| 1 | THE DAIR ABU MAQAR FRAGMENTS — martyrdoms (Apa Apoli, Apa Epime …), homilies, lives, liturgical and biblical leaves and two vocabularies, BOHAIRIC AND SAHIDIC per fragment, Coptic in two columns with the English translation beneath. Verified on rendered page 150 = printed p. 90, Frag. 3 (Cairo no. 11B), the martyrdom of Apa Apoli: ⲡⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲡ(ⲁ) ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲓ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲙ̀ⲡⲁⲓ ⲣⲏϯ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲟ̄ⲥ̄ ⲓ̄ⲏ̄ⲥ̄ ⲡ̄ⲭ̄ⲥ̄ … ⲟⲩⲟϩ, ϧⲉⲛ, ⲛ̀ϫⲉ — Bohairic (corpus/incoming/_logs/wboh_samples/evelynwhite_p150-150.png); the table of contents lists "Theodosius, Encomium (Sahidic) on the Archangel Michael", "Horologion, Sahidic and Bohairic", a Sahidic and a Bohairic vocabulary, so the column says `mixed` and each fragment's dialect is Evelyn-White's own heading. |

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.
