| 32:1 | Ἡγούμενόν σε κατέστησαν ; μὴ ἐπαίρου· γίνου ἐν αὐτοῖς ὡς εἰς ἐξ αὐτῶν, (2)φρόντισον αὐτῶν καὶ οὕτω κάθισον· |
| 32:2 | καὶ πᾶσαυ τὴν χρείαν σου ποιήσας ἀνάπεσε, (3)ἵα εὐφρανθῇς δι᾿ αὐτούς, καὶ εὐκοσμίας χάριν λάβῃς στέφανον. |
| 32:3 | Λάλησον, πρεσβύτερε, πρέπει γάρ σοι, (5)ἐν ἀκριβεῖ ἐπιστήμῃ, καὶ μὴ ἐμποδίσῃς μουσικά. |

| 32:6 | ἐν κατασκευάσματι χρυσῷ σφραγὶς σμαράγδου, μέλος μουσικῶν ἐφʼ ἡδεῖ οἴνῳ. |
| 32:7 | λάλησον, νεανίσκε, εί χρεία σου, (¹¹)μόλις δὶς ἐὰν ἐπερωτηθῇς· |

| 32:14 | Ὁ φοβούμενος Κύριον ἐκδέξεται παιδίαν, καὶ οἱ ὀρθρίζοντες εὑρήσουσιν εὐδοκίαν· |
| 32:15 | ὁ ζητῶν νόμον ἐμπλησθήσεται αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ ὑποκρινόμενος σκανδαλισθήσεται ἐν αὐτῷ· |
| 32:16 | οἱ φοβούμενοι Κύριον είρήσουσιν κρίμα. καὶ δικαιώματα ὡς φῶς ἐξάψουσιν. |
| 32:17 | ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλὸς ἐκκλινεῖ ἐλεγμόν, καὶ κατὰ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει σύγκριμα. |
| 32:18 | ἀνὴρ βουλῆς οὐ μὴ παρίδῃ διανόημα. ἀλλότριος καὶ ὑπερήφανος οὐ καταπτήξει φόβον, (23)καὶ μετὰ τὸ ποιῆσαι μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἄνευ βουλῆς. |
| 32:19 | ἄνευ βουλῆς μηθὲν ποιήσῃς. καὶ ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί σε μὴ μεταμελοῦ. |
| 32:20 | ἐν ὁδῷ ἀντιπτώματος μὴ πορεύου, καὶ μὴ προσκόψῃς ἐν λιθώδεσιν· |

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.
