμενος ἑώρα τὰς ἑαυτοῦ σάρκας περιλακιζομένας καὶ κατά σπλάγχναων σταγόνας αἵματος ἀπορρεούσας.
10:9μέλλων δὲ ἀποθνήσκειν, ἔφη
10:10Ἡμεῖς μέν, ὦ μιερώτατε τύραννε, διὰ παιδείαν καὶ ἀρετὴν θεοῦ ταῦτα πάσχομεν·
10:11ηὺ ῆὲ διή τὴν ἀσέβειαν καὶ μιαιβονίαν ἀκαταλύτους καρτερήσεις βασάνους.
10:12Καὶ τούτου θανόντος ἀδελφοπρεπῶς, τὸν τέταρτον ἐπεσπῶντο, λέγοντες
10:13Μὴ μανῆς καὶ σὺ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς σου τὴν αὐτὴν μανίαν, ἀλλὰ πεισθεὶς τῷ βασιλεῖ σῶζε σεαυτόν.
10:14ὁ δὲ αὐτοῖς ἔφη Οὐχ οὕταως καυστικώτερον ἔχετε κατʼ ἐμοῦ τὸ πῦρ, ὥστε με δειλανδρῆσαι.
10:15μὰ τὸν μακάριον τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου θάυατον, καὶ τὸν αἰώνιον τοῦ τυράννου ὄλεθρον, καὶ τὸν ἀοίδιμον τῶν εὐσεβῶν βίον, οὐκ ἀρνήσομαι τὴν εὐγενῆ ἀδελφότητα.
10:16ἐπινόει, τύραννε, βασάνους· ἵνα καὶ διή τούτων μάθῃς, ὅτι ἀδελφός εἰμι τῶν προβασανισθέντωυ.
10:17ταῦτα ἀκούσας ὁ αἱμοβόρος καὶ φονώδης καὶ πανμιερώτατος Ἀντίοχος, ἐκέλευσεν τὴν γλῶτταν αὐτοῦ ἐκτεμεῖν.
10:18ὁ δὲ ἔφη Κδν ἀφέλῃς τὸ τῆς φωνῆς ὄργανον, καὶ σιωπώντων ἀκούει ὁ θεός.
10:19ἰδηὺ κεχάλασται ἡ γλῶσσα· τέμνε. οὐ γὰρ παρά τοῦτο τὸν λογισμὸν ἡρῶν γλωσσοτομήσεις.
10:20ἡδέως ὑπέρ τοῦ θεοῦ τ τοῦ σώματος μέλη ἀκραυτηριαζόμεθα.
10:21ηὲ δὲ ταχέαος μετελεύσεται ὁ θεός· τὴν γάρ τῶν θείων ὕμνων μελῳδὸν γλῶτταν ἐκτέμνεις.

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.
