| 13:1 | Εἰ δὲ τοίνυν τῶν μέχρι θανάτου πόνων ὑπερεφρόνησαν οἱ ἑπτὰ ἀδελφοί, συνομολογεῖται πανταχόθεν, ὅτι αὐτοδέσποτός ἐστιν τῶν παθῶν ὁ εὐσεβὴς λογισμός. |
| 13:2 | ὥσπερ γὰρ οἱ τοῖς πάθεσιν δουλωθέντες ἐμιεροφάγησαν, ἐλέγομεν γὰρ αὐτοὺς τούτοις νενικῆσθαι |
| 13:3 | νυνὶ δὲ οὐχ οὕτως· ἀλλὰ τῷ ἐπαινουμένῳ λογισμῷ παρὰ θεῷ περιεγένοντο τῶν παθῶν. |
| 13:4 | καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν παριδεῖν τὴν ἡγεμονίαν τῆς διανοίας· ἐπεκράτησαν γὰρ καὶ πάθους καὶ πονων. |
| 13:5 | πῶς οὖν οὐκ ἔστιν τούτοις τὴν τῆς εὐλογιστίας παθοκρατίαν ὁμολογεῖν, οἱ τῶν μὲν διὰ πυρὸς ἀλγηδόνων οὐκ ἐπεστράφησαν; |
| 13:6 | καθάπερ γὰρ προβλῆτες λιμένων πύργοι τὰς κυμάτων ἀπειλὰς ἀνακόπτοντες, γαληνὸν παρέχουσιν τοῖς εἰσπλέουσιν τὸν ὅρμον· |
| 13:7 | οὕτως ἡ ἑπτάπυργος τῶν νεανίσκων εὐλογιστία τὸν τῆς εὐσεβείας ὀχυρωσασα λιμένα τὴν τῶν παθῶν ἐνίκησεν ἀκολασίαν. |
| 13:8 | ἱερὸν γὰρ εὐσεβείας στήσαντες χορὸν παρεθάρσυνον ἀλλήλους, λέγοντες |
| 13:9 | Ἀδελφικῶς ἀποθάνοιμεν ἀδελφοὶ περὶ τοῦ νόμου· μιμησώμεθα τοὺς τρεῖς τοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς Συρίας νεανίσκους, οἵ τῆς ἰσοπάλιδος καμίνου κατεφρόνησαν. |
| 13:10 | μὴ δειλανδρήσωμεν πρὸς τὴν τῆς εὐσεβίας ἀπόδειξιν. |
| 13:11 | καὶ ὁ μέν Θάρει, ἀδελφέ, ἔλεγεν· ὁ δέ Εὐγενῶς καρτέρησον. |
| 13:12 | ὁ δὲ ἔλεγεν Μνήσθητε πόθεν ἐστέ, ἡ τίνος πατρὸς χειρὶ σφαγιασθῆναι διὰ τὴν εὐσέβειαν ὑπέρεινεν ὁ Ἰσαάκ. |
| 13:13 | εἶς δὲ ἕκαστος καὶ ἀλλήλους ὁμοῦ πάντες ἐφορῶντες φαιδροὶ καὶ μάλα θαρραλέοι Ἑαυτούς, ἔλεγον, τῷ θεῷ ἀφιερώσομεν ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας τῷ δόντι τὰς ψυχάς, καὶ χρήσωμεν τῆ περὶ τὸν νόμον φυλακῇ τὰ σώματα. |
| 13:14 | μὴ φοβηθῶμεν τὸν δοκοῦντα ἀποκτενεῖν. |
| 13:15 | μέγας γὰρ ψυχῆς ἀγὼν καὶ κίνδυνος ἐν αἰωνίῳ βασάνῳ κείμενος τοῖς παραβᾶσιν τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ θεοῦ. |
| 13:16 | καθοπλισώμεθα τοιγαροῦν τῇ τοῦ θείου λογισμοῦ παθοκρατίᾳ. |
| 13:17 | οὕτως παθόντας ἡμᾶς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰι καὶ Ἰακὼβ ὑποδέξονται, καὶ πάντες οἱ πατέρες ἐπαινέσουσιν. |
| 13:18 | καὶ ἐνὶ ἑκάστῳ τῶν ἀποσπωμένων αὐτῶν ἀδελφῶν ἔλεγον οἱ περιλειπόμενοι Μὴ καταισ χύνῃς ἡμᾶς, ἀδελφέ, μηδέ ψεύσῃ τοὺς προαποθανόντας. |
| 13:19 | Οὐκ ἀγνοεῖτε δὲ τὰ τῆς ἀνθρωπότητος φίλτρα, ἄπερ ἡ θεία καὶ πάνσοφος πρόνοια διὰ τῶν πατέρων τοῖς γενναομένοις ἐμέρισεν, καὶ διὰ τῆς μητρῷος φυτεύσισα γαστρός· |
| 13:20 | ἐν ἦ τὸν ἴσον ἀδελφοὶ κατοικήσαντες χρόνον, καὶ ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ χρόνῳ πλασθέντες, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ αὐτοῦ αἵματος αὐξηθέντες, καὶ διὰ τῆς αὐτῆς ψυχῆς τελεσφορηθέντες, |
| 13:21 | καὶ διὰ τῶν ἴσων ἀποτεχθεντες χρόναον, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν γαλακτοποτοῦντες πηγῶν, ἀφʼ οὗ συντρέφονται ἐναγκαλισμάτων φιλάδελφοι ψυχαί |
| 13:22 | καὶ αδξονται σφοδρότερον διὰ συντροφίας καὶ τῆς καθʼ ἡμέραν συνηθείας καὶ τῆς ἄλλης παιδίας καὶ τῆς ἡμετέρας ἐν νόμῳ θεοῦ ἀσκήσεως. |
| 13:23 | οὕτως δὴ τοίνυν καθεστηκυίας τῆς φιλαδελφίας συμπαθούσης, οἱ ἑπτὰ ἀδελφοὶ συνπαθέστερον ἔσχον τὴν πρὸς ἀλλήλους ὁμόνοιαν. |
| 13:24 | νόμῳ γὰρ τῷ αὐτῷ παιδευθέντες, καὶ τὰς αὐτὰς ἐξασκήσαντες ἀρετάς, καὶ τῷ δικαίῳ συντραφέντες βίῳ, μᾶλλον ἐφʼ αὐτοὺς ἤγαγον. |
| 13:25 | ἡ γὰρ ὁμοζηλία τῆς καλοκἀγαθίας ἐπέτεινεν αὐτῶν τὴν πρὸς ἀλλήλους ὁμόνοιαν |
| 13:26 | σὺν γὰρ τῇ εὐσεβείᾳ ποθεινοτέραν αὐτοῖς κατεσκεύαζεν τὴν φιλαδελφίαν. |
| 13:27 | ἀλλʼ ὁμοίως καίπερ τῆς φύσεως καὶ τῆς συνηθείας καὶ τῶν τῆς ἀρετῆς ἠθῶν τὰ τῆς ἀδελφότητος αὐτοῖς φίλτρα συναυξόντων, ἀνέσχοντο διὰ τὴν εὺσέβειαν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς οἱ ὑπολελιμμένοι τοὺς καταικιζομένους ὁρῶντες μέχρι θαυάτου βασανιζομένους. |

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.
