5:1	καταβήτω ἀδελφιδός μου εἰς κῆπον αὐτοῦ καὶ φαγέτω καρπὸν ἀκροδρύων αὐτοῦ. (¹)Εἰοῆλθον εἰς κῆπον, ἀδελφή μου νύμφη· ἐτρύγησα σμύρναν μου μετὰ ἀρωμάτων μου, ἔφαγον ἄρτον μου μετὰ μέλιτός μου, ἔπιον οἶνόν μου μετὰ γάλακτός μου. φάγετε, πλησίοι, καὶ πίετε καὶ μεθύσθητε, ἀδελφοί
5:2	Ἐγὼ καθεύδω, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου ἀγρυπνεῖ φωνὴ ἀδελφιδοῦ μου, κρούει ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν Ἄνοιξόν μοι, ἀδελφή μου, ἡ πλησίον μου. περιστερά μου, τελεία μου, ὅτι ἡ κεφαλή μου ἐπλήσθη δρόσου καὶ οἱ βόστρυχοί μου ψεκάδων νυκτός.
5:3	ἐξεδυσάμην τὸν χιτῶνά μου, πῶς ἐνδύσωμαι αὐτόν; ἐνιψάμην τοὺς πόδας μου, πῶς μολυνῶ αὐτούς;
5:4	ἀδελφιδός μου ἀπέστειλεν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς ὀπῆς. καὶ ἡ κοιλία μου ἐθροήθη ἐπʼ αὐτόν.
5:5	ἀνέστην ἐγὼ ἀνοῖξαι τῷ ἀδελφιδῷ μου. χεῖρές μου ἔσταξαν σμύρναν, δάκτυλοί μου σμύρναν πλήρη ἐπὶ χεῖρας τοῦ κλείθρου.
5:6	ἤνοιξα ἐγὼ τῷ ἀδελφιδῷ μου, ἀδελφιδός μου παρῆλθεν· ψυχή μου ἐξῆλθεν ἐν λόγῳ αὐτοῦ· ἐζήτησα αὐτὸν καὶ οὐχ εὖρον αὐτόν, ἐκάλεσα αὐτὸν καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσέν μου.
5:7	εὕροσάν με οἱ φύλακες οἱ κυκλοῦντες ἐν τῇ πόλει. ἐπάταξάν με, ἐτραυμάτισάν με· ἦραν τὸ θέριστρόν μου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ φύλακες τῶν τειχέων
5:8	Ὥρκισα ὑμᾶς, θυγατέρες Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἐν ταῖς δυνάμεσιν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἰσχύσεσιν τοῦ ἀγροῦ, ἐὰν εὕρητε τὸν ἀδελφιδόν μου, τί ἀπαγγείλητε αὐτῷ; ὅτι τετρωμένη ἀγάπης ἐγώ.
5:9	Τί ἀδελφιδός σου ἀπὸ ἀδελφιδοῦ, ἡ καλὴ ἐν γυναιείν, τἰ ἀδελφιδός σου ἀπὸ ἀδελφιδοῦ, ὅτι οὕτως ὥρκισας ἡμᾶς;
5:10	Ἀδελφιδός μου λευκὸς καὶ πυρρός, ἐκλελοχισμένος ἀπὸ μυριάδων.
5:11	κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ χρυσίον καὶ φάζ, βόστρυχοι αὐτοῦ ἐλάται, μέλανες ὡς κόραξ.
5:12	Ζφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ὡς περιστεραὶ ἐπὶ πληρώματα ὑδάτων λελουσμέναι ἐν γάλακτι, καθήμεναι ἐπὶ πληρώματα.
5:13	σιαγόνες αὐτοῦ ὡς φιάλαι τοῦ ἀρώματος φύουσαι μυρεψικά, χείλη αὐτοῦ κρίνα στάζοντα σμύρναν πλήρη.
5:14	χεῖρες αὐτοῦ τορευταὶ χρυσαῖ πεπληραομέναι Θαρσείς. κοιλία αὐτοῦ πυξίον ἐλεφάντινον ἐπὶ λίθου σαπφείρου.
5:15	κνῆμαι αὐτοῦ στύλοι μαρμάρινοι τεθεμελιωμένοι ἐπὶ βάσεις χρυσᾶς· εἶδος αὐτοῦ ὡς Λίβανος, ἐκλεκτὸς ὡς κέδροι.
5:16	φάρυγξ αὐτοῦ γλυκασμοὶ καὶ ὅλος ἐπιθυμία. οὗτος ἀδελφιδός μου καὶ οὗτος πλησίον μου, θυγατέρες Ἰερουσαλήμ.
5:17	Ποῦ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφιδός σου, ἡ καλὴ ἐν γυναιξίνς; ποῦ ἀπέβλεψεν ὁ ἀδελφιδός σους; καὶ ζητήσομεν αὐτὸν μετὰ σοῦ.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
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).

L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.

L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.

English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
