| 49:1 | μνημόσυνον Ἰωσείου εἰς σύνθεσιν θυμιάματος, ἐσκευασμένον ἔργῳ μυρεψοῦ· (2) ἐν παντὶ στόματι ὡς μέλι γλυκανθήσεται, καὶ ὡς μουσικὰ ἐν συμποσίῳ οἴνου. |
| 49:2 | αὐτὸς κατευθύνθη ἐν ἐπιστροφῇ λαοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆρεν βδελύγματα ἀνομίας· |
| 49:3 | κατεύθυνεν πρὸς Κύριον τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἡμέραις ἀνόμων κατίσχυσεν τὴν εὐσέβειαν. |
| 49:4 | παρέξ Δαυεὶδ καὶ Ἐζεκίου καὶ Ἰωσείου πάντες πλημμελίαν ἐπλημμέλησαν· (6) κατέλιπον γὰρ τὸν νόμον τοῦ ὑψίστου, οἱ βασιλεῖς Ἰούδα ἐξέλιπον. |
| 49:5 | ἔδωκαν γὰρ τὸ κέρας αὐτῶν ἑτέροις καὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν ἔθνει ἀλλοτρίῳ· |
| 49:6 | ἐνεπύρισεν ἐκλεκτὴν πόλιν ἁγιάσματος, καὶ ἠρήμωσαν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῆς |
| 49:7 | ἐν χειρὶ Ἰερεμίου· ἐκάκωσαν γὰρ αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν μήτρᾳ ἡγιάσθη προφήτης, ἐκριζοῦν καὶ κακοῦν καὶ ἀπολλύειν, ὡσαύτως οἰκοδομεῖν καὶ καταφυτεύειν. |
| 49:8 | Ἰεζεκιήλ, ὃς εἶδεν ὅρασιν δόξης ἣν ὑπέδειξεν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ ἄρματος χερουβείμ· |
| 49:9 | καὶ γὰρ ἐμνήσθη τῶν ἐχθρῶν ἐν ὄμβρῳ, καὶ ἀγαθῶσαι τοὺς εὐθύνοντας ὁδούς. |
| 49:10 | καὶ τῶν ιβʼ προφητῶν τὰ ὀστᾶ ἀναθάλοι ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῶν. παρεκάλεσεν δὲ τὸν Ἰακώβ, καὶ ἐλυτρώσατο αὐτοὺς ἐν πίστει ἐλπίδος. |
| 49:11 | πῶς μεγαλύνωμεν τὸν Ζοροβαβέλ ; καὶ αὐτὸς ὡς σφραγὶς ἐπὶ δεξιᾶς χειρός. |
| 49:12 | οὕτως Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ἰωσεδὲκ· οἳ ἐν ἡμέραις αὐτῶν οἰκοδόμησαν οἶκον καὶ ἀνύψωσαν λαὸν ἅγιον Κυρίῳ ἡτοιμασμένον εἰς δόξαν αἰῶνος. |
| 49:13 | καὶ νέμουσιν ἐπὶ πολὺ τὸ μνημόσυνον τοῦ ἐγείραντος ἡμῖν τείχη πεπτωκότα, καὶ στήσαντος πύλας καὶ μοχλούς, καὶ ἀνεγείραντος τὰ οἰκόπεδα ἡμῶν. |
| 49:14 | οὐδὲ εἶς ἐκτίσθη οἷος Ἑνὼχ τοιοῦτος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸς ἀνελήμφθη ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς· |
| 49:15 | ὁ δὲ Ἰωσὴφ ἐγενήθη ἀνήρ. ἡγούμενος ἀδελφῶν, στήριγμα λαοῦ, (18)καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ ἐπεσκέπησαν. |
| 49:16 | Σὴμ καὶ Σὴθ ἐν ἀνθρώποις ἐδοξάσθησαν, καὶ ὑπέρ πᾶν ζῷον ἐν τῇ κτίσει Ἀδάμ. |

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.
