| 6144 | Parchment. Three fragments (Cairo, no. 10, ⲓⲟ) from one Ms. Frags. 1—2 are two leaves forming a single |
| 6145 | sheet but not consecutive: the page or folio numbers are lost. Frag. 3 comprises the remains of a similar |
| 6146 | sheet of which the left-hand leaf is represented only by a small and illegible fragment (not reproduced): |
| 6147 | much of the outer portion of the right-hand leaf, which is numbered on the verso A, is lost owing to decay. |
| 6148 | Possibly other fragments of this Ms. may be identified at Leipzig or elsewhere. |
| 6149 | The page measures 33 X 27 ⲥ. the written column 27 x 16 cm. There are guide-lines to every alternate |
| 6150 | line of the text: the stop + (red) is ordinarily used, but =r and 28> occur once each. The hand, a large, regular, |
| 6151 | square uncial (see Plate IV B), resembles the hand of Hyvernat, Album, Plate xxxvi (x century). |
| 6152 | In Frags. 1-2 various Old Testament worthies—Elias, Moses (?), Judith, Gideon—are invoked : the contents |
| 6153 | of Frag. 3 are not altogether clear owing to its damaged condition. Though in all the Virgin is lauded, |
| 6154 | certain indications (see Frag. 1, recto, ll. 24 ff.) suggest that the work was at least formally a Panegyric on |
| 6155 | the Nativity. |

| 6225 | a worker of miracles [who] raised up from the dead [the widow's] son; a nourisher of orphans [in the time of] |
| 6226 | dearth; a smiter [with the sword, who] slew the enemies [of the Lord]; a destroyer of the altars of Baal. What |
| 6227 | shall I say of a man who brought down fire from Heaven at what time he would ? And again, water at what |
| 6228 | time he would ? All these things which were in the power of this man deserve our belief that he used to see God. |
| 6229 | Come, then, today that thou mayest witness the [wonder ? which hath come to pass thereon], namely |
| 6230 | the birth today of this little child of Mary, [come unto Him] Who spake with thee each several time, and. . . ; |
| 6231 | Who suffereth not division nor change, for He is indivisible and un[changing]. |

| 6234 | steeped] in the bitterness of [unbelief] and the impurity of sin; and those waters have become sweet unto this |
| 6235 | day. And mankind hath received baptism in these sweet waters, and believed all upon Emmanuel, and hath |
| 6236 | been faithful together with their children unto this time and for ever and ever. |
| 6237 | Come thou also, O Judith, [wielder ?] of the sword through the spirit—thou who didst cut off therewith |
| 6238 | the head of Holofernes; come, that thou mayest see her who cut off a war from the earth. Thou didst cut |
| 6239 | off the head of a single man, and it was a single people which thou didst deliver. Come that thou mayest |
| 6240 | behold Mary, who. . . : |
| 6241 | 1 The presence of Elijah, as of other Old Testament 3 Presumably the reference is to Exodus xv, 23 ff., and |
| 6242 | worthies (see below), is here invoked. 2 sic. the personage invoked is Moses. |

| 6305 | ...2) O thou who didst give birth to God. . .the Angel of the great council. |
| 6306 | Ⲟ Gideon,? the questioner, wherefore didst thou tempt the Lord, Who raised thee up to be a savior of |
| 6307 | Israel, the people of stiff necks, and didst ask to be given a sign 7 And it was done. The torrents of heaven |
| 6308 | were opened : dew was poured upon a single spot, until the wool of a fleece was filled with it, so that thou |
| 6309 | didst fill a basin of water therewith. Afterwards thou didst ask for the contrary; and the dew watered the |
| 6310 | whole ground, but did not come upon the fleece, that thou mightest know whether thou wouldest find strength |
| 6311 | in the war.—Unless?® (it were that) thou also didst become a man of prophecy; unless thou also didst say |
| 6312 | like David, the forefather of the Christ, who said, “ He shall come down like dew upon a fleece.”’* He, the |
| 6313 | Lord, was the dew, Mary herself was the fleece, the ewe lamb without blemish. |
| 6314 | .. .*the fleece was pure that he might wash (?) when the dews should come upon it. This (the fleece) is |
| 6315 | like the true bride, Mary, the ewe-lamb without stain, upon whom God came down from Heaven. She |
| 6316 | travailed not, but rather rejoiced. This is Mary who stretched forth her branches unto the sea and her boughs |
| 6317 | unto the river,® and her shade covered mountains, that is, the Pharisees—they who say, Ⲛⲉ are the chief |
| 6318 | of the people.” When she covered them, they were obscured through the power of God which overshadowed |
| 6319 | her. Her roots also filled the land: her fruit was exalted more than all the trees of Libanus. This is Mary, |
| 6320 | unto whose feet came all the trees, making her queen over all of them.® She is the bramble,” from which |
| 6321 | cometh fire,—fruitless in that she is virgin; yet she giveth her sweet fruit, Jesus the Christ. |

| 6409 | NEW TEXTS FROM THE MONASTERY OF SAINT MACARIUS |
| 6410 | IX. THEODOSIUS |
| 6411 | Encomium on the Archangel Michael. |
| 6412 | Three fragments from as many different Mss, |
| 6413 | Frag. 1 (Cairo, no. 32), parchment, comprises two consecutive leaves (each 36 x 29.5 cm.) forming the |
| 6414 | central sheet in a quire. These are numbered -ⲏ︦, —i respectively.! The condition of the first leaf is |
| 6415 | extremely bad and reading is correspondingly difficult. The hand is a well-formed, medium-sized uncial, |
| 6416 | probably of the later tenth or eleventh century. No stops are visible. A vertical guide-line is ruled on the |
| 6417 | left of the column, and horizontal guide-lines at unequal intervals in the body of the text. |
| 6418 | The text corresponds only very generally with the published Bohairic version,” where the paragraphs are |
| 6419 | differently arranged, and is far nearer related to the Sahidic.® Hence it appears that there were at least |
| 6420 | two Bohairic recensions of this work. |
| 6421 | Frag. 2 (Cairo, no. 22) is a paper leaf, numbered -ⲕ︦ⲉ︦, and measuring 25 x 15 cm. (column, |
| 6422 | 19 ⲭ 10.7 cm.). No stops are used. For the hand (Plate XXIV A) cp. Zoéga’s Class vir ⲡ. Xxx1, or better |
| 6423 | Brit. Mus. Or. no. 7021. The text, which is in the Sahidic dialect, corresponds generally but not exactly with |
| 6424 | the published Sahidic version.® |
| 6425 | Frag. 3 (Cairo, no. 324%%ii), parchment, is a fragment (14 Ⲭ 23 cm.) from a leaf with a written column |
| 6426 | 17.5 cm. wide. The peculiar angular hand (see Plate X 8, ii) is the same as the hand of No. xxxv, Ⲉ. 3. The |
| 6427 | only stop used is -. The text corresponds generally with the published Bohairic version,” though here again |
| 6428 | the relation to the Sahidic is closer.? |

| 6488 | bring evil upon Job, since he was bound?” He saith. .. |
| 6489 | *Harken and I [will inform thee. . .] Paul the. ..Apostle saith® “The servant of Satan buffeteth me...” |
| 6490 | Our good Savior spake (?) unto him saying: “Get thee behind me, Satan.”* |
| 6491 | But now we will not linger over this story (ⲟ) nor spend long time in speaking of him who hateth |
| 6492 | our race: ϯⲒⲉ what has been said suffice (?). Rather let us return unto the Conqueror, the honored wearer |
| 6493 | of the crown, the Archangel Michael, who hath prepared (7) for us today the glorious table of the great |
| 6494 | festival which is spread for us today in the heavens and upon the earth according to the commandment, |
| 6495 | our Lord Jesus the Christ Himself, (Who is) one God, and one Lord, and one Kingdom existent in the Holy |
| 6496 | Trinity which is consubstantial for ever. |
| 6497 | Now as for us, O my beloved, since we know how great a potentate is the great Archangel, let us rejoice |
| 6498 | with him whom God hath glorified; [let us} eat of the good things which the holy Archangel Michael hath |
| 6499 | prepared for us. But thou wilt say: “Since it is a royal banquet, it befits us to hold back until they |
| 6500 | are summoned before us, who are the nobles of the Palace of the King and of his Chief Captain Michael. |
| 6501 | Afterwards let us follow them.” (It is well spoken ; for) as was said above, |

| 6593 | unto you:—Adam and Abel, and Seth his son; Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and |

| 6596 | the Prophets; the Three Holy (Children), Elias and Elisha the great Prophets; Zacharias the Priest with |
| 6597 | John his son and the Twelve Apostles; Stephen the Archdeacon, the righteous old man, the Priest Simeon, |
| 6598 | and all the Martyrs. |

| 6610 | say unto him: “Hail, my holy Father! Hail, Father of all mankind and of my holy Fathers who have been |
| 6611 | and who shall be.” If I give him these three greetings which befit his glory at this festival, doubtless he will |
| 6612 | cry out like a good father to his son: “Come, let us rejoice with thee today at this great festival.” And when |
| 6613 | Ⲓ find boldness of speech before him, I will ask him: “My lord Father, art thou not he whom God fashioned |
| 6614 | with His own hands, whom He filled with (the glory of) His likeness and His image ? Art thou not he |
| 6615 | whom God commanded, saying: ‘ Eat of the trees. ..”” |

| 6642 | God hath ordered (everything): let us prepare (the table) for the archon.” For the time was come for a |

| 6645 | glistening garments and went to the Synaxis in great joy. And when they were entered into the sanctuary |
| 6646 | of the Archangel Michael, they fell down upon their faces giving “thanks unto God and saying: “Thanks * Verso |

| 6692 | ENCOMIA ON GABRIEL AND ELIAS |
| 6693 | X. ENCOMIUM ON THE ARCHANGEL GABRIEL |
| 6694 | Parchment. Single leaf (Cairo, no. 39), 26.2 x 20 cm., numbered ⲕ︦ⲇ︦. The hand is a good-sized, rounded |
| 6695 | uncial, perhaps the same as the hand of No. x11. The leaf has been exposed to rain and much of the text is |
| 6696 | indecipherable, |
| 6697 | The text deals with the Archangel Gabriel and may be from the Encomium by Archelaus, extant in Cod. |
| 6698 | Vat. Copt. L1x. No doubt the leaf at Leipzig (Cod. Tisch. xxvi1, 21), paged ⲓ︦ⲍ︦, Ti, belonged to the same ms. |

| 6707 | XI. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM |
| 6708 | Encomium on the Prophet Elias. |
| 6709 | Parchment. One leaf (Cairo, no. 53), 34 x 23.5 cm. The written column measures 28 ⲭ 17 cm. There are |
| 6710 | horizontal guide-lines to every second line of the text and a vertical line on the left of the column. The |
| 6711 | only stops used are — and -. The hand, a somewhat large and thick uncial (see Plate XV a), is identical |
| 6712 | with the script of a leaf in the Rylands Library! also dealing with Elias and doubtless brought by Tattam |
| 6713 | from Dér Abi Makéar.2 Certainly the two leaves belonged to the same manuscript, from which (as their size, |
| 6714 | contents, and script indicate) three leaves at Leipzig are also derived.? |
| 6715 | Our leaf contains the peroration and conclusion of the Encomium published by Budge* from one of the |
| 6716 | Curzon Mss. ; but the divergence of the two texts is considerable and raises once more the question of various |
| 6717 | recensions (see above, No. x, Introductory Note). The defective Curzon ms. (doubtless one of the Coptic |
| 6718 | volumes acquired by Curzon at Dér es Suriin®) has a colophon stating that it was presented by Papa Stauros, |
| 6719 | a monk in the Laura of John (the Little) and a ‘son’ of the Cell Pehdout, to the Church of Saint Elias.® |
| 6720 | Our fragment is of interest as containing an exhortation to ‘hasten into the Oratory of the holy Elias’— |
| 6721 | doubtless a reference to the local Church of Elias, and therefore suggesting that the recension is ‘Nitrian’ |
| 6722 | in origin. |

| 6724 | 3 Cod. Tisch. xxv111, 2-4 (see Leipoldt, ap. Vollers, Kat., ‘Behfit’) was probably identical with the Mon. of the |

| 6793 | For this cause therefore, my beloved, let us love purity, let us cast away from us uncleanness which the |
| 6794 | Lord abhors more than all (other) sins. Let love dwell among us; for love covereth a multitude of sins:! |

| 6796 | faith ⲟ shall we [put away] defilement and. . . ., purifying our souls and our bodies and our conscience. |
| 6797 | Let us hasten into the Oratory? of that pure one, the holy Elias—he whom we [commemorate] today.* Let |
| 6798 | us sing of him with spiritual songs, to the end that we may gain grace [from the Lord Jesus the Christ], |
| 6799 | “that He may forgive us our sins, and that we may make ourselves worthy of His pure Body and Blood. So shall |
| 6800 | we keep the feast of the holy Elias, each one according to his ability. For he requires nothing from us beyond |
| 6801 | [our power, but only bread whereon we shall feast together with him on the day of his Commemoration. |
| 6802 | If we give] a cup of cold water according to our power, we shall make ourselves worthy of the blessing of |
| 6803 | the holy Elias, even as the widow of Sarepta in Sidonia made herself worthy of it. She also will be with us |
| 6804 | to make us worthy thereof through the prayer of the holy Elias the Tishbite, by the grace and the high power |
| 6805 | of our Lord, and our God, and our Savior, Jesus the Christ; |
| 6806 | Through Whom all glory and all honor and all worship befitteth Him together with the Father and the |

| 6813 | MIRACLES OF SAINT GEORGE |
| 6814 | ⲭⲏ. ENCOMIUM ON THE THREE CHILDREN |
| 6815 | Parchment. Two leaves (Cairo, nos. 18, ⲓⲑ) from one Ms., measuring 29 xX 21 and 29.5 x 21 cm. No |
| 6816 | page or folio numbers are distinguishable. Large fragments have been torn off the upper right and lower left |
| 6817 | corners of the second leaf. Both are stained a deep brown, having apparently been soaked in oil, and when |
| 6818 | found were caked with mud. The hand is a good-sized uncial probably of the tenth or eleventh century. The |
| 6819 | only stop used is a high = (black ink). |
| 6820 | Other fragments of the same ms. are extant. (1) Two leaves (forming a single sheet), 29.5 x 23 cm., were |
| 6821 | in Sept. 1908 in the possession of a Spanish duke.! The first leaf begins: ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ .....] |

| 6824 | seal (woowp). So he took Joakim and Jekonias to Babylon. And when the King had regained his calm |
| 6825 | (ⲉⲣⲛⲏⲫⲓⲛ), he bade ⲙⲁⲛⲏ, his chief eunuch (cp. Dan. 1, 11), to bring him chosen royal youths from the |
| 6826 | Judaean captives. Thus were the Three Holy Children brought to him ; and Nebuchadnezzar rejoiced at their |
| 6827 | disposition and knowledge. He bade give them of the perfumed wine which he himself drank and of the royal |
| 6828 | food; but they decided not to eat of such meat. ..”’* In the second leaf (numbered on the verso A) the Devil |
| 6829 | urges the King to fashion his image ⲧⲉⲕϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲕⲥⲧⲩⲗⲏ) and set it up in the ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲏⲣⲁ ⲕⲟⲓ finpa |
| 6830 | “the field of Ur”)* in the land of Babylon and command all men to worship it. The leaf ends: ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲁ |
| 6831 | ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲧⲁϩⲟ. (2) Two leaves at Leipzig (Cod. Tisch. xxvii, 5, 6)° belong to the same Ms. On their relation |
| 6832 | to the new fragments see below. |
| 6833 | In our Frag. 1 the Three refuse to worship the image of the King, who in his anger orders their punishment. |
| 6834 | The text begins—mergwit ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϫⲟⲕϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ, and ends—rvoTe ⲛⲁⲃ[ⲟϯⲩⲭⲟⲇⲟⲛⲟⲥⲟⲣ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩ[ⲥⲁ]ϩⲛⲓ ⲛϩⲁⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ |

| 6837 | The following gloss incorporated in the text (verso ll. 16 ff.) may be quoted: ⲡⲓϫⲁϫⲓ ⲑⲱⲗ ⲉ̀ⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲧⲟϩ |
| 6838 | ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉ(ⲛ) ⲡⲓⲙⲁϩⲓ. |
| 6839 | Frag. 2 deals with the death of the Three (Pashons 10) after receiving promise from God of the honors |
| 6840 | to be paid them after death. The text begins—(l. 8) ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ [ⲉⲑⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ] ϧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲏ [ⲛ̄ⲧⲟⲩ]ϫⲟⲥ [ϫⲉ] |

| 6842 | followed by slight fragments of four further lines. This leaf was immediately preceded by Cod. Tisch. xxvii, |

| 6844 | The complete text is extant (Cod. Vai. Copt. Lx1X, 5 7). The volume to which these leaves belonged was |
| 6845 | perhaps deliberately discarded as a duplicate not worth repair, |
| 6846 | XII. MIRACLES OF SAINT GEORGE |
| 6847 | Parchment. A single leaf (Cairo, no. 26) numbered —pn, the last of quire (sic), and measuring 29 x 24 cm. |
| 6848 | There are no stops: vertical guide-lines are used to define the column, horizontal for every other line of the |
| 6849 | text. The hand is rounded and of good size, similar to that of No. x11, but ⲛ and ⲙ are so carelessly formed |
| 6850 | as to be often indistinguishable, |
| 6851 | The Miracle recorded (the appearance of Saint George to a certain ‘ King,” perhaps Constantine, in order |
| 6852 | to secure the deposition of a Steward of the Precinct of Saint George) does not appear in the series of Nine |
| 6853 | Miracles of Saint George edited by Budge.® |
| 6854 | The Bohairic texts relating to Saint George all appear to be derived from the Monasteries of Wadi ⲡ |
| 6855 | Natr(in: the Bodleian ms. (dated 1293) belonged to ““ the Church of the Virgin in the Monastery of Baramfs,” |
| 6856 | and may have been brought thence by Huntington ;? the Rylands ms. was formerly in Tattam’s possession? |
| 6857 | and therefore was very possibly derived from one of the Four Monasteries ; the Vatican ms. (Cod. Vat. Copt. |
| 6858 | LXIX, 5) is part of Assemani’s spoils from Dér Abi Makar. Does Cod. Tisch. xxvi, 29° come from another |
| 6859 | part of the same Ms. ? |

| 6916 | And when the King was arisen, he went into the fopos to pray, and found all the people looking towards |
| 6917 | him with joy; because they had found a righteous King, perfect after God's own heart, like David and |
| 6918 | Solomon. And when he had prayed, he sat down; and they all showed him *and informed him concerning |
| 6919 | the steward of unrighteousness, telling him of his pitilessness towards the poor and needy, saying: “We |
| 6920 | know of what sort (?) are all the things which this man hath done unto this day, but we could not speak |
| 6921 | because of the idolatry which was spread abroad over the whole ⲉⲓⲏ. But now, O our Lord, that God |
| 6922 | hath sent thee unto us as a deliverer, do justice according to thy wisdom.” |
| 6923 | And the King declared unto all the multitude those things which the holy George had spoken unto him |
| 6924 | concerning the steward in the vision. And he sent straightway and caused them to destroy his house and |
| 6925 | his garners; and they cast him out of the fopos. And they made inquiry throughout all the city and found |

| 6935 | Parchment. Three complete leaves (Cairo, no. 51) from one Ms., each 28 x 21 cm. Frag. ⲓ is the outermost |
| 6936 | sheet of quire & comprising two leaves paged respectively Ax, Aa and (WY), ⲙ︦ⲏ︦. The initial and |
| 6937 | final quire-headings are: v—nas—(Ornament)—nan—Aaw, and ⲙ︦ⲏ︦- ⲓ︦ⲏ︦ⲥ︦- (Ⲟⲅⲡⲁⲡⲡ)-ⲛⲭ︦ⲥ︦-ⲅ̄. The first |

| 6957 | XV. THE MARTYRDOM OF THEODORE THE STRATELATES |
| 6958 | Parchment. A complete leaf and two fragments (Cairo, no. 49. i-iii) from a single ms. Frag. 1, measuring |
| 6959 | 27.5 x 21 cm., has a written column of 23 x 13 cm. : there is a vertical guide-line to the left of the column, |
| 6960 | but no apparent traces of horizontal ruling. Frag. 2 (27.5 ⲓⲓ cm.) is the outer edge of a leaf; Frag. 3 is the |
| 6961 | middle portion of a sheet of two leaves measuring respectively 6 x 12.5 cm. and 10 xX 20.5 cm. A fourth |
| 6962 | fragment, 6.5 x 22 cm., is the top of a leaf numbered on the verso ⲕ︦ⲇ︦, but comes from another Ms. as the |
| 6963 | larger hand and wider column show. The minor fragments, though inconsiderable, are here published in the |
| 6964 | hope that their complements may be identified at Leipzig or elsewhere. |
| 6965 | The script of Frags. ⲓ- (see Plate XI ⲃ, and cp. Hyvernat, Album, Plate xx) is identical with the script |
| 6966 | of certain leaves at Leipzig, Cod. Tisch. xxvI, 23334 all certainly belonged to one ms., in which (be it |
| 6967 | noted) Frag. ⲓ immediately preceded Cod. Tisch. xxvi, 28, which begins, ⲙⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁⲕϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲙ̃ⲡⲟⲗⲉ‐ |

| 6969 | As Winstedt has pointed out,’ the version of Theodore’s martyrdom thus represented was distinct from |
| 6970 | the versions of Cod. Vat. Copt. LxVI, 7, and of the other surviving fragments. |
| 6971 | I strongly suspect that the considerable fragment at Turin® (acquired by Drovetti almost certainly from |
| 6972 | the Monastery of Saint Macarius’), belonged to the same ms. as the new fragments and its fellows at Leipzig. |
| 6973 | If this is so, our first and second fragments would belong to the earlier part of the work (missing in the Turin |
| 6974 | ⲙⲑ.) while Frag. 3 (which belongs to the actual martyrdom of the saint) would fall in the lacuna marked |
| 6975 | by de Rossi, closely preceding p. 5 of the Turin ms. Frag. 4 is likely to have belonged to a collection of the |
| 6976 | Miracles of Theodore similar to that contained in Cod. Vat. Copt. LXVI, ⲟϥ |

| 7018 | [It came to pass that when the] “holy man saw the Lord Jesus the Christ with His holy Angels standing |
| 7019 | by Him, while the whole place was filled with light, he feared greatly and became as a dead man. But the |
| 7020 | Savior stretched forth His hand and signed (with the cross) his whole body in the Name of the Father and |
| 7021 | of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. He took away his fear from him, and said unto him: “Take courage, |
| 7022 | Theodore My chosen one, be not afraid. Rise up that I may speak with thee and show thee all those things |
| 7023 | which shall befall thee, to the end that thou mayest be strong of heart and contend in the good contest, until |
| 7024 | thou shalt receive the crown of victory and inherit the good things of the Kingdom of Heaven which I have |
| 7025 | prepared for those who shall love Me and do My will.” |
| 7026 | “Then the holy man Theodore answered: “Who art Thou, my Lord, that I see Thee with this great glory |
| 7027 | about Thee P”” The Savior said unto him: “I am Jesus, thy King: I am the crown of them that take in |
| 7028 | hand to contend for My Name’s sake. Dost thou not remember the day when thou wast sick ? Thou didst |
| 7029 | escape death by saying in the presence of them who surrounded thee :* * Would that I also had become a martyr, |
| 7030 | to die for the name of the Christ, if perchance I might find a little loving mercy at His dreadful judgment- |
| 7031 | seat.” But now, Theodore My chosen, prepare thyself to contend for My Name's sake. Ⲓ have finished pra- |
| 7032 | paring for thee thy dwelling in the Heavens; | have written thy name in the Book of Life.” |

| 7112 | THE MARTYRDOM OF JUSTUS THE STRATELATES |
| 7113 | XVI. THE MARTYRDOM OF JUSTUS THE STRATELATES |
| 7114 | Parchment. Seven leaves or fragments from three mss. (1) Frag. 1 (Cod. Tisch. xx1v, 14%) is the upper |
| 7115 | half of an initial leaf, 21 x 25 cm., paged —&, containing the title (in the usual ornamented framing of cable- |
| 7116 | pattern) of the Martyrdoms of Justus, ⲣⲟ Theoclia, and Eusebius.? Frag. 2 (Cairo, no. 52), a leaf from |
| 7117 | which the outer edge has been torn, measures 31.2 cm. (complete height) x 18.8 cm. (actual width): the |
| 7118 | column is 18.8 cm. wide. The verso is headed iwc (center), as in Frag. 1. In both the hand is a large ⲅⲉ- |
| 7119 | shaped uncial, probably of the x century (see Plate X a). (2) Frags. 3-4 (Cod. Tisch. xx1v, 19, 20%) are |
| 7120 | two consecutive leaves, paged —png, --ⲣ︦ⲛ︦ⲇ︦. now measuring ⲭ 24 and 31 x 25 cm. respectively. The |
| 7121 | hand is a medium, rounded uncial (? late x or ⲭⲓ century): capital letters have dotted ornament (usually -:-) |
| 7122 | and flourishes: capital Ⲟ and € frequently occur in the body of the column. Stops (red), + or >. In the |
| 7123 | right margin of Frag. 3 recto is a drawing of a bird on a conventional spray. (3) Frag. 5 (Cod. Tisch. xxvi, 365), |
| 7124 | 28 x 17 cm., though probably contemporary with Frags. 3-4, can hardly belong to the same ⲙs. differing |
| 7125 | as it does in size and style (e.g. stops have the form =): yet the use of capital O and € elsewhere than at |
| 7126 | the beginning of a paragraph may connect this with the foregoing two leaves. No page-number is visible. |
| 7127 | (4) Frags. 6-7. Two leaves (Cairo, no. 4), not consecutive’ but forming a single sheet, measure 28.5 x 21cm. : the |
| 7128 | column is 23 x 13 cm. There are no page- or folio-numbers. The hand is a thick square uncial, carefully formed |
| 7129 | (1x or x cent.) : the only stop used is -. These leaves (of which the second is the conclusion of the whole |
| 7130 | Discourse) cannot belong to the same Ms. as Frag. 5, since the two texts slightly overlap. The impress of an |
| 7131 | ornamental title-border on the verso of the second leaf shows that the Martyrdom of Justus was followed |
| 7132 | by another work (possibly the Martyrdom of Apoli) in the same volume. Palaeographically interesting is the |
| 7133 | cursive note (by a later hand) in the lower part of the same page (Plate XII B), where the peculiar Coptic |
| 7134 | letters are replaced by Greek equivalents. For another example of such transliteration cp. Crum, Coptic |
| 7135 | MSS. from the Fayyum, no. Ϫⲓ. |
| 7136 | Justus is commemorated® on Mechir (Amshir) 10. The saint was a magnate of Antioch,’ who greatly |
| 7137 | distinguished himself during the Persian Wars of Diocletian, taking prisoner Nicomedes the son of the Persian |
| 7138 | king (Frag. 1). The prince was entrusted to the charge of the Archbishop of Antioch, who perfidiously released |
| 7139 | him and swore falsely that the youth was dead.® For this cause Diocletian began to persecute the Christians. |
| 7140 | Justus was absent in Persia at the outbreak of the Persecution and returned to find his son Apoli a prisoner. |
| 7141 | Thereupon he headed a revolt against Diocletian, but was bidden by Christ, who appeared to him in a vision, |
| 7142 | to abandon his attempt and to demand of the King that he should be sent to Egypt to be martyred. Justus |
| 7143 | then freed his slaves and gave away his property (Frag. 2). As he demanded, he was sent to Egypt to Armenius |
| 7144 | the governor of Alexandria, who dispatched Justus to Arianus at Antinoé, his wife Theoclia to Sai (Sais, |
| 7145 | Sa), and his son Apoli to Pouasti (Bubastis).*? |
| 7146 | At Antinoé Arianus was with difficulty induced to torture so distinguished a person as Justus, but finally |
| 7147 | inflicted the usual series of torments (Frags. 3—4). After vainly attempting to bribe the martyr, he crushes |
| 7148 | him to death with a mill-stone, and when he is restored to life by the intervention of Christ, orders him to |
| 7149 | be beheaded (Frag. 5). The body of the martyr was recovered by a ‘faithful man’ who placed it in a martyrium |
| 7150 | in the village of ‘Tisi-djereht in -ⲁⲓ ⲓⲟ the south of Antinoé (Frags. 6-7). |

| 7296 | forth his staff [and touched them]. |
| 7297 | Then when they arose and saw our Lord Jesus the Christ with his pure Angels in great glory, they feared |
| 7298 | greatly. The Savior said unto ⲉⲓ *“Fear not, but rather rejoice; for I am with thee. For whereas thou |

| 7381 | (Arianus cried out ) *“ Woe is me today more than all the princes of the earth. For the King is wroth with |
| 7382 | me and seeks to destroy my life. Therefore he hath sent unto me the great General that he may set fire to |
| 7383 | my city.” |
| 7384 | Then the multitudes returned and declared unto Justus everything which had come to pass. And when |
| 7385 | he heard, he had great compassion. Then he caused them to bring paper and ink and wrote unto him |
| 7386 | (Arianus) saying: Ⲓ am Justus, the least of all men. I swear unto thee by the high power of my Lord Jesus |
| 7387 | the Christ that no harm shall happen unto thee if thou shalt deal with me according to the command of |
| 7388 | Diocletian the King.” |
| 7389 | So they took the letter and sought for him (sc. Arianus). They found him in a bakery, and gave him the |
| 7390 | letter. Now when he had read it, he took courage a little; and he arose and went to the place wherein was |
| 7391 | the blessed Justus. And when he saw him afar off, Arianus cast himself down and did obeisance *to him, |
| 7392 | saying: “ What hath befallen thee, O my Master, Lord Justus the General, that thou art come to this place ?” |
| 7393 | The holy Justus said unto him: Ⲓ am sent unto thee that thou mayest torment me as it pleaseth thee and |
| 7394 | afterwards cut off my head. For I and this multitude which followeth me are Christians openly.” When |
| 7395 | Arianus heard this he was greatly encouraged and straightway ordered the executioners to put to death |
| 7396 | the whole multitude. |
| 7397 | After that, he said to the blessed Justus: “Lo, ⲓ have killed all thy servants. Now, if it be thy wish, do |
| 7398 | thou thyself offer sacrifice.” The blessed man said unto him: “The death of my servants is no death; but |
| 7399 | 1 have sent them before me to the bridechamber of the Christ.” Arianus said unto him: “Be content with |
| 7400 | these words, and do sacrifice. For lo I feel shame before thee: it is not possible for me to torment thee, neither |
| 7401 | shall 1 be able to neglect the command of my lord the King.” |

| 7454 | “But the blessed man said unto him: “As Jesus the Christ, my true bridegroom, liveth—He Whose General |
| 7455 | I will be from henceforward, inflict on me every torment which pleaseth thee and every form of death, and |
| 7456 | I am ready to endure them by the help of Him Who strengtheneth me, my Lord Jesus the Christ. Only |
| 7457 | fear not at all.” |
| 7458 | Now when Arianus heard this his spirit grew strong within him exceedingly. And straightway he com- |
| 7459 | manded that they should hang him upon the hermetarion and torment him. He caused them to pour pitch upon |
| 7460 | the instruments of torture which they applied to him. After that, he made them lay him down upon the hermie- |
| 7461 | tarion, and bring awls of iron, heated in the fire, and thrust them into his ears, so that the fire entered into his |
| 7462 | whole head. And again, he made them lay bare his privy parts and pour molten lead thereon. |
| 7463 | But the blessed man lifted up his eyes to heaven and said : “ Hear me, my Lord Jesus the Christ ! I suffer even |
| 7464 | unto death. Harken unto me, Thou Who art in the glory of Thy Father; “for Thou art my glory and my might |
| 7465 | and my strength. Send unto me Thy holy Angel, that he may strengthen me in this hour of necessity. For the |
| 7466 | victory is Thine, my Lord Jesus the Christ, together with Thy good Father and the Holy Spirit for ever. Amen.” |
| 7467 | When he had so spoken, he looked towards his right and saw the Savior with Michael on His right hand |
| 7468 | and Gabriel on His left. And the Savior said unto him: “Fear not, Justus My chosen one, but be strong and |
| 7469 | of a good courage. 1 have finished preparing for thee thy throne in the Heavens, and I will set thee. . .in |
| 7470 | the Place of Glory.” And He stretched forth His hand upon his whole body and healed his frame (?). And He |
| 7471 | strengthened him, saying: “ Be not afraid, neither be dismayed at all. For the death of this world is no death |
| 7472 | but life eternal. (I swear by) the. . .head of My Father that since thou hast exiled thyself and suffered shame |
| 7473 | for My sake,...” |

| 7534 | had said these things unto him, He gave him His peace and went up into the Heavens in glory. |
| 7535 | Then the multitudes, when they saw that the blessed Justus was arisen again from the dead, all cried |
| 7536 | out:® “We are Christians openly : we believe on the God of the holy Justus.” And straightway Arianus was |

| 7609 | (The multitudes cried out) *with one voice: “We are Christians openly.” And when Arianus saw them |
| 7610 | following after Justus, he knew that they would not sacrifice.! And straightway he commanded that the |
| 7611 | blessed Justus and all the multitude should be led forth and their heads cut off. |
| 7612 | Forthwith the Savior appeared unto him (sc. Justus) and said unto him: “My true champion, verily thou |
| 7613 | hast contended! I also will cause great marvels to be wrought in the sanctuary wherein they shall lay thy |
| 7614 | body. And after thy death 1 will put it into the heart of a faithful man—Io, he standeth now with a multitude— |
| 7615 | to bury thy body according to thy glory and thy worth. And 1 will cause them to build a great martyrium |
| 7616 | for thee in a little village to south of this city and to lay thy “body therein—and the name of the village |
| 7617 | is Tisi-djereht in P-halé.? And I will cause many mighty works to be performed through thee by means |
| 7618 | of thy body, and in every place wherein thy name shall be uttered. And all men that are sick of any |
| 7619 | sickness or are in any stress, if they shall say in faith, Ⲟ God of the holy Justus, help us,” I will harken |
| 7620 | unto them right soon and pity them, whether they be sick, or in prison, or in peril, or on the sea, or on the |
| 7621 | rivers, or (in danger of) murder, or (of) theft, or in any place, or in any stress: I will grant all their petitions. |

| 7674 | *But after these things there came a faithful man, even as the Lord had said unto him (sc. Justus), and |
| 7675 | embalmed his holy body properly and removed it to Tisi-djereht in P-halé. They built a martyrium over |
| 7676 | it, according to his deserving, and placed his holy body therein. For (sic) everyone who was sick with any |
| 7677 | sickness soever, if they worshiped over his body, obtained healing. |
| 7678 | Now we also, O my beloved fathers and brethren—since God hath vouchsafed unto us the gift of his pure |
| 7679 | martyrdom—after this long time let us give glory unto God the Father on the day of his glorious Commemora- |

| 7687 | forgive me my sins. I am the poor one, sinful above all men who are upon the earth, and not worthy of the name |

| 7696 | THE MARTYRDOM OF APA APOLI |
| 7697 | XVII. SERGIUS |
| 7698 | The Martyrdom of Apa Apoli. |
| 7699 | Parchment. Four leaves or fragments (Cairo, no. 11) from one Ms., and two leaves (Cod. Tisch. XxX1v, 27, 4) |
| 7700 | from a second copy. Frag. 1, paged -ⲓ︦ⲋ︦, 29 x 26.7 cm., is a leaf complete save for a strip torn off the foot; |
| 7701 | Frag. 2 is the inner edge of a right-hand leaf (certainly numbered --ⲓ︦ⲏ︦ forming one sheet with Frag. 3; |
| 7702 | Frag. 3, numbered -ⲕ︦ⲇ︦, measures 35.2 x 27 cm. and is a nearly complete leaf. Frag. 4, a much-decayed |
| 7703 | leaf (to be identified as —&e?2), measures 24 x 22 cm. exclusive of a considerable fragment lately added to |
| 7704 | the lower part. |
| 7705 | The hand, a medium-sized and very regular uncial (see Plate V A), is in some respects comparable with |
| 7706 | Hyvernat, Album, Plate ⲭ. 2. The capitals are large and are often elaborated with penwork or contain |
| 7707 | the initials of the Sacred Name. The stops used are = (black ink, by the first hand), and + (red, by the |
| 7708 | rubricator). In all these features the fragments are identical with Cod. Vat. Copt. ϫⲓ 2, to the missing first |
| 7709 | half of which these fragments originally belonged.? Probably the first half of the ms. was judged to be too |
| 7710 | imperfect or too soiled to be bound up with the remainder in volume form, and so was discarded.* Frag. 5 |
| 7711 | (Cod. Tisch. xx1v, 27), paged -ⲛ︦ⲥ︦ 32 ⲭ 16 cm. (both margins are cut off), belonged to another ms., almost |
| 7712 | certainly the same from which No. xvi, Frags. -2 (and No. xx) were derived.® Neither this nor the following |
| 7713 | fragment can have belonged to the Vatican ms., which in its present state begins with pp. --ⲗ̄ and contains |
| 7714 | a large part of the text of Frag. 5. Frag. 6 (Cod. Tisch. xxiv, 4), 33 X 23 cm., unpaged, likewise belongs |
| 7715 | to the second copy and duplicates a part of the Vatican text. |
| 7716 | Since the Vatican ms. has already been published,® only the new fragments and the opening (unpublished) |
| 7717 | paragraphs of Frag. 5 are here printed: a collation of the remaining text of the leaves at Leipzig is added. |
| 7718 | Apa Apoli,” the son of Justus the Stratelates, is commemorated on Mesore ⲓ After separation from his |
| 7719 | father and mother,’ the boy was sent to Pouasti (Bubastis), where Ptolemy was eparch. He defied the official, |
| 7720 | and was first beaten with sticks, and then flayed (Frag. 1). Having been healed by Michael, he was cast into |
| 7721 | prison, where Christ appeared to encourage him: he was thus able to restore to life the sons of one Ischyrion, |
| 7722 | who had accidentally been killed (Frag. 2). Ptolemy next tried to burn him; but the fire consumed the priests |
| 7723 | of Apollo, leaving the saint unharmed. Apoli was then shut out of the city; until Christ appeared, opened |
| 7724 | the gates, and allowed the martyr once more to confront the governor. He was thereupon cast into a noisome |
| 7725 | dungeon (Frags. 3—4) and ultimately beheaded. His relics were treasured first at Psenetai, and later at |
| 7726 | Psobt-hoi (Frag. 5). The story of his passion was written by Sergius, servant of Ischyrion of Pouasti.!® |
| 7727 | References to Pereira’s translation of the Ethiopic version of the Martyrdom are given (with the symbol P.) |
| 7728 | in the margin of my version. |
| 7729 | 1 The narrative (Ethiopic version) shows that Frags. 1 6 Balestri-Hyvernat, Aca Martyrum, Scriptt. Copt., |
| 7730 | and 2 were consecutive pages. Ser. ⲓ Tom. 1, 242 ff. |
| 7731 | 2 Again the Ethiopic establishes that Frag. 4 directly 7 The fragments give sometimes awa ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲓ, sometimes |
| 7732 | followed Frag. 3. ⲁ̀ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲗⲓ : the latter is merely by apocope, the name |

| 7734 | most kindly furnished by Prof. H. Hyvernat, puts the Arabic the name is transcribed ⲙ and is to be dis- |
| 7735 | matter beyond dispute. (The dimensions of the Vatican ms. tinguished from Apollo (ah). |
| 7736 | are 34.5 X 27.3 cm.: the written column measures 29.1 8 See the Menologia and Cal. of Abw’l Barakdt (P.O. |
| 7737 | ⲭ 18 cm.) x, 208, 277). |
| 7738 | 4 See Introduction, § 4. ⲟ Cp. No. xvi (above, ⲣ. 79). The full story of Apoli |
| 7739 | 5 Hand, style, and size of page all indicate this. More- is told in the Ethiopic Acta Martyrum (C.S.C.O., ed. |
| 7740 | over the Mart. of Apoli naturally followed that of Justus Pereira) and in at least two Arabic ⲙⲃ Cod. Vat. Ar. |
| 7741 | as a sequel. (See No. xvi, Frag. 1, title.) Frags. -ϥ with crvini and Paris, B. N., Fonds Arabe 4775: see also |

| 7781 | [Apa Apoli, separated from his father and mother, is sent to Pouasti (Bubastis) where Ptolemy is eparch or governor.] |
| 7782 | [Then commanded] *Ptolomeos the eparch of Pouasti that they should bring the holy Apa Apoli before |
| 7783 | the judgment-seat. (And they all marveled at his beauty) ;! for he was of the age of twelve years. And when |
| 7784 | they had brought him before the judgment-seat, Ptolomeos said unto him: “Who is he who hath bewitched |
| 7785 | thee and corrupted thy heart, so as not to sacrifice to the gods?” But the holy Apa Apoli said unto the eparch: |
| 7786 | “As for me, | was never bewitched at all; but it is thy father the Devil who hath led thy heart astray from |
| 7787 | the right to worship these abominable gods.” And the eparch said unto him: “If I did not pardon thee because |
| 7788 | thou art a boy, I would cut off thy head with the sword.” The holy Apa Apoli said unto him: “ Know thou |
| 7789 | that | am come to this place to die for the name of my Lord Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Living God, |
| 7790 | and to put to shame thee and thy father Satan.” The eparch answered and said:. . . |

| 7792 | [The eparch commanded them to bring a bed] *and lay him upon it. And they brake an hundred green palm- |
| 7793 | sticks upon him. |
| 7794 | And the eparch said unto him: “ Dost thou relish the torments, O Apoli ?”’ But the holy one said unto him: |
| 7795 | “Thou art a poor thing, thou and thine accursed gods. But my God, Jesus the Christ, even He will give me |
| 7796 | strength to endure thy torments; and my Lord Jesus the Christ will show great mercy upon ⲡⲓⲉ. But |
| 7797 | Ptolomeos the eparch was wroth exceedingly, and commanded forthwith that they should tear off the skin |
| 7798 | of his body, and put it upon his shoulders and lead him about through all Pouasti. And the soldiers did so |
| 7799 | unto him, crying out and saying: “Do not pity this fellow; for he did not worship the gods of the Emperors.” |

| 7842 | the holy archangels Michael and Gabriel. The Savior said unto him: “Hail, Apoli, My righteous martyr! |
| 7843 | I am with thee.” And the holy Apa Apoli said: “Who art Thou, my Lord, Who art in this great glory ?” |
| 7844 | And the Savior said unto him: “1 am God Who came unto thee when thou wast sleeping in. . . I spake with |

| 7849 | And when morning was come—there was a man in Pouasti named Iskhiron (Ischyrion), This man was |
| 7850 | exceeding rich in substance; and he had two sons. And this man was wont to sit with the eparch in his house |
| 7851 | at all times while they feasted. . .[And while a] feast was being held in the [house of the eparch. . .]. |
| 7852 | [News is brought that the two sons of Ischyrion have been killed in the collapse of a house which they were demolishing. |
| 7853 | They are raised to life by the Saint. The eparch next attempts to burn Apa Apoli.] |

| 7905 | ...Ⲓⲉ holy Apa Apoli prayed in this wise, saying: “My Lord Jesus the Christ, my Savior, harken unto |
| 7906 | my prayer! Thou Who didst harken unto the prayer of the First Man and didst restore him again to his |
| 7907 | first estate; Who didst harken unto righteous Abel and didst avenge him upon Cain; Who didst bring forth |
| 7908 | Abraham and cause him to be in a strange land and didst deliver him with Sarah, his wife; Who didst |
| 7909 | deliver Isaac in the midst of the Philistines; Who didst deliver Jacob from the hands of Esau his brother; |
| 7910 | Who didst deliver Joseph out of the hands of the woman of Egypt; Who didst give strength unto Judith so |
| 7911 | that she cut off the head of Holofernes; Who didst deliver Jonas out of the whale’s belly ; Who didst harken |
| 7912 | unto Susanna (and deliver her) out of the hands of the Elders; Who didst deliver the Three Holy Ones out |
| 7913 | of the midst of the fiery furnace in Babylon; Who didst deliver Daniel out of the den of lions;. .. aid me |
| 7914 | today, that. . . Jesus the King of Kings forever and ⲉⲩⲉⲓ. |
| 7915 | And when he had spoken thus, the fire came forth and consumed the priests of Apollo. But the holy Apa |
| 7916 | Apoli stood up in the presence of the whole multitude, and there was no harm happened unto him. And they |
| 7917 | all cried out saying: “One is the God of the holy Apa Apoli! There is no other god save He.” And straightway |
| 7918 | there sprang forth into the midst forty men and fifty women and twelve young children. And they cried out: |
| 7919 | “We are Christians openly.” And Ptolomeos the eparch was wroth and ordered them to be slain with the |
| 7920 | sword. And they accomplished their martyrdom on the seventeenth day of the month Epéphi. In the Peace |
| 7921 | of God! Amen. ⲁⲓ |
| 7922 | Now it came to pass after these things that the holy Apa Apoli stood up in the presence of the eparch |
| 7923 | and said unto him: “ Be ashamed, thou and thine accursed gods! My Lord Jesus the Christ hath sent His |
| 7924 | good angel and delivered me out of the midst of the fire.” And Ptolomeos the eparch commanded [that he |
| 7925 | should be driven out] of the Palace and [cast] out of the city, and that the gates of Pouasti should be shut. |
| 7926 | 1 In the Ethiopic (Pereira, Act. Mart., p. 93) this prayer is greatly reduced. |

| 7975 | ...Ⲃⲱ the holy Apa Apoli stood up and spread abroad his hands to pray, saying: “My Lord |
| 7976 | Jesus the Christ, come, help me and strengthen me and grant me the means to come unto this eparch, and |
| 7977 | that I may put him to shame and his gods. For the power and the glory belong to Thee with Thy good Father |
| 7978 | and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.” |
| 7979 | When he had said these things, the Savior appeared unto him with Michael and Gabriel on His right hand |
| 7980 | and on His left. And the Savior said unto him: “Hail, Apa Apoli, My chosen! Because thou hast left the |
| 7981 | perishable riches of this world, and hast cured thy passions, (and) hast followed after Me, . . . I will bestow |
| 7982 | on thee three crowns, one because of thy martyrdom which thou shalt accomplish, and again another because |
| 7983 | of thy virginity, and a third because of thy riches which thou hast forsaken. And now fear not: | am with |
| 7984 | thee at all times.” |
| 7985 | And the Lord commanded Michael *{to touch the guards of the gates PY] And [they] all became as dead |
| 7986 | men. And the Savior stretched forth His hand and opened the gate: the saint entered into Pouasti. And the |
| 7987 | Savior gave him His peace and went up into the Heavens in glory. |
| 7988 | Now the holy Apa Apoli went unto Ptolomeos the eparch and cried aloud, saying: “ Be ashamed, thou and |
| 7989 | thy gods! For whereas thou didst cast me out of the city and didst shut the doors, my Lord Jesus the |
| 7990 | Christ. . . hath opened all the gates.” And the eparch was troubled, and said to them of the guard: “What |
| 7991 | shall we do with this little lad who wearies us, and will cause every man in this city to confess his God, and |
| 7992 | {will. . .]Jupon us. ..?” And they of the guard said: “Let us cast him into the prison until. . ., that we may |
| 7993 | take counsel.” And the holy Apa Apoli [was cast] into [a dungeon where there was] no. . .and no light. |
| 7994 | [Christ again appears to the saint in prison. Apoli asks where his body will be buried since he is in a strange land. Christ |
| 7995 | informs him of the honor to be paid to his relics.] |

| 8053 | (e.g. ϫⲉⲡⲣⲟⲙⲉⲛⲉⲥⲓⲛ, 4.M.G. xxv, 301) and =the Arabic |
| 8054 | . W. E. Crum observes that here alone does the |
| 8055 | word occur in isolation, and that in C. H, Becker's Papyri |
| 8056 | Schott Reinhardt ‘shubra’= éwoixiov, though such a sense |
| 8057 | is unlikely here unless in reference to a farm or out- |
| 8058 | buildings of which the martyrium was the center. (The |
| 8059 | ϫⲉⲡⲣⲟ of I. 5, however, seems to be equivalent to ⲡⲓϯⲙⲓ, |
| 8060 | ‘village,’ in 1. 10.) |

| 8079 | 5 “The Wallof the Moat,” identified by Crum (P.S.B.A4. |
| 8080 | xxix, 291) with El Khandak. This is confirmed by entries |
| 8081 | in the Arabic Calendar, s.d. Misra 1: “Aboli at El Khandak” |
| 8082 | (P.O. x, 277). This translation took place before the days |
| 8083 | of Cyril 11 (¢. 1078 A.D.), as is apparent from Renaudot, |
| 8084 | Hist. Patr. Alex., p. 465. El Khandak was on the north |
| 8085 | of Cairo (and, as its Coptic name implies, adjacent to the |
| 8086 | city wall): see Amélineau, Géogr., p. 220. Vansleb (Wans- |
| 8087 | leben) speaks of it as “an old suburb of Cairo, but now |
| 8088 | ruinated,” and the former seat of a Bishop (The Present |
| 8089 | State of Egypt. . .Enghshed by M.D., 1678, p. 76). |

| 8182 | NEW TEXTS FROM THE MONASTERY OF SAINT MACARIUS |
| 8183 | XVIII. THE MARTYRDOM OF THOMAS OF SHENTALET |
| 8184 | Parchment. Seven leaves from a single ⲙⲃ. paged -ⲋ̄ -ⲓ︦ⲋ︦, -ⲕ︦ⲃ︦, -ⲕ︦ⲏ︦ -ⲗ︦ -ⲗ︦ⲃ︦ -ⲗ︦ⲇ︦ the last four |
| 8185 | being continuous. Of these leaves Frags. 1, 4 (lower two-thirds), and 6 belong to the recent find and are at |
| 8186 | Cairo (Nos. 16, 54. i, ii): Frags. 2, 3 (upper three-quarters), 4 (upper third), 5, and 7 are at Leipzig! (Cod. |
| 8187 | Tisch. XX1V, 43, 46, 47, 45, 48). Frag. 3 is completed by a fragment in the Rylands Library,* doubtless |
| 8188 | part of Tattam’s find. |
| 8189 | The ms. was in quires or gatherings of eight leaves or sixteen pages. Thus Frag. 2 is the last leaf of |
| 8190 | Quire I, Frag. 6 the last of Quire 11, and Frag. 7 the first of Quire I11. Where complete, the page measures |
| 8191 | 34.2 X 27.5 cm., and the written column (33 1l.), 27.4 ⲭ 17-18 cm. The central page-headings are -- (recto) |
| 8192 | and wc (verso) ; but on the first and last pages of the quire an eight-pointed cross is substituted. The hand |
| 8193 | (see Plate VII p) is identified by Crum? with that of Hyvernat, Album, Pl. xxxvi. Paragraph-marks appear |
| 8194 | in degenerate form as flourishes (red) attached to the initial capitals of each paragraph. Stops (red) are |
| 8195 | + and ~ (the latter at the end of a paragraph) : occasionally an x marked by the scribe to guide the rubricator |
| 8196 | has survived unaltered. There is a vertical guide-line to the left of the column: no horizontal rulings are visible. |
| 8197 | A noteworthy feature is the arbitrary division (reproduced below) of the initial word in a paragraph, as |
| 8198 | ⲁϥ ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ, ⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ. |
| 8199 | Thomas is commemorated on Payni 27 = June 20 (Crum),* or on Abib 27 2) |
| 8200 | The following outline of the history of Thomas is given in the Arabic Synaxarium.® Thomas, a lad eleven |
| 8201 | years old, while keeping swine at Shindal6t,” was bidden by the Archangel Michael to go and confess the faith |
| 8202 | at Alexandria. He went to the city and declared himself a Christian in the presence of the Governor,® who |
| 8203 | vainly attempted to make him recant. He was then tortured and cast into prison. When again urged to |
| 8204 | sacrifice, the boy pretended to consent, but caused the figure of Apollo first to break the other idols in the |
| 8205 | temple and then well-nigh to strangle the Governor. He was then starved for ten days, crucified head down- |
| 8206 | wards, and exposed to a lioness, who refused to harm him.? Next he, with Paphnuti of Bandara (sic) and |
| 8207 | Moses (sic) of Belkim,!® were scourged. Thomas alone surviving, boiling oil and pitch were poured on his |
| 8208 | head : he was placed in a boiling caldron, his body was mutilated, and then hung in a tree with a great stone |
| 8209 | attached. All these torments left him uninjured, until Arianus,!! Governor of Antinoé, took him to Tammah |
| 8210 | and beheaded him there. |

| 8281 | in his evil deeds.” The Governor answered: “[Dost thou call] me an unbeliever ?”’ The blessed Thomas |
| 8282 | answered and said unto him: “ Verily thou art an unbeliever. For else wouldest thou not deny thy God —Him |
| 8283 | Who hath made the Heaven and the Earth, in Whose hands is thy life.” When the Governor heard this, he |
| 8284 | ordered that they should smite him with links (?) of iron. And the guards did so, saying unto him: “O,. .. |
| 8285 | this is not the mode of speech. . .”” But the holy Thomas turned. . . his face to the Governor and said : “Strike |

| 8292 | they passed the whole of that day without the Governor sending for them until the morrow. But when the |

| 8294 | hear them. He said to the holy Thomas: “Art thou crazed in thy head Ⲧⲏⲉ holy Thomas answered and |
| 8295 | said unto him: “A discreet word pleases a wise man,. . ; let a word. . .”” But the Governor said: “I pardon |

| 8381 | worship thee according to my best will.”’! The holy Thomas answered and said to Apollo: “I command thee, |
| 8382 | O foul idol, in the Name of my Lord Jesus the Christ, the true God, to come down from thy place and break |
| 8383 | all the other idols (and) this statue also, which Diocletian the unbelieving king hath made.” Straightway |
| 8384 | the idol leapt down by reason of the command of God the Almighty: he laid hold on all the idols and brake |
| 8385 | them like a vessel of clay which is broken. |
| 8386 | The holy Thomas said also to the idol: “I command thee by the power of my good God to pursue this lawless |
| 8387 | Governor and teach him until he learns that the Lord God Whois in Heaven is the Lord of Heaven and Earth.” |
| 8388 | Then the idol pursued after Kulkianus the Governor and throttled him, until his eyes started from his face: |
| 8389 | he smote him even unto death. “The Governor cried out, saying: Ⲟ holy Thomas, help me!” The blessed |
| 8390 | Thomas also cried out, saying: “Unless thou confess in the presence of this whole multitude that Jesus the |
| 8391 | Christ is the Son of God, | will not deliver thee.” Kulkianus the Governor cried out: “I believe on Thee, my |
| 8392 | Lord Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living and. . .only God: there is no God in Heaven or upon the Earth |
| 8393 | but Thou alone, Jesus the Lord, the true God.” |
| 8394 | Straightway the demon departed from him. The whole multitude cried out: “One is the God of the holy |
| 8395 | Thomas, Jesus the Christ, our Lord.” Kulkianus caused the multitude to be cast into prison: as for the holy |
| 8396 | Thomas, he had him left in prison without food and without drink, that he might die of hunger. “That I |
| 8397 | may see,” said he, “whether Jesus will be able to deliver him out of my hands.” |
| 8398 | They cast him (Thomas) into the prison: they gave him neither bread nor water until the end of ten days. |
| 8399 | But the blessed Apa Thomas. . . |

| 8446 | {When they saw him] *with his face shining like the rays of the sun, they marveled greatly and said unto |
| 8447 | him: “Peace be unto thee, O blessed champion, the holy Thomas, servant of our Lord Jesus the Christ the |
| 8448 | very and only true God.” The holy Thomas cried out and said to them: “Peace be unto you, O holy martyrs |
| 8449 | of Christ, the true God ; peace be unto every one who believeth on my Lord Jesus the Christ the King immortal |
| 8450 | forever.” |
| 8451 | Every one who was sick with any sickness in the city entered into the prison to the holy Thomas. He healed |
| 8452 | them; and at the word of his mouth alone health came upon them all. His speech also in exhortation was |
| 8453 | like (the speech of) our pure Fathers the Apostles of the Christ Jesus, the true God Who is exalted. |
| 8454 | Now when day was come, the Governor ordered that the tribunal should be prepared and that they should |
| 8455 | bring the blessed Thomas from the prison with chains of iron upon his limbs. And they brought him to the |
| 8456 | irtbunal, to the presence of Kulkianus the Governor. *The Governor said to the holy Thomas: “Art thou |
| 8457 | persuaded to do sacrifice to Apollo, before I give thy bones to the wild beasts?” The brave martyr of the |
| 8458 | Christ, the holy Thomas, answered: “O Governor, the death of this world is no death, but life eternal ; but |
| 8459 | the death of hopeless (?) torments—that is death eternal.” The Governor answered and said unto the holy |
| 8460 | Thomas: “Offer sacrifice: do not die miserably.” That pure one said to the Governor: “1 will not sacrifice |
| 8461 | to thy vile and blind gods who are abominable.” (The Governor) ordered that they should give him to a |
| 8462 | ravenous she-lion. And they loosed her upon him that she might devour the flesh of the righteous one. But |
| 8463 | the lioness sprang and came to the feet of the righteous one, the pure martyr of the Christ, the holy Thomas: |
| 8464 | she licked his blessed feet. Through the power of God she received the voice of a man and cried out, saying: |
| 8465 | “Blessed art thou, O pure martyr of Christ, the holy [Thomas. ..].” |

| 8527 | the hermetarion and pour vinegar and quick-lime into his nostrils and mouth. The noble champion of Christ, the |
| 8528 | holy Thomas, endured the torment. The Governor said unto him: “ Wilt thou not answer me, Thomas?” The |
| 8529 | blessed Thomas said unto him: “My Lord Jesus the Christ, the true God, will deliver me from thy torments.” |
| 8530 | The Governor bade them bring vitriol and boiling pitch and pour it upon his head. But the holy Thomas |

| 8537 | out, saying: “Be confounded, O Governor, together with thy abominable gods, evil demons, thou and thy |
| 8538 | foul Apollo! 1 too have with me my Lord Jesus the Christ, my true God.” When Kulkianus the Governor |
| 8539 | heard such words as these he was enraged with a rage of his father the Devil. He commanded a caldron to |
| 8540 | be brought with brimstone and pitch. They filled the caldron and kindled a fire under it so that its smoke |
| 8541 | rose up exceedingly. They bound the hands and feet of the holy Thomas and lowered him into the boiling |
| 8542 | caldron. But the holy one lifted up his eyes to Heaven and cried out, saying: “My Lord Jesus the Christ, |
| 8543 | my good God, help me in this time of adversity wherein I am.” |

| 8587 | from the caldron and cast it into the face of the Governor. Immediately his eyes fell down from him. And |
| 8588 | when the multitudes saw that which was befallen, they cried out, saying: “One is the God of the holy |
| 8589 | Thomas!” |
| 8590 | Now Arianus the Governor of the South was also in Rakoti with Kulkianus the Governor of Rakoti. He |
| 8591 | arose and came to the holy Thomas as he stood in the caldron, and said to the blessed one: “Have pity upon |
| 8592 | this unhappy man and heal him in this torment.” Forthwith the holy Thomas came up out of the caldron |
| 8593 | and went to Kulkianus the Governor and spake unto him, saying: “Though thou art not worthy, O lawless |
| 8594 | one, to be signed (with the sign of the cross) in the name of my Lord Jesus the Christ, the true God, yet |
| 8595 | because of this multitude which believeth on the Lord Jesus the Christ—my King the Christ is the true |
| 8596 | God—, I grant thee healing until thou shalt go down into His hands.” Immediately Kulkianus the Governor |
| 8597 | saw again : he departed to the “banquet, he and Arianus, the Governor of Antinog at that time. He commanded |
| 8598 | them to take the holy Thomas to the prison bound in chains of iron. |
| 8599 | The holy ones said unto him (sc. Thomas): “Conquer, thou who hast conquered, and find strength thou |
| 8600 | who hast found strength! Be of good cheer: the Lord be with thee, until thou shalt put to shame Kulkianus, |
| 8601 | the lawless Governor.” Then answered the brave martyr of Christ, the holy Thomas, and said unto the saints |
| 8602 | who were in the prison: “Pray for me, O my blessed fathers, in your holy prayers, that my Lord Jesus |
| 8603 | the Christ may give me strength.” The holy martyrs answered: “My (sic) Lord Jesus the Christ will give |
| 8604 | thee strength until thou shalt finish thy contest.” |

| 8680 | stretched forth his hand and signed him (with the sign of the cross) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, |
| 8681 | and of the Holy Spirit—the Trinity Which is perfect in one Godhead—and said: “My Lord Jesus the Christ will |
| 8682 | heal thee from thy sickness.” Straightway the evil spirit went forth from the man; and he was healed. When |
| 8683 | they who were cast into prison saw that, they gave glory to our Lord Jesus the Christ, the true God. |
| 8684 | Now when morning was come Arianus the Governor of the South said to Kulkianus the Governor of Rakoti: |
| 8685 | “Let me sit upon the #rzbunal, that I may teach this unholy Christian, Thomas.” And when he was seated |
| 8686 | on the tribunal, he ordered them to bring unto him the holy Thomas. He said to one of the martyrs whose |
| 8687 | name was Apa Paphnouti, the man of Telpontouro (sic): “Do sacrifice: do not perish miserably.” But he, |
| 8688 | the faithful one, cried out, saying: Ⲓ will not do sacrifice to thy abominable gods.” He commanded forthwith |
| 8689 | p. 32 that his head should be cut off with the sword. And “Michael the Archangel set a crown upon him in glory |
| 8690 | and honor. |
| 8691 | Arianus said to the holy Thomas: “Do thou also sacrifice: do not perish miserably.” The blessed one |
| 8692 | answered him: “I will not sacrifice: that which thou wilt, do unto me. Only I will not worship thy gods, |
| 8693 | who are demons and abominable.” Arianus the Governor raged with wrath and commanded a sharp sword |
| 8694 | should be brought him, that the holy Thomas should be seized and his privy parts cut out. But the holy |
| 8695 | one answered nothing at all. Arianus said unto him: “Dost thou feel this torment suffered in this manner?” |
| 8696 | The brave martyr of Christ answered : “ Thy torments are naught in my sight ; but the torments of my Lord |
| 8697 | Jesus the Christ, they are torments indeed. He will cast thee forth from His courts and cast thee into eternal |

| 8752 | When Arianus the Governor heard this, he commanded them to seize the holy Thomas and hang him up. . . |
| 8753 | by his neck on the branch of a tree, and to hang a great stone to the feet of the Saint as he hung on high, |
| 8754 | until all the bones in his neck should be broken. . .Michael, the Archangel of the great powers of the Heavens, |
| 8755 | came and stood upon (7) the branch of the tree and the stone which they had hanged upon him: he brake the |
| 8756 | cords which bound him. *And the Archangel Michael said unto him: “O noble champion of Christ, holy |
| 8757 | Thomas, be of good cheer and take courage: fear not, I am with thee until thou shalt accomplish thy contest |
| 8758 | and thy martyrdom.” The holy Thomas said unto him: “Strengthen me, my Lord, until | put to shame this |
| 8759 | lawless Governor.” Michael the holy Archangel gave him his peace and went up into the Heavens in glory, |
| 8760 | while the holy one gazed after him. |
| 8761 | Now the holy Thomas went unto the prison: there was no hurt upon him. And when the saints saw him. . . |
| 8762 | (they said) :. ..(l. 25) But when day was come, Arianus the Governor knew that the blessed Thomas was |
| 8763 | in the prison. Arianus answered: “1 caused him to be hanged by his neck, and they hung a great stone at his |
| 8764 | feet. ..ⲡⲓ he...” He sent to the prison that he (sc. Thomas) might be brought to him. |
| 8765 | [Probably the work ended with an account of the beheading of Thomas (cp. the Arabic), after a final vision of the Lord |
| 8766 | assuring the saint of his future reward.] |

| 8770 | NEW TEXTS FROM THE MONASTERY OF SAINT MACARIUS |
| 8771 | XIX. THE MARTYRDOM OF ASTRATOLE' |
| 8772 | Parchment. Fragment (Cairo, no. 27) of a single sheet (two leaves). The greater part of the left-hand leaf |
| 8773 | and the upper part of the right-hand leaf have been torn off. Height (complete at the back-fold) 33 cm. ; |
| 8774 | width (nearly complete ) 25 cm. The hand is identical with that of Nos. xviir and xxviii (= Hyvernat, |
| 8775 | Album, Pl. xxxvi) and the same reddish-brown ink is used. Nos. xvii and xix were certainly uniform and |
| 8776 | probably parts of the same volume. |
| 8777 | In the second leaf Astratole’s resolve to become a martyr is set forth; but in the preceding fragment the |
| 8778 | torture of a martyr (who cannot well be the same) was described.? Possibly the former leaf dealt with the |
| 8779 | passion of the little-known saint Ginousi (or Shenousi)? alluded to in the second leaf, while the Martyrdom |
| 8780 | of Astratole followed as a sequel. But it is possible that the sheet has been turned inside out, and that |
| 8781 | Fo. 2 should precede Fo. 1. In that case the tortures described on Fo. 1 must be assigned to Astratole |
| 8782 | himself. Astratole* seems to be otherwise unknown as a martyr; but he is certainly identical with Astratole |
| 8783 | the Magician, mentioned in the Martyrdom of Epime,® who, having rashly ventured down into Hell, was |
| 8784 | caught by the demons and escaped only by calling upon God. In this fragment we find (1) Astratole invoking |
| 8785 | “the God of the holy Ginousi;” and (2) Michael appearing to the chastened Magician and reminding him |
| 8786 | that he has promised to become a martyr in return for his deliverance from “the hands of the demons.” |

| 8867 | NEW TEXTS FROM THE MONASTERY OF SAINT MACARIUS |
| 8868 | XX. THE MARTYRDOMS OF APA KRADJON AND APA AMOUN |
| 8869 | Parchment. Seven leaves and two fragments from one Ms. |
| 8870 | Frag. 1 (Cairo, no. 19), 34.2 x 28cm., paged —&, contains the title (framed in the usual cable-pattern border |
| 8871 | of red and yellow) and opening of the story of Kradjon.! In Frag. 2 (Cod. Tisch. xx1v, 25), 33 X 21 cm.,? |
| 8872 | paged -ⲅ, the conversion of Kradjén and his comrade Amoun from their life of robbery is described. |
| 8873 | Frag. 3 (Cairo, no. 194%), 17.2 x 9.5 cm., is a fragment from the upper part of a leaf (probably from pp. —i), |
| 8874 | and narrates how Kradjon resolved to become a martyr. Frag. 4 (Cod. Tisch. xx1v, 26 33 x 22 cm., paged |
| 8875 | -ⲓ︦ⲃ︦, describes the saint’s departure (from Shiét) and his arrival at Pshati (Ibshadi, Nikiu).* Frag. 5 (Cod. |
| 8876 | Tisch. xX1v, 7), 32 X 21 cm., paged —iv (last leaf of Quire I), deals with Kradjon’s meeting with the King’ |
| 8877 | (Maximian or Diocletian). The remainder of Kradjon’s martyrdom is missing. |
| 8878 | The Martyrdom of Apa Amoun presumably followed immediately after that of Kradjon in the ⲙs. but |
| 8879 | may have had a distinct title. Frag. 6 (Cod. Tisch. XX1v, 33), 32 X 25 cm., unpaged, tells how the Governor |
| 8880 | (Arianus of Antinog), unable to prevail upon Amoun, dispatched him to Kulkianus, the Governor at Alexandria. |
| 8881 | Frag. 7 (Cairo, no. 374% + Cod. Tisch. xxiv, 30),° unpaged, gives the text of the letter sent with Amoun by |
| 8882 | Arianus, and the martyr’s meeting with certain saints in prison. In Frag. 8 (Cod. Tisch. xx1v, 3), 33 X 21 cm., |
| 8883 | unpaged, the Governor (Kulkianus) tries to induce Amoun to ⲅⲉⲥⲁⲛ ; but the saint causes the earth to swallow |
| 8884 | up the image of Apollo in the theater. Frag. g (Cairo, no. 37), the lacerated remains of a page now measuring |
| 8885 | 27.7 X 22.5 cm., shows Amoun emerging unscathed from some ordeal. |
| 8886 | The script, which is the same in all the fragments, is of characteristic uncial type, thick and square (see |
| 8887 | Plate VII a, ⲃ) Guide-lines are ruled vertically to left of the column and horizontally for every other line |
| 8888 | in the text. Spaces have been left for stops but have not been filled in by the rubricator. The ms. (as shown |
| 8889 | by Frag. 5, verso) was in quires of eight leaves or sixteen pages. The versos (of Frags. 2—4) are headed ⲓ︦ⲏ︦ⲥ︦ • |
| 8890 | for the heading at the end of a quire see the text of Frag. 5 |
| 8891 | Apa Kradjon of Pineban? is commemorated on Epép (Abib) 25. He was a famous robber and went on |
| 8892 | one occasion with ⲟ companions to rob a monk. They were confronted by their victim, who converted them, |
| 8893 | and caused them to become monks themselves. After six years the Persecution began. Kradjon resolved to |
| 8894 | confess the faith in the presence of the Emperors (see Frag. 3). He went to Pshati (Nikiu), confronted ‘the |
| 8895 | King,” and after being tortured, was sent to Alexandria. Attempts to put an end to him were in vain; |
| 8896 | an angel saved him and dispatched him to Samannud, whither he went after visiting his own village. At |
| 8897 | Samannud he was tortured by the Governor, Justus, but ultimately converted the official and his soldiers. |
| 8898 | The saint was sent back to Alexandria and from there back to Samannud, where he was scourged. He was |
| 8899 | again dispatched to Alexandria; but at Tell Barmouda the Lord appeared to him, warning him that he would |
| 8900 | die there. There, presumably, he was executed. |
| 8901 | Apa Amoun of Terenuthis® is said to have gone into Upper Egypt and there, seeing the cruelties practised |
| 8902 | by Arianus the Governor, confessed himself a Christian. He was beaten, hanged, nailed to the ground, and, |
| 8903 | as a last resort, sent to Alexandria, where, after various miracles performed and sufferings endured, he was |
| 8904 | beheaded ⲟⲡ Athtir 2. |

| 8980 | [It came to pass in the days] of the persecution and tempest which came upon the race of the Christians, |
| 8981 | and the transgression which befell by reason of a single man'—and when the decree came to Rakoti from the |
| 8982 | lawless kings, who forgot the living God and persecuted the Christians; and when the saints heard, they fled |
| 8983 | to the deserts and holes of the rocks—at that time there was an Archbishop at Rakoti named Theonas:? he |
| 8984 | feared God greatly. And there was with him a son of the habit,® named Theopemptos. This man was an |
| 8985 | excellent (?) scholar “because of the power of God which was with him and the wisdom which He gave |
| 8986 | unto him. He pleased his Father? well. So he made him bishop in a monastery, outside the city, which was |
| 8987 | called The Monastery of the Fathers®; and they who were in that monastery were six hundred monks. |
| 8988 | Now when the holy Bishop heard the news of the persecution, he fled with all them who were with him |
| 8989 | to the desert of Shiét.® His Father also... had the intention of fleeing. Now there was a virgin in Rakoti |
| 8990 | who feared God well. He entered therefore into her house and spent a great while in her dwelling, living in |
| 8991 | a workshop. For lo, they had come upon him suddenly and he found no way of escape. This virgin sacrificed to |
| 8992 | the idols against her wish and in appearance only ; because lawless men caused the whole city tooffer sacrifice. . . |

| 9076 | robbery trembled before him; and also. . . the rulers of Egypt stopped their mouths (7). . . |

| 9078 | and perdition, remaining in our sins. We have not found any profit in our lives. Consider this old man who saith |
| 9079 | by the word of God, that except (through) God man will find no profit. But now, my brother, let us do our |
| 9080 | diligence to hate ourselves (ⲣ) ; for until this day we have lived according to our own desires. Therefore, if now |
| 9081 | these godless kings should seize us, they will chastise us, that we may worship idols and forsake God who |
| 9082 | made us, that we may worship stocks and stones.” , |
| 9083 | In such wise they spent a great part of the night, harkening to the word of God at the mouth of the holy |

| 9197 | [Apa Kradjon said], “...*my holy Fathers, pray for me; for lo, six years have I been with you in the |
| 9198 | (monastic) habit. Remember me, do not forget me; but forgive me those things wherein I have offended.” |
| 9199 | So he prayed and departed from among them: he walked in haste, and was running in the course! through |
| 9200 | the power of Christ. And when he came to the ferry of Pshati he found a numerous army with the idolatrous |
| 9201 | kings resting beyond? the city, and a multitude of the king's soldiers standing up above the ferry. Then Apa |
| 9202 | Kradjon spake with them: Ⲓ beseech you, show me the house of a Governor who is in authority, one of |
| 9203 | them who love idols exceedingly and hate Christ.” Then they regarded him and considered the manner of |
| 9204 | his speech. . .they were wondering [at him]. And they said unto him: “ Whence art thou, O brother ? Dost |
| 9205 | thou not know. . . these Governors. . .?”” *But he said unto them: “ You were not asked to inquire my place |
| 9206 | of origin. But I beseech you to satisfy me in that which I asked you.” They said unto him: “If thou wilt not |
| 9207 | tell us whence thou art, or what thou seekest, we also will not inform thee of that which thou seekest.” |
| 9208 | Then he passed three days sitting up above the ferry, and did not cross over, because the lawless (kings) |
| 9209 | ordered that none should cross over. Thus they blocked (?) the roads and the. . . until the priests had finished |
| 9210 | who were sacrificing to the idols. And so the whole city was filled with smoke of the fire which they set (7) to |
| 9211 | the houses and villages which did not (sacrifice?). |
| 9212 | And as they were passing over, certain soldiers of the king saw him. . . They said to him. . . “Art thou. ..? |
| 9213 | Hast thou not yet departed to a. ..?”" He said unto them: “Yea, | remain...” |

| 9284 | “When the king looked upon Apa Kradj6n, he marveled at him, as did all his fellow-kings, because of his |
| 9285 | strength and beauty. His shoulders rose up above all the soldiers; and he cried out, saying: “It is well that |
| 9286 | thou art come, O king of the idols, thou in whose hands are the keys of Paradise and thou dost not know |
| 9287 | them! O lamp of darkness, whose foolishness guideth a multitude of sinners unto God! 1 would have thee |
| 9288 | know this, therefore, O king, that many times | have prepared myself to come unto thee, but (only) now |
| 9289 | hath the Lord prepared my path and brought me unto thee. For | know that through the will of God and |
| 9290 | the wickedness of your folly I shall go unto the place where is the Bridegroom. I know that the purity of |
| 9291 | my soul and my body and the redemption of my sins come from Him. For Ⲓ committed many sins at the |
| 9292 | first, while I walked in heedlessness and in many violent deeds, running eagerly with *robbers in sins. But |
| 9293 | I have received grace at the hand of my King, the Christ, in that He hath guided me in the straight way.” |
| 9294 | Then the king was silent until he had finished these words; and there was no one who could answer him a |
| 9295 | word, because the king was not yet speaking with him. Then the king said unto him: “Where wert thou |
| 9296 | until today ?”’ Apa Kradjon said unto him: “I was a fugitive.” The king said unto him: “If thou knowest |
| 9297 | that thy death will come at my hands while I torment thee; if thou knowest that thou wilt die miserably, |
| 9298 | wherefore then hast thou fled in this manner from safety to meet it (sc. death), that thou venturest to utter |
| 9299 | these words ⲇⲣⲁ Kradjon said unto the king, “ How is it possible for a vineyard to be reaped when its time |
| 9300 | is not yet come ? For in the desert of Sin, when our fathers had crossed over the sea, the Lord used to speak |
| 9301 | with them through one man, Moses, upon whose face they could not look until...” |

| 9372 | Only harken unto me that thou mayest escape the torments which I have in mind to inflict upon thee, that |
| 9373 | thou mayest receive great honors through the providence of the victorious gods, and that thou mayest |
| 9374 | enjoy life and this sweetly-tempered air.” But the holy man answered and said unto him: “If thou shouldest |
| 9375 | give me the whole of this world and its glory, | would count them as naught. For I love not this life which |
| 9376 | is for a season; but wish to depart out of it and leave [it for the sake of the Name] of my Lord Jesus the |
| 9377 | Christ...” |
| 9378 | (ⲓ. 32) But the Governor, when he heard these things, was greatly enraged: he commanded them to lay |
| 9379 | him upon a bed of iron and to kindle a fire under it exceedingly until his flesh was consumed by the fire. |
| 9380 | But the holy man said unto him: Ⲟ foolish Governor, why dost thou weary thyself ? For ⲓ feel not the |
| 9381 | fire nor do | quail before thy torments, through the power of my Lord Jesus Who helpeth me. Be confounded |
| 9382 | now therefore, thou and thy vain gods.” When the Governor perceived that he could not prevail against him |
| 9383 | by torments, he ordered that holy one to be bound in fetters of iron and removed to Rakoti, to the place of |
| 9384 | Kulkianus the Governor, that he might hear him publicly. The soldiers then removed him to a vessel and |
| 9385 | sailed with him, arriving at Rakoti in eight days. Then the soldiers {delivered him, together with a letter from |
| 9386 | Arianus, unto] Kulkianus [the Governor of Rakoti; and the letter was written in this fashion :—] |

| 9459 | (To) Kulkianus, the Governor of Rakoti, who lives in the providence of the Gods, (from) Arianus, the |
| 9460 | Governor of the Thebais, greeting. For as much as our Lord the King hath deemed me worthy of his honored |
| 9461 | letter, bidding that every person in every place, whether man or woman, in a word, every class, should worship |
| 9462 | the honored gods, who are these, Apollo and Artemis and the rest of the gods—we have found this man, named |
| 9463 | Apa Amoun, who scorns the decree of the Augustus, our Lord the King Diocletian. Now | have inflicted |
| 9464 | on him great tortures; yet he is not willing to do sacrifice according to the command of our Lord the King, |
| 9465 | but confesses, ‘1 am a Christian.” Now therefore | have sent him unto thee that thou mayest hear him.” |
| 9466 | And when he (Kulkianus) had read this letter, he commanded them to cast him into the prison until the |
| 9467 | next day. So the holy Apa Amoun was in the prison. . .the grace. . .the Lord Jesus the Christ. . . |
| 9468 | *And God was strengthening him in all things which they brought upon him. And the word of God was |
| 9469 | in his mouth, and the grace of the Holy Spirit was speaking in him while he was in the prison, encouraging |
| 9470 | all those who were in the prison looking forward to the crown which the Lord should set upon their heads. |
| 9471 | He was saying unto them: “Great is the honor which the Lord hath shown unto us from our childhood |
| 9472 | in graciously giving us power to prepare ourselves for this hour. Fear not. . .if we shall endure slight afflictions, |
| 9473 | but afterwards shall rejoice for ever in the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus the Christ.” |
| 9474 | Now there were other God-loving brethren in the prison because of the confession of the Name of the |
| 9475 | Christ. He saw (there) a holy deacon named Apa Pousti, and a holy priest also named. . .6n of Smoun, and |
| 9476 | ...n, and Sarapion. And the holy Apa Amoun ⲛⲁ... |

| 9520 | *Then answered the holy Apa Amoun: “It is written in the Scriptures, ‘All the gods of the heathen are |
| 9521 | demons:! like unto them are all they who trust in them.’? And now, O lawless Governor, [away with thee] |
| 9522 | to destruction together with thy gods and thy so insensate king also. For I will not do sacrifice to thy gods |
| 9523 | (which are) made with hands. So what thou wilt, do unto me quickly.” But the Governor said unto him: |
| 9524 | “Dost thou wish to die miserably, O Amoun ? These labors I forgive thee. Now leave this error and haste |
| 9525 | to do sacrifice to the gods. And I will grant thee great honors and will make thee priest unto all my gods. |
| 9526 | I desire now therefore that thou set my heart at rest, that thou mayest become a companion with my...” |
| 9527 | Now when the holy Apa Amoun heard this, he answered, mocking him, and said: Ⲟ Governor, if this is |
| 9528 | so, bring thy gods to this place that | may sacrifice unto them.” When the Governor heard these things from |
| 9529 | him, Ⲙⲉ rejoiced exceedingly, as though he (Amoun) would sacrifice to his gods. Straightway he commanded |
| 9530 | that they should bring Apollo into the theater and that the heralds should proclaim aloud throughout the |
| 9531 | city: “ Assemble all ye, that ye may behold Amoun the Christian who is to sacrifice to the gods of the King.” |
| 9532 | Then the whole multitude came together into the theater, hastening all of them to behold the spectacle. |
| 9533 | The Governor therefore said unto the holy man: “Come, Amoun, my chosen one, offer sacrifice, that we may |
| 9534 | depart unto the banquet.” But that pure one, Apa Amoun, drew near unto the idol and kicked it, saying: |
| 9535 | “By the power of Jesus, my King, (I command thee), get thee down to the abyss until the Day of Judgment.” |
| 9536 | Forthwith the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the idol. |
| 9537 | When the multitude beheld the miracle which was come to pass, they cried out at the Governor, saying: |
| 9538 | “[Shame upon 7] thy gods who...” And they were praising the holy Apa Amoun, saying: “One is the God |
| 9539 | of the Christians, Who is the God of Apa Amoun.” |

| 9609 | Parchment. Three leaves and two fragments derived from two (?) mss.®? Frags. 1 and 5 are written in a |
| 9610 | script very different from that of Frags. 2-4, which is a small, rounded uncial (Plate V 8): compare Hyvernat, |
| 9611 | Album, Pl. xxix. |
| 9612 | Frag. 1 (Cod. Tisch. xx1v, ⲑ) ⲓⲓ ⲭ 22 cm., is the lower half of a leaf, written (like Frag. 5) in a thick, |
| 9613 | angular script which is probably late: specially noteworthy are the sharply pointed down-strokes of ϯ ⲫ ϥ |
| 9614 | etc. Frag. 2 (Cairo, no. 17%), 17.5 X 25 cm., paged -ⲕ︦ⲇ︦, is an upper half-leaf ; the lower half is at Leipzig |
| 9615 | (Cod. Tisch. xxiv, 38): the two are combined below. Frag. 3 (Cairo, no. 17°), 32 X 25 cm., is an almost |
| 9616 | complete leaf : no page-number can be distinguished. Frag. 4 (Cod. Tisch. xx1v, 37), 32 ⲭ 22 cm., paged -ⲟ︦, |
| 9617 | 1 Cp. the Prayer of Apa Apoli (No. xv, Frag. 3, recto). |
| 9618 | 2 See id., verso. (The situation is evidently the same.) |
| 9619 | 3 Frags. 1 and 5 may be restorations to supply the place |
| 9620 | of lost or damaged pages in the original volume. |

| 9627 | is a complete leaf, but the recto is practically illegible.! Frag. 5 (Cod. Tisch. xx1v, 39), 32 ⲭ 21 ⲉⲡⲓ. another |
| 9628 | complete leaf, paged ⲛ︦ⲁ︦, ⲡ︦ⲃ︦, is by the same hand as Frag. 1. |
| 9629 | Frag. 1 can be attributed to the story of Paési and Thekla only conjecturally. The grounds for so doing are: |
| 9630 | (1) the identity of the peculiar script with that of Frag. 5; (2) the promises detailed on the verso are addressed |
| 9631 | to more than one saint; so that Paési and Thekla are at least possible claimants. Certain Sahidic fragments |
| 9632 | of the Martyrdom of Paési and Thekla are extant,® but are not available for comparison. Paési and his |
| 9633 | sister Thekla,® commemorated on Kihak 8, were wealthy people of Abusir, to the west of Ashmunén. |
| 9634 | Paul, a friend of the family and a merchant, having gone to Alexandria, fell seriously ill and sent for Paési, |
| 9635 | who obeyed the summons but found his friend recovered. The persecution was then raging, and the two |
| 9636 | friends used their wealth in relieving the wants of the Christians in prison, one of whom predicted that the |
| 9637 | two would become martyrs. Ultimately Paési declared himself a Christian before the Governor and suffered |
| 9638 | various tortures. Paul and his servants weep over Paési, but the Angel Raphael appears and heals the |
| 9639 | martyr. Thekla, bidden to rejoin her brother, is miraculously conveyed to Alexandria under the escort of the |
| 9640 | Virgin and Saint Elizabeth. She and Paési confront the Governor and are tortured in various ways. They |
| 9641 | remain obdurate and are handed over to the Governor of El Khosus to be conveyed to Upper Egypt. On the |
| 9642 | way the wind fails and the saints are beheaded. Their bodies, thrown into the scrub, were preserved by a |
| 9643 | certain Macarius, Priest of ⲉⲡ( ⲓϯ. |

| 9728 | clergy and the holy ones. For thisis my delight wherein I delight. For God hath saved me from my sins.” And |
| 9729 | he consoled himself with the holy ones and departed to his house in peace. He lay down and did not eat or drink |
| 9730 | for three days. Now when Paul came to seek for Paési, the servants of Paul said to Paési: “If Paul cometh |
| 9731 | unto thee today, compel him to eat with thee. For lo, for three days he hath not eaten nor drunk.” . . . (I. 19) |
| 9732 | “Paul, be constrained, that we may eat bread with the holy ones.” Paul was glad, and went in haste and |
| 9733 | prepared a meal, and went unto the prison: he ate and drank with all the saints. . . while they were eating. . . |
| 9734 | [Paési and Paul are arrested and kept in prison: Paési hopes to see his sister before his death.] |
| 9735 | “...%If the Lord bid, I will remain until the Lord bring her unto us. But if again He wills to separate |
| 9736 | us from one another, His will be done.” In that night there appeared unto him the Archangel Gabriel and |
| 9737 | said unto him: “Hail, O man that art worthy to be loved by God and men.” Now it came to pass that when |
| 9738 | Paési saw the Angel of the Lord, he fell upon his face and was greatly afraid. For the whole prison was as |
| 9739 | light as day. The holy ones beheld the light, and were confounded and fell upon their faces. And the Angel |
| 9740 | stretched forth his hand and laid hold on them, and raised them up, and said unto them: “ Be of good cheer, |
| 9741 | for the power of the Apostles is with you that ye may put to shame this lawless (Governor) that God and His |
| 9742 | holy Angels may be glorified.” |
| 9743 | Paési said unto the Angel: “I desire to see Thekla my sister before [ die.” The Angel of the Lord said |
| 9744 | unto him: “Paési, seven days hence thou shalt behold Thekla thy sister, and thou shalt (always) be with |
| 9745 | her through the power of the Lord, and thy soul shall not be parted from her soul, nor thy body from hers. |
| 9746 | If thou desirest...” |

| 9828 | overshadow thee that the fire devour not a single hair of thy head. Be strong and be a man of might; for |
| 9829 | lo, thy martyrdom shall bring shame upon this lawless (Governor) for six months.” Then Paési said unto |
| 9830 | him: “My Lord, strengthen me, and I will give my body unto all the tortures of the tribunal.” And the Angel |
| 9831 | greeted him and went up into the Heavens in glory. |
| 9832 | Now when day was come Armenius the dux of Rakoti sat upon the judgment-seat in the theater. He |
| 9833 | commanded that the holy Paési should be brought unto him with the holy ones. They were brought bound |
| 9834 | hand and foot with chains of iron, having collars (of iron) about their? necks; and the torturers followed |
| 9835 | hard after him and the holy ones, driving them along until they brought them before the judgment-seat. |
| 9836 | When the dux saw them, he said unto Paési: “O sorcerer, hast thou felt the torments of the *#ribunal ? |
| 9837 | Dost thou know that they. ..? But now, sacrifice to the gods and do not perish miserably.” |
| 9838 | But the holy man said unto him: “Thou. . .and thy Apollo and Artemis also, and thy abominable king |
| 9839 | Diocletian.” The dux was angered, and commanded him to be placed upon a bed of iron and that the |
| 9840 | torturers should light a fire under him. [Straightway 7] the Archangel Gabriel [came] down from Heaven [and] |

| 9849 | put fire under him from the fifth hour of the day unto the sixth hour. |
| 9850 | And the dux arose and commanded, saying: “Come, let his ashes be cast into the sea. For he said: |
| 9851 | ‘Christ will deliver Ⲡⲓⲉ let Him come now and deliver him from this torment, if there is any strength |
| 9852 | in Him. For there is no god who hath power like Apollo and Artemis.” Straightway, while he was yet |
| 9853 | speaking, Paési came out of the fire of the bed through the power of the Holy Spirit, while the Angel of the |
| 9854 | Lord held his hand. . . |

| 9893 | are whole.” When the multitude beheld the holy ones with their bodies whole, they cried out, saying: “Great |
| 9894 | is the God of the holy Paési and Thekla his sister.” |
| 9895 | The holy Paési and Thekla his sister departed to the prison. And the dux departed to his house. He did |
| 9896 | not eat nor drink in his wrath because of the shame which the holy ones had brought upon him. And Dorothea |
| 9897 | his wife went into the #riclintum and said to him: “Wherefore dost thou not eat nor drink ? Perchance it |
| 9898 | is because the Christians have put some slight shames upon thee.” |
| 9899 | And the dux was angry, and said unto her: “Wretch, dost not thou then worship this Name Jesus, and |
| 9900 | therefore speakest on behalf of these sorcerers ? Give thanks unto Apollo the great God that | do not put thee |
| 9901 | utterly to death on account of them.” She said to him, “ Would only that I were worthy of this honor!” |
| 9902 | She said also to him: Ⲓ am weary of begging thee to leave the Christians alone. Does not their God protect |
| 9903 | them ? He is more powerful than thy dumb Apollo of stone.” |

| 9964 | And the Angel. . . him and showed him a great house, exceeding glorious, made of stones of many colours, |
| 9965 | and flashing forth rays of light. That house had porticoes which flashed forth light. The pillars on the south |
| 9966 | side of the house were sixty; another sixty were on the north side of the house, and another sixty pillars |
| 9967 | on the east side of the house. Beneath?! the house were seventy strong and glorious pillars; and it was built |
| 9968 | like a Church. Ⲓ looked towards the east and saw a great throne, very high: it had twelve steps, until one |
| 9969 | came up to the throne, And great was the splendor of that throne with its steps; and a great glory surrounded |
| 9970 | it. There were great trees shading it? round about, bearing good fruit : and the smell of the trees was exceeding |
| 9971 | sweet. And I saw a scepter of gold upon the throne, and I saw two crowns of pearl upon the throne. I looked |
| 9972 | also and saw the pillars of the portico, and there was a throne to the east of the colonnade, one colonnade beside |
| 9973 | the other.* They (the thrones ?) rose up in splendor; and there was a crown of pearl on each of the thrones. |
| 9974 | And there was a great tree planted near the throne, each one of its branches spread out over the throne. . . |
| 9975 | And 1, Paési, saw a laver. . . |

| 10023 | NEW TEXTS FROM THE MONASTERY OF SAINT MACARIUS |
| 10024 | XXIII. TEXTS RELATING TO SAINT MACARIUS |
| 10025 | A. Four Odes on Saint Macarius. |
| 10026 | Odes I-11. Paper. Two leaves, numbered -ⲡ, ⲣⲁ and measuring 26 x 17.5 cm., from a fourteenth century |
| 10027 | Ms. (Cairo, no. 93, Group 2 ⲥ) containing a collection of Hymns or Doxologies on Saints and Martyrs.! For |
| 10028 | the general style and script compare Plate XXIII a. |
| 10029 | The first Ode is based on a passage in the Coptic Life of Macarius? which is worked up with more literary |
| 10030 | skill than is usual in compositions of this kind. The conclusion is missing, but there remain fifteen stanzas, |
| 10031 | written as paragraphs, each containing four short verses or lines carefully distinguished by circular red stops. |
| 10032 | The second Ode, entitled “Abba Makari and his Children,” is complete save for the last two lines of the |
| 10033 | final stanza, which are supplied below from the Vatican Theotokia (Cod. Vat. Copt. xxxvii1, fos. Ee verso— |
| 10034 | Ty recto). The more important variants of the Vatican text are noted below.? The first six stanzas deal |
| 10035 | with the four-headed Cherubim* who guarded Macarius and who is interpreted as symbolizing the Founders |
| 10036 | of the Four Monasteries of Shiét.® The last four stanzas (which in the Curzon Theofokia® alone appear under |
| 10037 | the above title) briefly notice the worthies of Shiét, Moses the Black, the Forty-nine Martyrs. Each of the ten |
| 10038 | stanzas is divided by stops into four lines of somewhat greater length than those in the foregoing Ode. |
| 10039 | Odes [I1-IV. Paper. Two leaves, 24.5 xX 16.5 cm., numbered p=, pk, from the Difndr described below |
| 10040 | (No. xxxvii F). For the style and script compare Plate XVIII ⲃ. |
| 10041 | Two complete and successive Odes to Saint Macarius, composed for the melodies ‘Batos’ and ‘Adam’ |
| 10042 | respectively, and appointed for use on Phamenoth 27 (the Commemoration of Saint Macarius). The first |
| 10043 | four stanzas of the first Ode are also extant in a parchment leaf from a smaller book of hymns (below, |
| 10044 | No. xxxvii ⲥ). They are there preceded by the following rubric: ⲥⲟⲩ ⲓ︦ⲑ︦ Mmecwps - ⲡϫⲓⲛⲓ ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲗⲩⲙ‐ |

| 10047 | variant readings of this second copy are added at the foot of the complete text and are distinguished by the |
| 10048 | symbol P. Ode 111 originally ended with the fifth stanza ; but the appended stanzas are in no way distinguished |

| 10116 | The God of Glory was with the just one, the Great Abba Makari, the Spirit-bearer, |
| 10117 | For He assigned unto him a holy Power, even the Cherubim, from the beginning. |
| 10118 | Whilst he was sitting one day in the cave, meditating upon the Holy Scriptures, |
| 10119 | There appeared unto him the Cherubim and spake with him on this wise, saying: |
| 10120 | “Look to thyself, Makari, be not proud of heart: lose not thy labor because of the glory of men. |
| 10121 | “When thou hast fulfilled all the virtues, say in thine heart: ‘I am a sinner.’. . . |
| 10122 | “*Look to thy vineyard, Makari, for it is near the vintage:! let not mischievous foxes destroy its fruit. |
| 10123 | “Look to thy tree, Makari, for it beareth fruit: let not the fowls of the air spoil its fruit. |
| 10124 | “Look to thy treasury, Makari, for it is full of good things: let not thieves break into it. |
| 10125 | “Look to thy ship, Makari, for it is full of royal treasures: let not the waves of the sea overwhelm it. |
| 10126 | “Look to thy plough, Makari, to which thou hast set thy hand; look not aside to that which maketh it (?) |
| 10127 | become crooked.” |
| 10128 | When Abba Makari heard these words, he cried out, weeping, and spake on this manner: |
| 10129 | “What is my pride of heart, sinner that ⲓ am, when evil spirits corrupt my soul ? |
| 10130 | “What is my pride of heart, sinner that | am ? ⲓ have not labored with a brother? at any time.” |
| 10131 | When the Cherubim heard this, he commended him. . . |
| 10132 | * * |
| 10133 | 1 Or (less probably) ‘it is nigh to ending (perishing).’ |

| 10184 | Abba Makar: and bis Children. |
| 10185 | (Melody) ‘Batos.’ |
| 10186 | The Cherubim who abode with thee, my Lord Father, Abba Makari, until he brought thee unto these |
| 10187 | deserts,! had four faces: |
| 10188 | A face of a lion and a face of a bull, a face of a man and a face of an eagle. Such is the fashion of the |
| 10189 | Cherubim according to the word of the Scripture.? |
| 10190 | I will liken theface of a lion unto our Father Abba Makari ; for he became a mighty lion against the evil spirits. |
| 10191 | I will liken the face of a bull unto our Father Abba John; for he “planted the tree in the dry ground, till |
| 10192 | it bare fruit.? |
| 10193 | I will liken the face of a man unto our Father Abba Pishoi; for he spake with Christ, like Moses the Law- |
| 10194 | giver. |
| 10195 | I will liken the face of an eagle unto our Roman Fathers; for they received wings of fire and sped into these |
| 10196 | deserts.’ |
| 10197 | Lo, Moses the Black also came into these deserts: he wore the unfading crown of martyrdom.6 |
| 10198 | The Forty-nine Martyrs, the old men of the deserts—they poured forth their blood upon the Rock of |
| 10199 | Piamoun.” |
| 10200 | The holy Ellaria (Hilaria), the holy Anastasia, the holy Aripsima, the brides of Christ.® |
| 10201 | The Sanctuaries which thou hast established, my Lord Father, Abba Makari, shall not cease to bear |
| 10202 | fruit until the end of this age. |
| 10203 | Pray the Lord for us, my Lord Father, Abba Makari, with thy cross-bearing sons, that He may forgive |
| 10204 | (us our sins). |
| 10205 | 1 See Life of Macarius (A.M.G. xxv, 72 fi.). gives a different version of their arrival (4.M.G. xxv, 293); |
| 10206 | 2 Egekiel 1, 10 (cp. Macarius, Hom. 1, 1, commenting but note that the Karet el Multik, the hill with which these |
| 10207 | thereon). In the Haikal of Benjamin at the Mon. of saints are associated, was formerly known as the Hill of |
| 10208 | S. Macarius the NE. soffit of the dome is decorated with the Eagle-Stones. 6 See HN.S. 1, x, § 4. |
| 10209 | the painting of a four-headed ‘ Cherubim.” This doubtless 7 1d., 1, x, § 7, and references there given. |
| 10210 | represents the Cherubim of Macarius reputed also (cp. 8 ⲓ.. 1, i, § 3; iv, 2. The connexion of Arepsima with |
| 10211 | No. xx ⲥ) to have appeared at the Consecration of this Scetis, however, is obscure, She is commemorated in the |
| 10212 | Sanctuary. (See ..Ⲙⲛ Synax., Tat 29 (ed. Basset, pp. 92 Ⲱ︦.) as having been |
| 10213 | 3 Cp. No. xx1v, 2, and see H.N.S. 1, vii, § 5. martyred in Armenia. May we conjecture that her body |
| 10214 | 4 See H.N.S. 1, vii, § 6. was brought at some date to the Armenian Monastery in |

| 10279 | Thou didst gird them as soldiers, champions of might against the apostate dragon and his wicked legions. |
| 10280 | Wherefore we pray thee, as sons of thy prayers, entreat the Lord for us to forgive us our sins.? |
| 10281 | Phamendth was the month wherein thou didst fall asleep, on the seven and twentieth day. . .? |
| 10282 | And lo, there came unto thee that Cherubim with choirs of angels and the companies of the Just. |
| 10283 | And he spake unto thee as a brother with his brother: “ Haste thee and come forth; for all these wait for |
| 10284 | thee.” |
| 10285 | And when thou wast filled with a great joy, thou didst say: “My Lord Jesus, into Thy hands Ⲓ commend my |

| 10291 | Thou didst become an example to us in thy discipline, and thy prayers, (and) in thine endurance. |
| 10292 | Thou wert a faithful and wise servant, in that thou didst well the will of thy Lord. |
| 10293 | Thou didst hear the voice: “ Well done, good and faithful servant, |

| 10362 | *[The Bishop said: “What, then, are we] to do, my Father? We have need of full many prayers from |
| 10363 | the depth of our hearts: (our) speech (alone) will not prevail.” |
| 10364 | So when he had called him (sc. the heretic), he came unto them. The old man (Macarius) went to meet him |
| 10365 | with a gentle greeting (?) and kissed him. The holy man said unto him: “Why for so long hast thou not seen |
| 10366 | us and hast not visited us ?”’ He said unto the holy man: “I have not visited you because your faith agreeth |
| 10367 | not (with mine).” The man of God said unto him: “Is thy faith right Ⲏⲉ said unto him: “It is right in |
| 10368 | very deed.” Our Father Abba Makari said unto him: “What evil or what error is there in our faith ?”’ The |
| 10369 | wicked man said unto him: *“ Your faith is not right because ye say that this flesh and these bones shall |
| 10370 | rise again. And it is not this only that ye say, but ye affirm that the Son of God took the flesh and bones of |
| 10371 | a man like us.” And the holy old man (Macarius) answered him sternly, saying: “ If we say this of ourselves, |
| 10372 | or affirm it of our own reason, then thy complaint against us is sound. (But) if it is the Holy Scripture which |
| 10373 | gave it us, then we do well in holding it. Since, then, the truth of God is in this wise, who art thou to with- |
| 10374 | stand the ordinance of God P But that I may not proceed [to much discussion with thee, I will tell thee of |
| 10375 | our belief].” |

| 10451 | submerged, because he hath removed his gaze from the sun which supported him with its beams ? What |
| 10452 | will happen unto him because he hath disobeyed the sun which said unto him: ‘Take heed to thy gaze that |
| 10453 | thou look not upon the waters; for, lo, it is not thou who bearest up thyself, but my beams’? Even so also |
| 10454 | the man whose gaze is fixed upon God, seeking after the glory of God at all times, is wont to seek to hate |
| 10455 | the glory of men. If he turn aside to the glory “of men, he falleth away from the glory of God, and his gaze |
| 10456 | is defiled by a multitude of passions, and in the end he submerges his cargo altogether.” |

| 10470 | first leaf in the Ms., the whole recto being occupied by a long but much-damaged descriptive title enclosed |
| 10471 | within a narrow border or frame of two-strand cable-pattern. In the upper margin is a ‘rubric’ in small, |
| 10472 | informal uncials ⲉⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̄ⲫⲁⲓ ⲛ̄ⲥⲟⲩ ⲏ︦ ⲛ̄ⲧⲱⲃⲓ ⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⲛ̄ⲧⲉ ⲧⲥⲕⲩⲡⲏ ⲛⲃⲉⲛⲓⲁⲙⲓⲛ, directing that the work should |
| 10473 | be read on the anniversary of the dedication of the Sanctuary of Benjamin.! Frag. 2 (C.U.L. 6 |
| 10474 | 34.5 X 10cm. is the outer edge of a leaf numbered on the verso ve. Frag. 3 (Cairo, no. 2) is a complete |
| 10475 | leaf, unnumbered, measuring 35 x 28 cm. The margins are intact. |
| 10476 | The hand (see Plate 111 ⲃ) a large, bold, but rather coarse uncial, is identical with the hand of No. xxix |
| 10477 | and apparently of Hyvernat, Album, Plate xxmi: it may be assigned to the mid-tenth century. The |
| 10478 | written column (in Frag. 3) measures 27.5 x 17-18.5 cm. Guide-lines are ruled for alternate lines of the |
| 10479 | text. The holes made by the pins which held the ruler in place? are visible in the right margin of the |
| 10480 | recto. Spaces for stops were left by the scribe but have not been filled in by the rubricator. On Frag. 1, |
| 10481 | verso (ll. 8-10), however, cross-hatching is used to distinguish a Biblical quotation. |
| 10482 | The fragments belong to a narrative describing the Consecration of the Church in the Monastery of Saint |
| 10483 | Macarius by Benjamin I on Tobi 8, circa 655 ⲇ.. and the visions seen by the Archbishop on that occasion. * |
| 10484 | After a eulogy on Benjamin (partly preserved in our Frag. 1), the author, Agathos,® the syncellus of the |
| 10485 | Patriarch, relates that the monks of Saint Macarius came to Alexandria and begged the Archbishop to come |
| 10486 | to Shiét to consecrate the Church which they had newly built. Benjamin’s journey into the desert and the |
| 10487 | actual Consecration is then described. During the ceremony the Archbishop notices an old man of remarkable |
| 10488 | appearance in the Church and is informed by a ‘ Cherubim’ who appears in the Sanctuary that this is none |
| 10489 | other than Saint Macarius. Frag. 2 relates the amazement of Benjamin at this vision, and certain warnings |
| 10490 | uttered by the Cherubim to which Macarius warmly replies. In the night following the Consecration the |
| 10491 | Cherubim reappeared to Benjamin and delivered to him seven Canons or rules governing the service of the |
| 10492 | new Sanctuary. Frag. 3 commences with Benjamin's warning to all who shall transgress these Canons, and |
| 10493 | goes on to relate how Benjamin was informed by the ‘ Cherubim’ of the date of his death, and how the Arch- |
| 10494 | bishop requested his syncellus, Agathos, continually to remind him of the warning. |
| 10495 | No Coptic fragments of the conclusion are preserved. But the whole narrative is extant in a very slightly |
| 10496 | abbreviated Arabic version incorporated by Severus of Ashmunén in his History of the Patriarchs.® Since |
| 10497 | Severus himself states that the Monastery of Saint Macarius was one of the sources whence he derived his |
| 10498 | material, it is very probable that our fragments belong to the very Ms. consulted by the historian or by |
| 10499 | his literary assistants:? the same copy may have been consulted by the compilers who wrote the summary |
| 10500 | of the above narrative which appears in the Synaxarium.® |

| 10610 | [Thereupon] 1 marveled at him as I beheld him remaining in the midst of his sons and rejoicing greatly, |
| 10611 | and (I marveled at) the dread voice of that holy one! which resounded in my ears and dismayed me. |
| 10612 | Then said the Cherubim unto me, “ If his sons walk in the straight way according to (?) my counsel wherein |
| 10613 | Abba Makari walked and. . ., they shall enter in with him into the palace of the King and delight themselves |
| 10614 | with him in the realms of light. But they who harken not unto his precepts and walk not according to his |
| 10615 | commandment, shall have no portion with him, but shall be cast forth from the flock and [shall have no portion |
| 10616 | in 7] his inheritance.” Then the righteous Abba Makari said unto him: ““. . . *Put not thy seal? upon my sons |
| 10617 | with this word, O my lord. But if there be a grape sound in a cluster, destroy it not, for there is a blessing of |
| 10618 | God upon it.? For I trust in Christ the beloved of my soul that if my sons keep one single commandment. . ., |
| 10619 | which is the love of brethren [shown ?] to one another in pity; or (if they keep) another one [of my] command- |
| 10620 | ments, but shall raise up their eyes to Heaven once in a day unto the Christ Jesus and [pray unto Him 7], |
| 10621 | we trust in Him that He will not forget them, but will deliver them from the punishments of Amenti. For |
| 10622 | God, the Lover of mankind, seeketh after the repentance of sinners and desireth not the death of sinners, but |
| 10623 | (rather) to bring them to repentance.” |
| 10624 | Then when I heard these things at the mouth of the holy Abba Makari, I understood his love for his sons. |

| 10703 | [Know, my brethren, that not one of these! shall receive the lot of Jacob; and the] power which rests |
| 10704 | upon it (sc. the Sanctuary) and its altar: they are concerned with naught save the ornament of meekness |
| 10705 | and gentleness, which is perfect in every good grace; even as the Epistle of the Apostle Paul beareth us |
| 10706 | witness in the discourse on this same vocation.? Lo,? think not, my brethren, that I have decreed this ex- |
| 10707 | communication because of this generation, but. . . because of that (generation) which will come,* even as was |
| 10708 | showed unto me by him (sc. the ‘Cherubim’ or Seraph?) who declared unto me, “1 fear that they shall become |
| 10709 | (such) in the last days.” For this cause I have written this Canon® strongly. I establish it because of those who |
| 10710 | will come after a time, that they may turn away from the glory of men and love the glory of God most High. |
| 10711 | 1 i.e. violators of the Canons of Benjamin which im- |
| 10712 | mediately preceded this fragment (see Hist. of the Patr., |
| 10713 | Pp. 250). 2 See Galatians v, 22 ff. |
| 10714 | 3 In the Arabic this and the following paragraphs are |
| 10715 | inverted. |
| 10716 | 4 The Arabic has “Nay rather | have written them |
| 10717 | because there will come another generation in the last times |
| 10718 | which will deserve what I have written,” etc. This may be |
| 10719 | no more than a natural expansion of a compressed clause, |
| 10720 | but it is equally possible that after I. 15 one or two lines |
| 10721 | have dropped out of the Coptic. |
| 10722 | 130 |
| 10723 | 5 A ‘Cherubim’ or Seraph appeared to Benjamin during |
| 10724 | the Consecration of the Church (see Hist. of the Pair. |
| 10725 | PP. 244.) It was perhaps to commemorate this appearance |
| 10726 | that a Seraph was painted on the NE. soffit of the dome |
| 10727 | in the (ninth cent.) Haikal of Benjamin in the Church of |
| 10728 | S. Macarius (see above, p. 122, note 2). : |
| 10729 | 6 Clearly the Coptic contained the Canons of Benjamin. |
| 10730 | If these are interpolated, the interpolation is earlier than |
| 10731 | the tenth century, the date of these fragments. |

| 10732 | TEXTS RELATING TO SAINT MACARIUS |
| 10733 | Again, this word also spake he of the glorious form unto me, if indeed 1 am worthy of it: “The time of |
| 10734 | the day of “thy passing out of the body (will) coincide with the day of the Consecration of this Church! |
| 10735 | that thou mayest depart unto Christ Whom thou lovest. And thou shalt rest with all the righteous in Jerusalem, |
| 10736 | the city of all them who rejoice.” I said unto him: “My lord, shall God then make me worthy that He may |
| 10737 | take me unto Him upon this same holy day, that He should speak of my visitation upon it—me, His sinful |
| 10738 | servant ? Praised be my Lord the Christ, the beloved of my soul and spirit, that He hath wrought His great |
| 10739 | mercy upon me.” And straightway the Cherubim vanished from before me. |
| 10740 | Then ⲓ called unto Agathos® the Priest and said unto him: “My son, Agathos, write down this day of |
| 10741 | this Consecration and remind me of it daily, that may be mindful of my sins.” |
| 10742 | D. The Translation of Saint Macarius. |
| 10743 | Parchment. Three leaves® from a single ⲙⲃ. namely Cod. Tisch. XX1v, 22 (23 X 51) XXIV, 32 |
| 10744 | (34 x 25 cm.), and xx1v, 24 (32 X 23 cm.) :? the second and third leaves are clearly consecutive. The title |
| 10745 | is enclosed in a narrow frame of double-strand cable-work. In the upper margin is a ‘rubric’ in informal |
| 10746 | uncials stating the occasions on which the work was to be publicly read. As usual, the first line of the text |
| 10747 | is in large ornate capitals; the hand of the remainder is identical with that of Nos. viii ⲃ, xx111 ¢, and XX1x, |
| 10748 | and must therefore be assigned to the tenth century.® |
| 10749 | After the title and exordium (Frag. 1) the text records the death of Macarius and his burial in a cave |
| 10750 | near the Church which he had built. Attracted by the miracles wrought by means of his body, the men |
| 10751 | of P-djidjbér resolve to steal the relics and convey them to their own town (Frag. 2). This they succeed in |
| 10752 | doing. The remains of the saint installed in a new Church at P-djidjbér work fresh marvels. Subsequently, |
| 10753 | when the town had been devastated by the Arabs and the shrine was neglected, a certain Joseph, archon |
| 10754 | of Elmi, removed the body to his own town in the Year of the Martyrs 500, and built for it a new Church |
| 10755 | (Frag. 3). For the sequel reference must be made to the summary in the Synaxarium,” where it is related that |
| 10756 | in the days of the Patriarch John,® the monks of the Monastery of Saint Macarius went to Elmi and after |
| 10757 | some difficulty were allowed to take possession of the body. On their return journey across the desert the spot |
| 10758 | where a ‘ Cherubim’ had once taken the hand of Saint Macarius was supernaturally revealed. The remains |

| 10845 | by the author of our text, the date of the Translation would |
| 10846 | be 830 ⲇ.. but Macarius was translated emp. John IV |
| 10847 | (i.e. before 799 ⲇ.. cp. H.N.S. m1, § 1). Possibly the |
| 10848 | date belongs not to the Translation under John IV, but |
| 10849 | to the installing of the relics in the ‘Sanctuary of Benjamin’ |
| 10850 | at the Mon. of Macarius: this Church, which had been |
| 10851 | (see Hist. of the Palr., ed. Evetts, p. 574). The text may |
| 10852 | therefore have been composed and pronounced when that |

| 10854 | therein. But did the writer know the correct date of |

| 11039 | Hail to Abba Makari, the great net who drew every one into the Way of God, and put upon them the holy |
| 11040 | habit, teaching them to dwell solitary in holes of the ground. |
| 11041 | Glorious exceedingly beyond what words can tell was Abba John the Hegumen. By reason of his purity |
| 11042 | the beasts became as rams (sic) before him ; by reason of his obedience a dried stick blossomed and bare fruit. |
| 11043 | [ am at a loss in my thoughts, my mind is bewildered, I can find naught to say worthy of thy glory, O |
| 11044 | Man of Light, Our Father Abba Pishoi, who nobly didst run the race. |
| 11045 | Hail to Maximus and Domitius, our Roman Fathers! When they had taken up their cross they followed |
| 11046 | after Christ to the holy mount of Abba Makari. Even as John, the holy virgin, and James, the sons of Zebedee, |
| 11047 | when they left their father and their nets in the ship and followed after Christ with a true heart, in exchange |
| 11048 | for their nets and the fishes of the sea He made them to be catchers of men—(so) our Father Maximus and |
| 11049 | Domitius left their wealth and their palace, they despised their substance, they trusted to attain life eternal. |
| 11050 | They inherited (sic) the fourth laura which God chose in the desert. |
| 11051 | [Hail to Abba John Khamé. . . Ⲏⲉ became founder of a haven of salvation for many souls so that they |
| 11052 | were delivered. |
| 11053 | Hail to Abba Moses, mighty warrior, first of the martyrs that were upon this mountain ! |
| 11054 | Hail to the Forty-nine, blessed Seniors, who poured forth their blood upon the top of the Rock! |
| 11055 | Hail to Hilaria, and Anastasia, and Aripsima the brides of Christ ! |
| 11056 | Blessed art thou, O Abba Makari, for the God of Heaven giveth great glory unto thee. Thou shalt see |
| 11057 | thy Sons and thy Sons’ Sons as a crown unto thee in the Kingdom of Heaven. |

| 11106 | With an hallowed disposition let us make mention of the righteous one, our holy Father Abba John, the |
| 11107 | founder of our community.! Verily tis he who became a guide unto our souls in the course of virtue and |
| 11108 | piety alike; he opened up for us the way which leadeth unto the gates of Heaven, unto the realms on high |
| 11109 | thereby, that we may worship the Father Who. . . |

| 11111 | ⲛ me, my Father! Behold the tree® hath blossomed through thy prayers. Bless me, my Father! |
| 11112 | Behold the tree, touching which thou didst command me, hath borne fruit.” Abba Pammoi* took the fruits |
| 11113 | and brought them to the Church, unto the holy elders, (saying): “Bless me, my Fathers! Behold the fruit |
| 11114 | of the tree for which John my son hath labored. Bless me, my Fathers! Behold the fruit of the tree, the |
| 11115 | fruit of obedience and humility.” When they beheld him, the elders praised him and glorified God. From |
| 11116 | that day forth they granted him the honor of a Father, while he comforted them with consolation. |
| 11117 | Blessed art thou, O Abba John; for the God of Heaven hath granted thee great honor; and thou beholdest |
| 11118 | thy children and thy children’s children who are a crown unto thee in the Kingdom of Heaven. |

| 11369 | The holy woman also who was wedded with him? became a faithful mother of multitudes of virgins, and |

| 11379 | XXV. ABBA APOLLO |
| 11380 | Parchment. Two fragments (Cairo, no. 109), 17 X 13 and 14 ⲭ 23 cm. respectively, being the upper right |
| 11381 | and lower left portions of a single leaf headed -ⲓ︦ⲩ︦ (Ornament) 5>-%=. The script is a good- |
| 11382 | sized uncial, somewhat crude and of a relatively early type (? ninth century). The ink is a deep black, |
| 11383 | but stops (+) are red and capitals are relieved by aimless dotting in the same colour. |
| 11384 | The text, which was identified by W. E. Crum, corresponds generally? with part of the text published by |
| 11385 | F. de Rossi in Mem. della Accad. delle Sc. di Torino, Ser. 11, tom. xin (1893), pp. 301 ff. (=reprint Fram- |
| 11386 | mente di un Sermone sulla Penitenza, pp. 88 fi.). The portion actually preserved records the frightful crime |
| 11387 | of Abba Apollo before he became a monk.* |
| 11388 | The Turin ms. itself probably came from the Monastery of Saint Macarius, since it is one of five given by |
| 11389 | Drovetti to Peyon,® and the group contains a great part of the Psalter to which our group, No. xxxvi B (b) 5 |
| 11390 | belongs. |

| 11445 | uncial, probably identical with the hands of Inv., nos. 71, 102, 107-8. The leaf (paged —3%<) preceding the |
| 11446 | new fragment is extant at Leipzig (Cod. Tisch. xxv, 2). |

| 11453 | XXVIl. THE TRANSLATION OF EPHRAEM SYRUS TO SCETIS |
| 11454 | Cotton-paper. Leaf, 25 x 17 cm., numbered ⲕ︦ⲅ︦ (folio number) from the Difndr (No. XXXVIiI F). |
| 11455 | The text, containing the last seven stanzas of an Ode, celebrates the translation of a Saint’s body to the |
| 11456 | Monastery of Abba Pishoi (Bishoi). That the Saint can be no other than Ephraem appears certain; for the |
| 11457 | Calendar of Abu’l Barakit! commemorates Ephraem the Syrian on Tobi 7, and the Monastery of Anba |
| 11458 | Bishoi still claims to possess Ephraem’s body.? It is quite possible that the relics of the Saint were actually |
| 11459 | carried for safety into Egypt during the period of the Mongol invasion (thirteenth century), if not earlier. |

| 11515 | XXVIII. GREGORY OF NYSSA |
| 11516 | Life of Gregory Thaumaturgus. |
| 11517 | Parchment. Nine leaves more or less complete and five fragments. |
| 11518 | The hand, where most characteristic, is broad and heavy, with thick down-strokes (see Plate X B supra): |
| 11519 | particularly noteworthy is the collapsing ϫ. But possibly owing to the varying surface-quality of the parch- |
| 11520 | ment, the script on one side of a leaf is often finer and more compact than the script on the other. Our |
| 11521 | fragments do not represent more than one copy; though indeed there is considerable overlapping in the |
| 11522 | texts of Frags. 5—7.2 Attention was drawn in ancient times to this duplication by a marginal note in informal |
| 11523 | uncials in the margin of Frag. 7, verso, ⲡⲓⲙⲁϩ ⲃ︦ ⲛ̄ⲥⲟⲡ ⲛⲧⲁϥ, i.e. ‘twice ⲟⲩⲉⲓ, ‘repeated,’ and by the sign ⲥ |
| 11524 | (? = cen ‘pass by’)® which is placed in the margin against the line in which Frag. 7 begins to repeat Frag. 6, |
| 11525 | recto. On the verso of the same fragment a marginal symbol X is twice used: this seems to indicate that |
| 11526 | longer or shorter passages in the exemplar (Greek or Coptic) had been omitted. |
| 11527 | The ms. (see Frag. 2, verso) was in quires of eight leaves (sixteen pages). Punctuation is irregular. The |
| 11528 | original scribe either left a blank for the stop to be filled in by the rubricator, or roughly marked the stop by # |
| 11529 | (at the end of a paragraph, x). Some passages, notably the ‘Creed’ (Frag. 4 verso), have been hurriedly |
| 11530 | punctuated by a later hand with the normal + in red ink. Attention should here be called to the marginal |
| 11531 | directions wa ⲟ far’ and ⲱϣ ‘read’ (see Frag. 11), indicating that the intervening passage was to be |
| 11532 | omitted in public reading. |
| 11533 | Six leaves from a Sahidic version of the Life of Gregory are extant, Clarendon Press ms. (Woide), Frag. 54; |
| 11534 | but to include these is beyond the scope of this publication. |
| 11535 | Frag. 1 (Cairo, no. 24), 29 x 20 cm., is a complete leaf, paged ic (the second numeral is very doubtful). |

| 11647 | conducive to life, not only of the men of that part and the inhabitants of the country, but also of such others |
| 11648 | as may hasten thither from every part. For verily this is the nature of that country. Not only does it abound |
| 11649 | in all necessaries conducive to life, but (it lacks) not for all other things (from abroad, since) the sea supplies |
| 11650 | them from every part. Such is that whole nation, that if a man gives heed to a part of it alone, he thinks it |
| 11651 | more choice than all the rest. For this cause by a decision of that whole race together the city of the great |
| 11652 | Gregory was founded to become the metropolis of that whole race. *This city a great king, famous among |
| 11653 | them who held the realm of the Romans and who was named Caesar, ordered to be called after his name, |
| 11654 | because of his love and his goodwill towards it. |
| 11655 | But all these matters tend not at all to our mark, that we should think of them as glories of that great man |
| 11656 | who is now amid the Saints. For what (glory is it to him that there are abundant) crops in (the country, that |
| 11657 | the city is adorned) with marvelous works, (or that goods) are imported from all parts by way of the sea |
| 11658 | which is nigh thereto ? Nay, I will not make mention at all in my discourse of his ancestry nor of them who |
| 11659 | were the authors of his birth according to the flesh: of their wealth, and their renown, and their worldly |
| 11660 | distinction, I will not speak. For (what could) tombs and (monuments contribute to his praise 7) |

| 11718 | “After that, Phaedimus received an overwhelming impulse from God towards that purpose which abode |
| 11719 | with him. He paid no regard to the distance which parted them—for he was parted from that holy man |
| 11720 | Gregory by the space of three days’ journey—, but lifted up his eyes to God, saying: “Lo, God now looketh |
| 11721 | down upon us both, upon me and upon Gregory.” And in place of his hands he laid the word upon Gregory, |
| 11722 | consecrating him who was not present with him. And he set apart for him a city which. . . at that time. . . was |
| 11723 | established in the error of idolatry ; so that there were not more than eighteen men who had accepted the word |
| 11724 | of faith out of that great multitude. |
| 11725 | Having thus perforce taken the yoke upon his ⲡⲉⲥ... and having sought a little time of him who had |
| 11726 | bestowed the priesthood upon him, that “he might learn the whole surety which was in the holy mystery, |
| 11727 | he no longer—as the Apostle says —set his hand to seek after flesh or blood, but asked of God that He would |
| 11728 | reveal unto him the truth of things secret. And he ventured not at all to preach the word unless the truth |
| 11729 | should first have been revealed unto him. Now it happened on a time, as he was pondering by night on the |
| 11730 | word of faith, and was revolving (various arguments. . .) in his heart—for there were certain (even) at that |
| 11731 | time who perverted the teaching of righteousness, so that even the wise were often divided in heart, owing |
| 11732 | to their specious talk, and for this cause he was waking and very (thoughtful) ; he saw in a vision the semblance |
| 11733 | of a man. . .aged in form, (appearing) |

| 11808 | the grace of his countenance and the manner of his garb. Marveling at this vision, he rose from his couch |
| 11809 | desiring to learn who he was and wherefore he was come. But that one straightway took away his perturba- |
| 11810 | tion of heart and said unto him in a gentle voice: “1 am come unto thee at the command of God, because of |
| 11811 | the things which make thee to doubt, to reveal to thee the whole truth of the faith of righteousness.” Then he |
| 11812 | (Gregory) took courage at the saying in great joy and exceeding gladness. Then after these things, when that |
| 11813 | one had stretched forth his hand, as though pointing out to him by the direction of his fingers another one |
| 11814 | who had appeared to one side of him, straightway Gregory turned ~his eyes to look in the direction of his |
| 11815 | hand. And, lo, he saw other visions in the form of a woman exceeding splendid, in human likeness; and she |
| 11816 | stood before him who had first appeared. Once again he (Gregory) was afraid and bowed himself down and |
| 11817 | covered his face and was dismayed at the vision, being unable to lift up his eyes to the light of the vision. |
| 11818 | For indeed the great marvel in the vision was this, that in the deep darkness of the night the light of them |
| 11819 | who had appeared to him shone like a burning lamp. Since he could not with his eyes bear that light, he |
| 11820 | heard the voice of them who had appeared to him rehearsing together the account of those matters which |
| 11821 | were in question. For not only did they declare unto him the knowledge of the truth of the faith through |
| 11822 | those things which they said, but |

| 11864 | fellow by his name. For it is said that he heard her who had appeared in the form of a woman begging John |
| 11865 | the Evangelist to reveal to the youth the mystery of the truth. And that one also was speaking to her in this |
| 11866 | manner: “1 am ready to vouchsafe this, O Mother of my Lord, since this is thy wish.” And so, after he had |
| 11867 | declared the matter sufficiently in some few words, they disappeared. |
| 11868 | But he (Gregory) straightway wrote down the holy words which he had heard, and afterwards he preached |
| 11869 | according to the sense of that utterance in the church. And he preserved that doctrine which he had received |
| 11870 | from God as an inheritance for those who should come after him. And even until now the people of that |
| 11871 | country are instructed therein, “remaining untainted by the mischief of any heresy. These are the words: |
| 11872 | “There is one God, the Father of the living Word (Who is) the established Wisdom and the Power of His |
| 11873 | likeness ; the Father perfect, and the Son perfect ; Father of the only-begotten Son, and one Lord ; One-Only |
| 11874 | of One-Only; God of God; the Image and the Likeness of the Godhead; the Word Who hath wrought the |
| 11875 | Wisdom! which embraceth the system of all things, and the Maker of all creation; very Son of very Father, |
| 11876 | Invisible of Invisible, Incorruptible of Incorruptible, Immortal of Immortal, Eternal of Eternal; with |
| 11877 | One Holy Spirit Who proceedeth from the perfect Father and (is manifested) through the perfect Son, |
| 11878 | perfect Life, the Cause of them who live, the Pure One, the Supplier of purity, He (in whom God the Father) |

| 11923 | *When Gregory had declared the faith towards God, confirming it not by words, but by wonders shown |
| 11924 | forth in deeds, the priest answered: “I also wish to see a miracle such as can convince my heart, that [ may |
| 11925 | confess the faith.” It is said of that great man that he wrought a miracle in that place, which was great. |
| 11926 | When the priest said concerning a great stone which lay before him and which could not be moved by the |
| 11927 | hand of man: “Through the power of the faith alone let me see this stone remove to another place at thy |
| 11928 | command ;”’ then that great man Gregory did not rebuke (him) at all, but straightway commanded the stone |
| 11929 | as one that had understanding: “ Depart and go to another place”’—namely that which the priest indicated. |
| 11930 | And when this came to pass, straightway the man believed on the word and left all, his kindred, his house, |
| 11931 | his wife, his children, his friends, *his priesthood (in 7) the temple, and his goods. He chose to be with |
| 11932 | Gregory in place of all that he possessed, and to gain the fellowship of his toils and that true philosophy and |
| 11933 | his teaching. |
| 11934 | Let all the subtle arts, then, of speech-writers keep silence—those arts which extol highly the greatness of |
| 11935 | marvels with the eloquence of rhetoricians! For the marvel is not such among those of which we have spoken |
| 11936 | as to be made greater or less than it actually was through the power of speech. For who could exaggerate |
| 11937 | that which we have related, enhancing the greatness of the marvel ? Nay, more, who could detract from the |
| 11938 | marvel in the telling so that the hearers failed to be amazed at that which happened ? A stone caused |
| 11939 | them who were servants of stones to withdraw themselves from stones, and became a guide unto the infidels. |

| 12107 | “Think you that God is too small a dwelling-place, if in truth in Him we have our being and live and move, |
| 12108 | as it is written r* Or doth the shelter of heaven irk you that ye seek after a dwelling-place ? Nay, let your |
| 12109 | one care be for a house which belongeth to each one of you—that which is builded and raised on high by |
| 12110 | virtue. And let this alone grieve you, if we have not there a house of this sort prepared for us. To be encircled |
| 12111 | with earthly walls is no advantage to them who live in virtue. More fitting is it that they who are defiled |
| 12112 | with wickedness should betake themselves to the use of walls; for oftentimes the house is a veil for the secret |
| 12113 | things of shame. But as for them who adorn their life with virtues, naught will be found in them for walls |
| 12114 | to hide.” |
| 12115 | Now while he was thus speaking to them who were with him, there was (there) *a man who was distinguished |
| 12116 | in his birth and his wealth and other respects, and who was numbered among the magnates. The name of |
| 12117 | the man was Musonius. This man, then, seeing that many were eagerly bent upon this same purpose, to |
| 12118 | receive the man (sc. Gregory) into their houses, anticipated the rest in securing ) for himself this favor. |
| 12119 | He besought the great Gregory to lodge with him and to honor. . .his house by entering into it, [in order |
| 12120 | that he might be revered and famous in after time], and that he might thus hand down a recollection of this |
| 12121 | kind to all future generations. But when the rest. . .assembled. . .and begged him for [the same], he decided |
| 12122 | that it was just that he should grant this favor to [him who had first sought it]... |

| 12170 | [Gregory’s power of settling disputes was comparable to that of Solomon, whose decision of the dispute between the |
| 12171 | two mothers is described at length.] |
| 12172 | (When the other of the two, being moved) *inwardly, since she was the mother of the living child, admitted |
| 12173 | that she was vanquished and begged that the little child might be spared—for she was grateful that the |
| 12174 | child should live at all—, the king treated this utterance as a decision of the truth and gave the verdict for |
| 12175 | her who had. . . For he reflected that she who did not shrink from seeking after the death of her son, was |
| 12176 | accused by nature; for had she been the mother, she would not have been eager to slay him. |
| 12177 | What, then, is the judgment of the great Gregory which we are going to relate ? It chanced that two |
| 12178 | brothers, who were young, divided the inheritance of their father and were disputing over a lake of water, |
| 12179 | each of them striving *to get it for himself and refusing to take the other as a partner with him in the posses- |
| 12180 | sion. They took (?) Gregory to decide this case. And when he was come to that place, first of all he used his |
| 12181 | own laws, giving decision that they should be reconciled with one another. He besought them that they |
| 12182 | would both be of one heart in fellowship with one another and gain the advantages of peace, since they were |
| 12183 | more precious than any wealth. He spake unto them thus: “This (gain) will abide with you whether ve live |
| 12184 | or afterwards die. Moreover, the enjoyment of this possession is for a season, and it hath there an eternal |
| 12185 | reproach for him who wrongs...” And he was saying. . .to them. .. |

| 12300 | that he might establish the priesthood in their Church. Comana was the name of that city, in which all the |

| 12316 | Parchment. Five leaves from a single ms. Frag. 1 (Cairo, no. ⲓ 28.3 x 19.5 ⲥ, is a leaf which has |
| 12317 | been robbed of its right, left, and lower margins and has suffered much casual damage. Frag. 2 (Cod. Tisch. |
| 12318 | XX1v, ⲟ) 30 ⲭ 19 cm., also despoiled of its margins, follows Frag. 1 immediately. Frag. 3 (Cod. Tisch. xxv, 1), |
| 12319 | 30.5 ⲭ 19cm., probably follows Frag. 2 directly. Frag. 4 (Cairo, no. 1), 31.5 x 24 cm., numbered on the verso ⲗ, |
| 12320 | is a complete leaf and was separated from Frag. 3 by a single folio (now lost). Frag. 5 (Rylands Library, |
| 12321 | Copt. no. 445) 32.5 x 21.6 cm., was probably the next leaf but one to Frag. 4.3 |
| 12322 | In all the script is the same, a large and bold but uneven uncial (Plate ⲓ A), identified by Crum with |
| 12323 | the hand of Hyvernat, Album, Pl. xxx111 (early tenth cent.) : other fragments by the same hand are Nos. |
| 12324 | vir ⲃ, xx ⲥ and Rylands, no. 440 (Death of Joseph the Carpenter). |
| 12325 | Pidjimi* (Arab. Bidjimi) was a native of Fishah in the region of Masil.® At the age of twelve, while keeping |
| 12326 | his father’s flocks, he was led by an angel to the desert,® where he became the disciple of three old monks. After |
| 12327 | dwelling with them for twenty-four years,” Pidjimi went three days’ journey into the inner desert. Demons |
| 12328 | in the form of various creatures vainly sought to affright him and were dispersed. The Saint then entered a |
| 12329 | valley where he remained for three years, taking only a handful of dates and a little water at the end of each |
| 12330 | week, and offering up 2400 prayers by night and the same number by day. His stay was prolonged for twenty- |
| 12331 | four years, his fasts extending to forty or even eighty days. He was supplied by an angel with bread and |
| 12332 | water which lasted (or was continued) for years. |
| 12333 | The Lord appeared to the saint bidding him return to his country. Pidjimi did so, settling in a little cell |
| 12334 | outside his native place where he converted the people. Thence an angel carried him to Faran (ⲱ) |
| 12335 | to bring to repentance the people who had gone astray (Frag. 4). Pidjimi then returned to Shihit. Once, |
| 12336 | while carrying baskets to sell in the rif, he became exhausted and was carried to his destination by an angel. |
| 12337 | Anba Shenfidah (Shenouti the Great), having seen in a vision a column of precious stones which, he was |
| 12338 | informed, symbolized Pidjimi, visited the saint and satisfied himself of the other’s greatness. Shenouti, |
| 12339 | finding in the desert the skull of a dead pagan, caused it to describe the lot of sinners in Amenti. |
| 12340 | Soon after Shenouti’s departure, Pidjimi fell sick and died on Kihak 11, his soul being carried up to Heaven |
| 12341 | by angels. He had lived 70 years, of which only twelve were spent in the world. |
| 12342 | From his association with Shenouti the Great (died 451-2), whom he seems to have predeceased, Pidjimi |
| 12343 | may be presumed to have lived in the latter part of the fourth and first half of the fifth century (about 380- |
| 12344 | 450 A.D.). This is borne out by the fact that Pidjimi relates the anecdote of Macarius and the Little Strangers® |
| 12345 | as one which he had heard from a disciple of Macarius and not from the Saint himself, i.e. Macarius was dead |
| 12346 | (390 A.D.) before Pidjimi became a monk. In agreement with this is the fact that Pidjimi was contemporary |
| 12347 | with Poemen.!? |
| 12348 | Pidjimi is one of the nine hermits depicted in the Chapel of Es Shah at Dér Abt Makar." |
| 12349 | 1 For the Leipzig folios see Leipoldt, l.c., pp. 390, 400: 7 The Synax. omits Pidjimi’s reflexions found in the |
| 12350 | the identification of the second is due to Crum (P.S.B.A4. Coptic (Frags. 1-2). |
| 12351 | XXIX, ⲣ. 300). 8 So also the Coptic (Frag. 4, verso, 1. 25): other mss, of |
| 12352 | 2 See Crum, Cat., p. 221. This leaf was published (very the Synax. read El Forit (Euphrates). On Faran see |
| 12353 | imperfectly) by Amélineau, Mém. de la Miss., 1v, 247, and R. Weil, La Presqu’ile du Sinai, pp. 208 ff. and passim. |
| 12354 | more recently by Leipoldt, Stnuihiz Vita, 1, pp. 771. It is the modern Fairan, some fifty kilometers due N. of |
| 12355 | 3 Only one leaf is numbered; yet the sequence can be Et Tor. |
| 12356 | determined by help of the excellent summary in the g Coptic in 4.M.G. xxv, 207: in the corresponding Gk. |
| 12357 | Synax. (P.G. LXV, col. 373) the name Pidjimi is classicized into |
| 12358 | 4 The following account is derived from the Synax., Ⲃⲓⲧ ⲙⲟϩ. |
| 12359 | Kihak ⲓ (ed. Basset, pp. 347 ff.). 10 Apophth. Patr., Poemen, cLvi (P.G. LXV, col. 36) : he |
| 12360 | 5 See Amélineau, Géogr., pp. 243 ff. is mentioned in two fuller apophthegms (op. ¢it., cols. 124 ¢, |
| 12361 | 6 The Synax. says to Shihit; but it is to ⲁ (the 125 A). |
| 12362 | ‘inner desert’) that P. presently retires. Can he have ⲓⲓ See A.ACM. 1, iii, 2. |
| 12363 | become a monk at the Mount of Nitria (7.e. Pernoudj) ? |

| 12407 | Do thy diligence to have pity (?) [upon] every creature. For all things are by the will of Christ, and all |
| 12408 | things are from Him.” |
| 12409 | He said also in other words (7). ..ⲓ himself (?) and... [when] therefore thou knowest that. ..do not |

| 12413 | into things good. If thou beholdest a likeness (or image) ...3 the precious things (7) [belonging to ?] |

| 12415 | He said also concerning [delicate] meats and perfumes: “Think upon the good things prepared in the |

| 12418 | the Christ, haste ve also to seek the things of the Christ.’”’® |
| 12419 | And again: “If thou hast not yet conquered thy heart, guard thine eyes and thine ears; for these are the |
| 12420 | doors of thy heart. If therefore thou shalt guard thy heart and knowest that thou hast conquered it, then |

| 12468 | “thou shalt see. |
| 12469 | Do thy diligence to give rest unto every man, either by the work of thy hands, or by thy speech, or by |
| 12470 | thine aspect. |
| 12471 | If thou goest also into the midst of the brethren, if they are working, work with them according to thy |
| 12472 | power, that the grace of the power of God may be in thy weakness.” |
| 12473 | These are the things wherewith the blessed Abba Pidjimi instructed himself alone.! |
| 12474 | Then the blessed Abba Pidjimi arose and departed into the inner desert of Shiét. And he passed three days |
| 12475 | and three nights journeying, not knowing whither he was going. Nor had he taken with him any bread or |
| 12476 | water or anything at all save a little palm-stick whereon he leaned. |
| 12477 | Then there appeared unto him companies of demons disguised in their nature and exceeding fearsome; |
| 12478 | bulls, and lions, and bears, and hyznas, “and wolves, and dogs, and wild boars, and foul birds. In short there |
| 12479 | was every one (creature) after its kind seeking to affright the blessed man, but they were not able to succeed. |
| 12480 | But the blessed Pidjimi when he perceived the matter, stood up: he saw their malice and their confusion |
| 12481 | because they could not move him, and he mocked at their powerlessness. He said unto them sternly : What |
| 12482 | ails you, wretched ones, that ye make these appearances and this false confusion ? If my Lord Jesus the |
| 12483 | Christ had delivered me unto you, a single one of you would have been sufficient against me. But since He |
| 12484 | hath not given you authority against me, get you gone unto your place.” |
| 12485 | Straightway he prayed and crossed himself, and when he had breathed upon them, they vanished in the |
| 12486 | air and consumed away like smoke.’ |

| 12543 | “And he used to live on the fruit of the palms which grew in the Marsh! there. And (once) every six days |
| 12544 | he used to go unto the Marsh to gather for himself the fruit of the palms. But he did not eat to fill his belly, |
| 12545 | but used to fill his hand, and whatever his hand would hold, that would he eat. The water also which he used |
| 12546 | to drink was this: a hin? of water (once) every six days from the Marsh. Nor again was it ever his custom |
| 12547 | to have food or water with him in the place in which he was; but every six days, when he wished to eat, |
| 12548 | he would go unto the Marsh to fill his hand with dates and eat, and to drink his biz of water at the Marsh, and |
| 12549 | then return again to his place until the six days were ended. He passed another three years in this discipline. |
| 12550 | “His prayers and his offices he used to make daily—four hundred and forty prostrations by day with |
| 12551 | [fifty ?] Psalms and a number of recitations also from Moses and all the Prophets. By night also he used to |
| 12552 | make twenty-four thousand (sic) prostrations with a hundred Psalms besides a great number of recitations |
| 12553 | from the Old Testament. |
| 12554 | When he had spent three years in this discipline, the clothes which he wore were worn out and fell to pieces. |
| 12555 | He was at a stand what to do; for he did not wish to clothe himself at all with the necessaries of this world, |
| 12556 | but to be rid of them, like little children and the animals, and (but) a man who is sober (7) in the Scriptures. |
| 12557 | He said within himself: “How shall I be able to sit if | am naked 7 How shall I be able to pray to God if |
| 12558 | I am naked ©” Again, he said: “My Father Adam and Eve, our first parents. ..” |

| 12601 | After these things there appeared unto him the Lord Jesus the Christ with Michael and the Twelve Apostles; |
| 12602 | and all the mount (desert) was filled with light. And the Savior said unto him: “Hail, Pidjimi, My chosen, |
| 12603 | thou who art reckoned in the number of My holy Apostles, hear those things which I will bestow upon thee. |
| 12604 | I will cause them to build a sanctuary (fopos) in thy name? and to lay thy body therein, and to reverence |
| 12605 | thy body, and to glorify Me with My Father and the Holy Spirit in thy sanctuary. He who shall be sick with |
| 12606 | divers (7) sicknesses, if he go unto thy sanctuary, [ will grant him healing. He who shall do alms in thy name |
| 12607 | shall not want of plenty. . . He who shall write thy life and. . ., | will write his name also in the Book of Life.” |
| 12608 | When the Savior had said these things unto him, *He kissed him, as did Michael and the Apostles. Then |
| 12609 | said the Savior unto the holy man: “Pidjimi, My chosen, arise and go unto thy village and abide there; |
| 12610 | for I will work wonders by thy means, for the bringing back unto Me of a heathen people and a multitude of |
| 12611 | (the people of) thy country; that they may know thee and glorify Me by thy means. For verily thy years |
| 12612 | draw nigh (their end): yet ten years and I will come, | and My angels, to take thee away to My true city.” |
| 12613 | The Savior said unto Michael : “Take up My chosen one upon thy wings of light and carry him to the land |
| 12614 | wherein he was born.” When He had said these things unto him, He went up into the Heavens. |
| 12615 | And Michael brought the holy man unto his own people. Straightway he departed unto the Mount of |
| 12616 | Pharran and dwelt there five years. And by reason of his works a multitude turned themselves unto the |
| 12617 | Lord and received holy baptism. A multitude of blind and lame. . . |

| 12669 | *From the time that he (Shenouti)! left his cell, he did not eat nor drink while he was journeying. Pidjimi |
| 12670 | said unto him: “Take thee this vessel and fill it with water from the spring which is to the east.” And he |
| 12671 | took the vessel and filled it with water. When he came up, he found the old man (Pidjimi) standing and |
| 12672 | praying to God. And when he entered into the cell, he found the cooking pot upon the ground and boiling |
| 12673 | with heat (?). Then Abba Shenouti understood in his heart that this was Abba Pidjimi whose throne and |
| 12674 | whose crown had been shown to him. |
| 12675 | When they had prayed together, they ate their little cooked morsel and slept. But in the middle of the |
| 12676 | night they arose and said an Office together : they spent the whole night praising God and chanting in spiritual |
| 12677 | songs. |
| 12678 | After these things Abba Shenouti *[informed Abba Pidjimi of the] marvel [concerning] his throne and his |
| 12679 | crown, Thereafter, they went forth. ..walking in the country with. ..God purposed thus that the election |
| 12680 | of Abba Shenouti should be revealed to Abba Pidjimi. It chanced that as they two were walking, they came |
| 12681 | upon a dead man, buried in that place. For verily there was a multitude of bodies of the pagans of old buried |
| 12682 | there. Now (while) Abba Shenouti was walking with his little palm-staff in his hand, [he came] upon a dead |
| 12683 | man’s Ⲕⲱ. And Abba Shenouti struck it upon the skull three times; (and) forthwith the dead man |
| 12684 | answered (7) and spake with Abba Shenouti and Abba Pidjimi after this manner: “Hail, hail, ye true wor- |
| 12685 | shippers of Christ and servants of God most high [Who hath shown me] grace and delivered me from death. |
| 12686 | For your. . . For lo, from henceforth [I] shall...” |
| 12687 | 1 See Introductory Note. Macarius similarly finds a skull which he causes to speak |
| 12688 | 2 The anecdote of Shenouti and the skull is a doublet and describe the lot of those in Hell. |

| 12695 | Frag. 1 (Cairo, no. 134%) 12.5 x 19.5 cm., is the lower portion of a sheet (two conjoined leaves). The |
| 12696 | script is a thick, heavy, but not large uncial: the stops ~ and = (both black) alone are used. Frag. 2 |
| 12697 | (Cairo, no. 138), 18.5 X 13 cm., is a fragment from the lower right-hand portion of a leaf. The script is the |
| 12698 | same as that of Frag. 4. Frag. 3 (Cairo, no. 110), 11 x 23.5 cm., is a strip torn from the foot of a page and |
| 12699 | giving its full width. It does not therefore belong to the same ms. as did Frag. 2: the hand, moreover, is |
| 12700 | larger and thicker. The stops — and = alone are used. Frag. 4 (Cairo, no. 134), 34.5 X 23 ⲡⲓ. is a com- |
| 12701 | plete leaf from the same ms. as Frag. 2, having thirty-seven lines to the page. The recto (eleventh page in |
| 12702 | the Ms. and first in the second quire) is headed ⲓ︦ⲁ︦ ⲩ︦ⲥ︦ (Ornament) [ⲑ︦ⲩ︦ ⲃ︦] The script (as in Frag. 2) is a |
| 12703 | good-sized, rounded uncial: the ink is reddish-brown: the only stops used are = and (at the end of a |
| 12704 | paragraph) . Frag. 5 (Cairo, no. 134%), 18 x 16 cm., is a much-discolored fragment of a decayed leaf: |
| 12705 | it may possibly belong to the same Ms. as Frags. 2 and 4. |
| 12706 | All these belong to the Life of Shenouti by Besa. Other fragments of the same work are Cod. Tisch. |
| 12707 | XXIV, 10, 11; XXVI, 26 of which the two former at least may belong to the same Ms. as our Frags. 2 and 3. |
| 12708 | The complete work is extant in the Vatican ms. (Cod. Vat. Copi. Lxv1, 2) which was also brought (by |
| 12709 | Assemani) from the Monastery of Saint Macarius, and has been most recently edited by Leipoldt.? |

| 12740 | NEW TEXTS FROM THE MONASTERY OF SAINT MACARIUS |
| 12741 | XXXI. LIFE OF TIMOTHY AELURUS |
| 12742 | Parchment. Two leaves (Cairo, no. 12), 34 x 24 cm., paged! -ⲅ̄ and -ⲓ︦ⲃ︦ and forming a single sheet— |
| 12743 | evidently from a quire of eight leaves or sixteen pages. For the hand see Plate VIII. The only stop used is |
| 12744 | = (black), occasionally inserted by the original scribe. |
| 12745 | The text opens with an account of the effect on the ecclesiastical situation at Alexandria of Marcian’s |
| 12746 | death, and the consequent election of Timothy (Aelurus) as Patriarch ⲇ..) After a lacuna of two leaves |
| 12747 | (four pages), the return of Timothy from exile ⲇ..) and his subsequent alleged® banishment owing |
| 12748 | to the intrigues of the Bishops of Rome and Constantinople, are described. The appointment of Timothy |
| 12749 | Salophacialos as his successor is then noticed. The fragment closes with part of an anecdote relating to a priest |
| 12750 | of Caesarea who visited Timothy in his exile. |
| 12751 | The greater part of the text is identical with two passages in the Syriac Life of Peter the Iberian Ⲣⲙ |
| 12752 | our fragment is certainly not from a Coptic version of that work. For (1) the two leaves or four pages pre- |
| 12753 | ceding our first leaf could have covered only a small fraction of the life of Peter up to the death of Marcian; |
| 12754 | (2) the whole of our text is relevant to the history of Timothy, Peter being mentioned only in connection |
| 12755 | with the election of that Patriarch; (3) the concluding incident in our fragment, which is found also in the |
| 12756 | Syriac Plerophoriae of John Rufus,’ concerns Timothy alone and not Peter (in whose Life it is not found), |
| 12757 | while the Coptic ignores a short paragraph occurring in the Syriac Life® and dealing with Peter alone. |
| 12758 | It is certain, then, that the two Coptic leaves belong to a Life of Timothy Aelurus and not of Peter. That |
| 12759 | the Coptic writer has pillaged the Life of Peter and the Plerophoriae for his material is most probable.” He |
| 12760 | may very possibly be no other than that Abba George who wrote histories of the Patriarchs from Cyril ⲓ to |
| 12761 | Alexander Il “in the desert of the holy Abi Makar in Wadi Habib.” For not only was Abba George syncellus |
| 12762 | of the Syrian Simon I, and so in a position to learn what Syriac writers had recorded concerning his period ;® |
| 12763 | but we are expressly told that he “informed us of what happened in the time of Marcian, the unbelieving |
| 12764 | prince, and the troubles that overtook our fathers. . .”? |

| 12831 | at that time, arose in haste and went forth from Pemdje and returned to Rakoti. It was our Lord Jesus the |
| 12832 | Christ Who led him and brought him thither according to a dispensation, that he might become a support |
| 12833 | unto the people and a strength of the orthodox faith. Now this was the dispensation. When the news reached |
| 12834 | the city Rakoti concerning the death of Marcian—he who had been the author and originator of all these woes |
| 12835 | of the multitude of the orthodox, who no longer had strength by reason of the increase of the afflictions which |
| 12836 | were laid upon them and the persecutions which overtook them since they despaired through grief of heart— |
| 12837 | they lived again because they had found a season of repose: [they gave thanks] unto our Savior that they had |
| 12838 | received a favor of this sort at His hands, in that He was not wroth with them in delivering them in [anger 7] |
| 12839 | into the hands of the pestilential ) and bloodthirsty wolf. Thereon, since they saw that the season was such |
| 12840 | as they prayed that they might find (7), the multitude of the monks assembled, both they who were in the |
| 12841 | city. ..and the others also who were there, the multitudes of the place which is called Pi-Ennaton and |
| 12842 | Oktokaidekaton* and the rest of the holy monasteries, together with all the believing people *of the city of |
| 12843 | Rakoti. And there was amongst them there the great ascete and prophet, Abba Longinus,® the Father of the |
| 12844 | monks, who was unto them a guide and a leader in this good work, urging them at the bidding of God not |
| 12845 | to be neglectful but to hasten to finish that which they purposed. |
| 12846 | Then as they were deliberating together, they sent certain who had the power to do this thing with |
| 12847 | authority, and they dragged the honored confessor—nay rather the very martyr—Timothy® from the |
| 12848 | desert while he was unaware of anything of this kind. For he had previously been held worthy of the dignity |
| 12849 | of the priesthood—he and Anatolius, his true brother and his rival in the ascetic life—at the hands of the |
| 12850 | great Cyril, the Archbishop of Rakoti. For our Father Abba Timotheos was a man adorned with every form |
| 12851 | of the grace of Christ like the Apostles, and moreover with a keen zeal for the orthodox faith. |
| 12852 | Now when they brought him into the city, and took him into the Church which is called the Caesareum,’ |
| 12853 | almost all the city was assembled together, men and women and their children together with the holy monks. |

| 12952 | LIFE OF TIMOTHY AELURUS |
| 12953 | [The Emperor! commanded that they should restore] “the blessed Timothy, who was elected by God, |
| 12954 | and seat him upon his throne, that in this way the city might regain strength after the troubles which were |
| 12955 | past and that the people might rest in peace. And when he returned into the city, every street was filled |
| 12956 | with joy and delight and gladness; and a great multitude of the unbelievers was coming to receive baptism. |
| 12957 | And if we may speak briefly, the city of the people of Rakoti was Heaven in all those days. |
| 12958 | Now when the blessed Timothy had occupied the Bishopric for three? years, once more the envious demon |
| 12959 | could not endure to behold the salvation of men. He caused the Bishops who were in every place, especially |
| 12960 | they of Constantinople and Rome,® to rage in this manner with a great hatred, because the life of the blessed |
| 12961 | Timothy, his disposition, his renown, and his outspokenness were a shame and rebuke unto them, since he |
| 12962 | daily anathematized publicly—he, and the Bishops who were under him, and the clergy, and the monks, |
| 12963 | and the laity—the unholy Council which was held at Chalcedon. They made a great to-do by means of bribe- |
| 12964 | giving and the advocacy of lawless men—for they found ⲉ rulers who were in power at that time amenable |
| 12965 | to them through covetousness—and did not cease from their wicked and evil design until they had caused |
| 12966 | the blessed Timothy to be exiled again, and had shed much blood among the people. And so he was removed |
| 12967 | into exile again, to a city, Gangra, the place wherein his fellow-confessor and champion of the orthodox |
| 12968 | faith, *Dioscoros, ended his days when he had won the crown of Confessorship.* |
| 12969 | For when they had cast out the blessed Timothy from his throne by means of the King’s decree and of |
| 12970 | violence, and had caused him to be exiled, they set another in his place by the King’s edict, namely, one of |
| 12971 | the priests who was styled, indeed, Timothy, though his other name was Salophacialos®, and who also |
| 12972 | had adopted the corrupt faith of the Chalcedonians. |
| 12973 | Now there was a priest in Caesarea named Apholios® who celebrated in the Church of the orthodox: he |
| 12974 | was a holy man and very reverend, honored in the sight of all as a chosen one, who had endured a multitude |
| 12975 | of afflictions steadfastly for the orthodox faith by reason of his great. . . |
| 12976 | 1 6. Basiliscus, who had driven Zeno from the throne: |
| 12977 | see Evagrius, H.E. 111, 4. This restoration of Timothy was |
| 12978 | In 475 A.D. |
| 12979 | 2 The Syriac (Raabe, ⲣ. 69) reads “seven.” Timothy |
| 12980 | occupied the throne after restoration from 475-477; but |
| 12981 | there is evidently some confusion here between the first |
| 12982 | and second exile of Timothy. According to Evagrius, H.E. |
| 12983 | Ⲡⲓ. 11, Zeno purposed to banish Timothy, but spared |
| 12984 | him because of his advanced age; and the exile to Gangra |
| 12985 | and substitution of Salophacialos (narrated below) followed |
| 12986 | Timothy's banishment in 460 ⲇ... when he had actually |
| 12987 | held the Archbishopric for three years. |
| 12988 | 3 sc. Anatolius and Leo I. |
| 12989 | 4 The absence of the short paragraph which follows in |
| 12990 | the Syriac (Raabe, p. 70) relating to Peter the Iberian is |
| 12991 | significant and goes to show that our fragment is from a |
| 12992 | Life of Timothy rather than of Peter (see Introductory |
| 12993 | Note). |
| 12994 | 5 In Evagrius, A.E. 11, 11, the second name is given as |
| 12995 | Salophacialos: the duplication of the first syllable in the |
| 12996 | Coptic may be a mere error. |
| 12997 | 6 In the Syriac Mss. of the Plerophoriae (see Nau’s note, |
| 12998 | P.O. vii, 63) the name is variously given Apolonos and |
| 12999 | Apios; but in § xxix, where the same priest is mentioned, |
| 13000 | the mss. give Altds and Apoldos, of which the last most |
| 13001 | nearly approximates to the Coptic. |

| 13007 | NEW TEXTS FROM THE MONASTERY OF SAINT MACARIUS |
| 13008 | XXXII. LIFE OF APA HOR |
| 13009 | Parchment. Two fragments from a single ms. Frag. 1 (Cairo, no. 60), 33.5 X 24 cm., is a complete initial |
| 13010 | leaf containing the title of the work, framed in the usual border of red and yellow plaited pattern, and the |
| 13011 | opening of the text. In the upper left corner of the recto appears what is possibly, but by no means certainly, |
| 13012 | an imperfect page or folio number (Ac), indicating the position of the leaf in a volume of tracts. For the |
| 13013 | hand (somewhat resembling the script of Hyvernat, Album, Plate xxxvn) see Plate X111 A. The stops used |
| 13014 | are =and occasionally ~: the ink is reddish-brown. On the verso 1. 19) occurs the marginal direction ϣⲁ in |
| 13015 | an informal but perhaps contemporary hand: for the meaning of this and the corresponding direction ⲱϣ |
| 13016 | see Introduction, § 6. Frag. 2 (Cod. Tisch. xxiv, 5) is the upper half of a leaf measuring 16 x 22 cm. |
| 13017 | (the left margin has been cut off). It is paged (7?) p=, doubtless in reference to the volume in which the tract |
| 13018 | was included, and, as the heading shows, was the first leaf in a quire. |
| 13019 | According to the Synaxarium® for Kihak 2, Hor was a native of Atripe in Upper Egypt. He became a |
| 13020 | solitary and lived in the desert until Satan challenged him to go to Alexandria. He went to the city and there |
| 13021 | busied himself with bringing water to the prisoners. While he was thus laboring, a child was run over in the |
| 13022 | street and killed. The blame for this accident was laid on Apa Hér, who restored the child to life and then |
| 13023 | fled from the city. At his death he beheld the usual vision of Saints waiting to receive his soul. |
| 13024 | Hor is associated with Anba Harmina of Pemdje,? with whom he took a journey to the Monastery of Apa |
| 13025 | Jeremias (at Sakkara).® Frag. ⲓ opens (most unusually) with a letter from Hor to a certain Jeremias. Now |
| 13026 | since the name Hor is constantly associated with the names both of Jeremias and of Ambrosius (named |
| 13027 | in Frag. 2) in invocations brought to light by Quibell in his excavations at the Monastery of Jeremias at |
| 13028 | Sakkara,* there is no doubt that the Hér of our ms. was contemporary with the Jeremias of Sakkara, who |
| 13029 | himself lived in the days of the Emperor Anastasius.5 |

| 13090 | reproving certain and saying: “ Which of you by taking thought can add a cubit’s length to his stature 7"? |
| 13091 | Thou also didst answer Him joyfully, saying unto Him: “I vex not myself, my Lord, while I rest upon Thee: |
