| 4:1 | Ἰδοὺ εἶ καλὴ πλησίον μου, ἰδοὺ εἶ καλή. ὀφθαλμοί σου περιστεραὶ ἐκτὸς τῆς σιωπήσεώς σου. τρίχαμά σου ὡς ἀγέλαι τῶν αἰγῶν αἳ ἀπεκαλύφθησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ Γαλαάδ. |
| 4:2 | ὀδόντες σου ὡς ἀγέλαι τῶν κεκαρμέναων αἳ ἀνέβησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ λουτροῦ, αἱ πᾶσαι διδυμεύουσαι, καὶ ἀτεκνοῦσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐταῖς. |
| 4:3 | ὡς σπαρτίον τὸ κόκκινον χείλη σου, καὶ ἡ λαλιά σου ὡραία· ὡς λέπυρον ῥόας μῆλόν σου ἐκτὸς τῆς σιωπήσεως σου. |
| 4:4 | ὡς πύργος Δαυεὶδ τράχηλός σου, ὁ ᾠκοδομημένος εἰς Θαλπιώθ. χίλιοι θυρεοὶ κρέμανται ἐπʼ αὐτόν, πᾶσαι βολίδες τῶν δυνατῶν. |
| 4:5 | δύο μαστοί σου ὡς δύο νεβροὶ δἰδυμοι δορκάδος οἱ νεμόμενοι ἐν κρίνοις. |
| 4:6 | ἕως οὗ διαπνεύσῃ ἡ ἡμέρα καὶ κινηθῶσιν αἱ σκιαί, πορεύσομαι ἐμαυτῷ πρὸς τὸ ὄρος τῆς σμύρνης καὶ πρὸς τὸν βουνὸν τοῦ Λιβάνου. |
| 4:7 | ὅλη καλὴ εἶ πλησίον μου, καὶ μῶμος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν σοί. δεῦρο ἀπὸ Λιβάνου, νύμφη, δεῦρο ἀπὸ Λιβάνου· ἐλεύσῃ καὶ διελεύσῃ ἀπὸ ἀρχῆς πίστεως. ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς Σανεὶρ καὶ Ἑρμών, ἀπὸ μανδρῶν λεόντων, ἀπὸ ὀρέων παρδάλεων. |
| 4:9 | ἐκαρδίωσας ἡμᾶς, ἀδελφή μου νύμφη· ἐκαρδίωσας ἡμᾶς ἑνὶ ἀπὸ ὀφθαλμῶν σου, ἐν μιᾷ, ἐν θέματι τραχήλων σου. |
| 4:10 | τί ἐκαλλιώθησαν μαστοί σου ἀπὸ οἴνου, καὶ ὀσμὴ ἱματίων σου ὑπὲρ πάντα ἀρώματα |
| 4:11 | κηρίον ἀποστάζουσιν χείλη σου, νύμφη· μέλι καὶ γάλα ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσάν σου, καὶ ὀσμὴ ἱματίων σου ὡς ὀσμὴ Λβάνου. |
| 4:12 | κῆπος κεκλεισμένος ἀδελφή μου νύμφη, κῆπος κεκλεισμένος, πηγὴ ἐσφραγισμένη· |
| 4:13 | ἀποστολαί σου παράδεισος μετὰ καρποῦ ἀκροδρύων, κύπροι μετὰ νάρδων· |
| 4:14 | νάρδος καὶ κρόκος, κάλαμος καὶ κιννάμαωμον μετὰ πάντων ξύλων τοῦ Λιβάνου, σμύρνα ἀλὼθ μετὰ πάνταον πρώτων μύρων· |
| 4:15 | πηγὴ κήπου καὶ φρέαρ ὕδατος ζῶντος καὶ ῥοιζοῦντος ἀπὸ τοῦ Λιβάνου. |
| 4:16 | Ἐξεγέρθητι, βορρᾶ· καὶ ἔρχου. νότε, καὶ διάπνευσον κῆπόν μου, καὶ ῥευσάτωσαν ἀρώματά μου. |

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.
