| 6:1 | Ἀκούσατε οὗν, βασιλεῖς, καὶ σύνετε· μάθετε, δικασταὶ περάτων γῆς· |
| 6:2 | ἐνωτίσασθε, οἱ κρατοῦντες πλήθους καὶ γεγαυρωμένοι ἐπὶ ὄχλοις ἐθνῶν. |
| 6:3 | ὅτι ἐδόθη παρὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡ κράτησις ὑμῖν. καὶ ἡ δυναστεία παρὰ Ὑψίστου, ὃς ἐξετάσει ὑμῶν τὰ ἔργα καὶ τὰς βουλὰς διεραυνήσει· |
| 6:4 | ὅτι ὑπηρέται ὄντες τῆς αὐτοῦ βασιλείας οὐκ ἐκρίνατε ὀρθῶς, οὐδὲ ἐφυλάξατε νόμον, οὐδὲ κατὰ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπορεύθητε |
| 6:5 | φρικτῶς καὶ ταχέως ἐπιστήσεται ὑμῖν, ὅτι κρίσις ἀπότομος ἐν τοῖς ὑπερέχουσιν γίνεται. |
| 6:6 | ὁ γὰρ ἐλάχιστος συγγνωστός ἐστιν ἐλέους, δυνατοὶ δὲ δυνατῶς ἐτασθήσονται· |
| 6:7 | οὐ γὰρ ὑποστελεῖται πρόσωπον ὁ πάντων δεσπότης, οὐδὲ ἐντραπήσεται μέγεθος· ὅτι μικρὸν καὶ μέγαν αὐτὸς ἐποίησεν, ὁμοίως τε προνοεῖ περὶ πάντων· |
| 6:8 | τοῖς δὲ κραταιοῖς ἰσχυρὰ ἐφίσταται ἔραυνᾷ. |
| 6:9 | πρὸς ὑμᾶς οὖν, ὦ τύραννοι, οἱ λόγοι μου, ἴνα μάθητε σοφίαν καὶ μὴ παραπέσητε. |
| 6:10 | οἱ γὰρ φυλάξαντες ὁσίως τὰ ὅσια ὁσιωθήσονται, καὶ οἱ διδαχθέντες αὐτὰ εὑρήσουσιν ἀπολογίαν. |
| 6:11 | ἐπιθυμήσατε οὗν τῶν λόγων μου, ποθήσατε καὶ παιδευθήσεσθε. |
| 6:12 | Λαμπρὰ καὶ ἀμάραντός ἐστιν ἡ σοφία, καὶ εὐχερῶς θεωρεῖται ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγαπώντων αὐτήν· |
| 6:13 | φθάνει τοὺς ἐπιθυμοῦντας προγνωσθῆναι. |
| 6:14 | ὁ ὀρθρίσας ἐπʼ αὐτὴν οὐ κοπιάσει, πάρεδρον γὰρ εὑρήσει τῶν πυλῶν αὐτοῦ. |
| 6:15 | τὸ γὰρ ἐνθυμηθῆναι περὶ αὐτῆς φρονήσεως τελειότης, καὶ ὁ ἀγρυπνήσας δι᾿ αὐτὴν ταχέως ἀμέριμνος ἔσται· |
| 6:16 | ὅτι τοὺς ἀξίους αὐτῆς αὕτη περιέρχεται ζητοῦσα, καὶ ἐν ταῖς τρίβοις φαντάζεται αὐτοῖς εὐμενῶς, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ ἐπινοίᾳ ὑπαντῶ αὐτοῖς. |
| 6:17 | ἀρχὴ γὰρ αὐτῆς ἡ ἀληθεστάτη παιδείας ἐπιθυμία, |
| 6:18 | φροντὶς δὲ παιδείας ἀγάπη, ἀγάπη δὲ τήρησις νόμων αὐτῆς, προσοχὴ δέ νόμων βεβαίωσις ἀφθαρσίας, |
| 6:19 | ἀφθαρσία δὲ ἐγγὺς εἶναι ποιεῖ θεοῦἐπιθυμία |
| 6:20 | ἄρα σοφίας ἀνάγει ἐπὶ βασιλείαν. |
| 6:21 | εἰ οὖν ἥδεσθε ἐπὶ θρόνοις καὶ σκήπτροις, τύραννοι λαῶν, τιμήσατε σοφίαν, ἵνα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα βασιλεύσητε. |
| 6:22 | τί δέ ἐστιν σοφία καὶ πῶς ἐγένετο ἀπαγγελῶ, καὶ οὐκ ἀποκρύψω ὑμῖν μυστήρια, ἀλλὰ ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς γενέσεως ἐξιχνιάσω καὶ θήσω εἰς τὸ ἐμφανές τὴν γνῶσιν αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ μὴ παροδεύσω τὴν ἀλήθειαν· |
| 6:23 | οὔτε μὴν φθόνῳ τετηκότι συνοδεύσαα, ὅτι οὗτος οὐ κοινανήσει σοφίᾳ. |
| 6:24 | πλῆθος δὲ σοφῶν σαντηρία κόσμου, καὶ βασιλεὺς φρόνιμος εὐσταθίᾳ δήμου. |
| 6:25 | ὥστε παιδεύεσθε τοῖς ῥήμασίν μου, καὶ ὠφεληθήσεσθε. |

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.
