Then the king was filled with admiration and said: “Truly I have not found a wise man as this one.” But God, who had given glory and grace to the prophet Daniel in the presence of the Chaldean and Persian kings, also gave glory to this saint in the presence of the kings of the Saracens. And the king honored him, called him patriarch at every moment because of the grace of God which was in him.

It happened at that time that the king of Makouria sent some of his servants to the archbishop with letters, announcing to him how the bishops of his country had become few in number because of the length of the journey and the time it took on the way, because one could not pass because of the king of Maurotania, until peace had been made with him. For there were two kings established over that country and both were Christians; but they were not at peace with each other, because one of them had made peace with the king of the Saracens, that was the king of Maurotania; but the other, the king of Makuria, had not made peace with the king of the Saracens.

When the archbishop had read the king's letters and had learned what they contained, he was greatly saddened at heart, because of the churches; and immediately he wrote letters to the king of Maurotania, giving him advice and instructions with words from holy Scripture, and saying to him: “You are both Christians.”

And so he gave up his soul into the hands of God, the faithful and confessor archbishop, on the ninth day of Athor.

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.
