| 31:25 | Ἐν οἴνῳ μὴ ἀνδρίζου. πολλοὺς γὰρ ἀπὼλεσεν ὁ οἶνος· |
| 31:26 | κάμινος δοκιμάζει στόμωμα ἐν βαφῇ, οὕτως οἶνος καρδίας ἐν μάχῃ ὑπερηφάνων. |
| 31:27 | ἔφισον ζωῆς οἶνος ἀνθρώπᾳῳ, ἐὰν πίνῃς αὐτὸν μέτρῳ αὐτοῦ· ᵃ³τἰς ζωὴ ἐλασσουμένῳ οἴνῳ (35)καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκτισται εἰς εὐφροσύνην ἀνθρώποις. |
| 31:28 | ἀγαλλίαμα καρδίας καὶ εὐφροσύνη ψυχῆς οἶνος πινόμενος ἐυ καιρῷ αὐτάρκης· |
| 31:29 | πικρία ψυχῆς οἶνος πινόμενος πολὺς ἐν ἐρεθισμῷ καὶ ἀντιπτώματι. |
| 31:30 | πληθύνει μέθη θυμὸν ἄφρονος εἰς πρόσκομμα. ἐλαττῶν ἰσχὺν καὶ προσποιῶν τραύματα. |
| 31:31 | ἐν συμποσίῳ οἴνου μὴ ἐλέγξῃς τὸν πλησίον, καὶ μὴ ἐξουθενήσῃς αὐτὸν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ αὐτοῦ· (42)λόγον ὀνειδισμοῦ μὴ εἶπῃς αὐτῷ, καὶ μὴ αὐτὸν θλίψῃς ἐν ἀπαιτήσει. |

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.
