| 1:1 | ΑΣΜΑ ἀσμάτων, ὅ ἐστιν τῷ Σαλωμών. |
| 1:2 | Φιλησάτω με ἀπὸ φιλημάτων στόματος αὐτοῦ· ὅτι ἀγαθοὶ μαστοί σου ὑπὲρ οἶνον, |
| 1:3 | ³καὶ ὀσμὴ μύρων σου ὑπέρ πάντα τὰ 3 ἀρώματα· μύρον ἐκκενωθὲν ὄνομά σου. διὰ τοῦτο νεάνιδες ἠγάπησάν σε, |
| 1:4 | εἴλκυσάν σε· ὀπίσω σου εἰς ὀσμὴν μύρσων σου δραμομεν. εἰσήνεγκέν με ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς τὸ ταμεῖον αὐτοῦ. ἀγαλλιασώμεθα καὶ εὐφρανθῶμεν ἐν σοί· ἀγαπήσομεν μαστούς σου ὑπὲρ οἶνον· εὐθύτης ἠγάπησέν σε. |
| 1:5 | Μέλαινά εἰμι καὶ καλή, θυγατέρες Ἰσραήλ, ὡς σκηνώματα Κηδάρ, ὡς δέρρις Σαλωμών. |
| 1:6 | μὴ βλέψητέ με, ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι μεμελανωμένη, ὅτι παρέβλεψέν με ὁ ἥλιος· υἱοὶ μητρός μου ἐμαχέσαντο ἐν ἐμοί, ἔθεντό με φυλάκισσαν ἐν ἀμπελῶσιν· ἀμπελῶνα ἐμὸν οὐκ ἐφύλαξα. |
| 1:7 | ἀπάγγειλόν μοι, ὃν ἠγάπησεν ἡ ψυχή μου. ποῦ ποιμαίνεις, ποῦ κοιτάζεις ἐν μεσημβρίᾳ, μή ποτε γένωμαι ὡς περιβαλλομένη ἐπʼ ἀγέλας ἑταίρων σου. |
| 1:8 | Ἐὰν μὴ γνῷς σεαυτήν, ἡ καλὴ ἐν γυναιξίν, ἔξελθε οὺ ἐν πτέρναις τῶν ποιμνίων, καὶ ποίμαινε τὰς ἐρίφους σου ἐπὶ σκηνώμασιν τῶν ποιμένων. |
| 1:9 | Τῇ ἵππῳ μου ἐν ἅρμασιν Φαραὼ ὡμοἰωσά σε, ἡ πλησίον μου. |
| 1:10 | τί ὡραιώθησαν σιαγόνες σου ὡς τρυγόνες, τράχηλός σου ὡς ὁρμίσκοις |
| 1:11 | ὁμοιώματα χρυσίου ποιήσομέν σοι μετὰ στιγμάτων τοῦ ἀργυρίου. |
| 1:12 | Ἕως οὗ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν ἀνακλίσει αὐτοῦ, νάρδος μου ἔδωκεν ὀσμὴν αὐτοῦ. |
| 1:13 | ἀπόδεσμος τῆς στακτῆς ἀδελφιδός μου ἐμοί. |
| 1:14 | ἐν ἀμπελῶσιν Ἐνγαδδεί. |
| 1:15 | Ἰδοὺ εἶ καλή, ἡ πλησίν μου. ἰδοὺ εἶ καλή· ὀφθαλμοί σου περιστεραί. |
| 1:16 | Ἰδοὺ εἶ καλός. ἀδελφιδός μου. καί γε ὡραῖος· πρὸς κλίνῃ ἡμῶν σύσκιος. |
| 1:17 | δοκοὶ σἴκων ἡμῶν κέδροι, φατνώματα ἡμῶν κυπάρισσοι. |

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.
