| 7:1 | Εἰμὶ μέν κἀγὼ θνητὸς ἴσος ἄπασιν, καὶ γηγενοῦς ἀπόγονος πρωτοπλάστου· καὶ ἐν κοιλίᾳ μητρὸς ἐγλύφην σὰρξ |
| 7:2 | δεκαμηνιαίῃ χρόνῳ, παγεὶς ἐν αἵματι ἐκ σπέρματος ἀνδρὸς καὶ ἡδονῆς ὕπνῳ συνελθούσης· |
| 7:3 | καὶ ἐγὼ δέ γενόμενος ἔσπασα τὸν κοινὸν ἀέρα, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ὁμοιοπαθῆ κατέπεσον γῆν, πρώτην φωνὴν τὴν ὁμοίαν πᾶσιν ἴσα κλαίων· |
| 7:4 | ἐν σπαργάνοις ἀνετράφην καὶ ἐν φροντίσιν. |
| 7:5 | οὐδεὶς γὰρ βασιλεὺς ἑτέραν ἔσχεν γενέσεως ἀρχήν· |
| 7:6 | μια δὲ πάντων εἴσοδος εἰς τὸν βίον ἔξοδός τε ἴση. |
| 7:7 | διὰ τοῦτο εὐξάμην, καὶ φρόνησις ἐδόθη μοι· ἐπεκαλεσάμην, καὶ ἦλθέν μοι πνεῦμα σοφίας. |
| 7:8 | προέκρινα αὐτὴν σκήπτρων καὶ θρόνων, καὶ πλοῦτον οὐδὲν ἡγησάμην ἐν συγκρίσει αὐτῆς· |
| 7:9 | οὐδὲ ὡμοίωσα αὐτῇ λίθον ἀτίμητον, ὅτι ὁ πᾶς χρυσὸς ἐν ὄψει αὐτῆς ψάμμος ὀλίγη, καὶ ὡς πηλὸς λογισθήσεται ἄργυρος ἐναντίον αὐτῆς· |
| 7:10 | ὑπέρ ὑγείαν καὶ εὐμορφίαν ἠγάπησα αὐτήν, καὶ προειλόμην αὐτὴν ἀντὶ φωτὸς ἔχειν, ὅτι ἀκοίμητον τὸ ἐκ ταύτης φέγγος. |
| 7:11 | ἦλθεν δέ μοι τὰ ἀγαθὰ ὁμοῦ πάντα μετ᾿ αὐτῆς. καὶ ἀναρίθμητος πλοῦτος ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς·. |
| 7:12 | εὐφράνθην δὲ ἐπὶ πάντων, ὅτι αὐτῶν ἡγεῖται σοφία, ἠγνόουν δὲ αὐτὴν γένεσιν εἶναι τούτων. |
| 7:13 | ἀδόλως τε ἔμαθον, ἀφθόνως τε μεταδίδωμι. τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτῆς οὐκ ἀποκρύπτομαι· |
| 7:14 | ἀνεκλιπὴς γὰρ θησαυρός ἐστιν ἀνθρώποις, ὃν οἱ χρησάμενοι πρὸς θεὸν ἐστείλαντο φιλίαν, διὰ τὰς ἐκ παιδείας δωρεὰς συσταθέντες. |
| 7:15 | ἐμοὶ δὲ δῴη ὁ θεὸς εἰπεῖν κατὰ γνώμην καὶ ἐνθυμηθῆναι άξίως τῶν δεδομένων. ὅτι αὐνὸς καὶ τῆς σοφίας ὁδηγός ἐστιν καὶ τῶν σοφῶν διορθωτής. |
| 7:16 | ἐν γὰρ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ λόγοι ἡμῶν. πᾶσά τε φρόνησις καὶ ἐργατειῶν ἐπιστήμη. |
| 7:17 | αὐτὸς γάρ μοι ἔδωκεν τῶν ὄντων γνῶσιν ἀψευδῆ, εἰδέναι σύστασιν κόσμου καὶ ἐνέργειαν.στοιχείων, |
| 7:18 | ἀρχὴν καὶ τέλος καὶ μεσότητα χρόνων, τροπῶν ἀλλαγὰς καὶ μεταβολὰς καιρῶν. |
| 7:19 | ἐνιαυτῶν κύκλους καὶ ἀστέρων θέσεις. |
| 7:20 | φύσεις ζώων καὶ θυμοὺς θηρίων, πνευμάτῳν βίας καὶ διαλογισμοὺς ἀνθρώπων, διαφορὰς φυτῶν καὶ δυνάμεις ῥιζῶν. |
| 7:21 | ὅσα τέ ἐστιν κρυπτὰ καὶ ἐμφανῆ ἔγνων· |
| 7:22 | ἡ γὰρ πάντων τεχνῖτις ἐδίδαξέν με σοφία. Ἔοτιν γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ πνεῦμα νοερόν, ἅγιον, μονογενές, πολυμερές, λεπτόν, εὐκίνητον, τρανόν, ἀμόλυντον, σαφές, ἀπήμαντον, φιλάγαθον, ὀξύ, ἀκώλυτον, εὐεργετικόν, |
| 7:23 | φιλάνθραοπον, βέβαιον, ἀσφαλές, ἀμέριμνον. παντοδύυαμον, πανεπίσκοπον, καὶ διὰ πάντων χωροῦν πνευμάτων νοερῶν καθαρῶν λεπτοτάτων. |
| 7:24 | πάσης γὰρ κινήσεως κινητικώτερον σοφία, διήκει δὲ καὶ χωρεῖ διὰ πάντων διὰ τὴν καθαρότητα. |
| 7:25 | ἀτμὶς γάρ ἐστιν τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ δυνάμεως, καὶ ἀπόρροια τῆς τοῦ παντοκράτορος δόξης εἰλικρινής· δμὼ τοῦτο οὐδέν μεμιαμμένον εἰς αὐτὴν παρεμπίπτει. |
| 7:26 | ἀπαύγασμα γάρ ἐστιν φωτὸς ἀιδίου, καὶ ἔσοπτρον ἀκηλίδωτον τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ ἐνεργείας, καί εἰκὼν τῆς ἀγαθότητος αὐτοῦ. |
| 7:27 | μια δὲ οὖσα πάντα δύναται, καὶ μένουσα ἐν αὑτῇ τὰ πάντα καινίζει, καὶ κατὰ γενεὰς εἰς ψυχὰς ὁσίας μεταβαίνουσα φίλους θεοῦ καὶ προφήτας κατασκευάζει· |
| 7:28 | σύθὲν γὰρ ἀγαπῷ ὁ θεὸς εἰ μὴ τὸν σοφίᾳ συνοικοῦντα. |
| 7:29 | ἔστιν γὰρ αὕτη εὐπρεπεστέρα ἡλίου, καὶ ὑπέρ πᾶσαν ἄστρων θέσιν. φωτὶ συνκρινομένη εὺρίσκεται προτέρα· |
| 7:30 | τοῦτο μέν γὰρ διαδέχεται νύξ, σοφίας δὲ οὐκ ἀντισχύει κακία. |

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.
