| 3 | Parchment. Four leaves or fragments (Cairo, no. 11) from one Ms., and two leaves (Cod. Tisch. XxX1v, 27, 4) |
| 4 | 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; |
| 5 | Frag. 2 is the inner edge of a right-hand leaf (certainly numbered --ⲓ︦ⲏ︦ forming one sheet with Frag. 3; |
| 6 | Frag. 3, numbered -ⲕ︦ⲇ︦, measures 35.2 x 27 cm. and is a nearly complete leaf. Frag. 4, a much-decayed |
| 7 | leaf (to be identified as —&e?2), measures 24 x 22 cm. exclusive of a considerable fragment lately added to |
| 8 | the lower part. |
| 9 | The hand, a medium-sized and very regular uncial (see Plate V A), is in some respects comparable with |
| 10 | Hyvernat, Album, Plate ⲭ. 2. The capitals are large and are often elaborated with penwork or contain |
| 11 | the initials of the Sacred Name. The stops used are = (black ink, by the first hand), and + (red, by the |
| 12 | rubricator). In all these features the fragments are identical with Cod. Vat. Copt. ϫⲓ 2, to the missing first |
| 13 | half of which these fragments originally belonged.? Probably the first half of the ms. was judged to be too |
| 14 | imperfect or too soiled to be bound up with the remainder in volume form, and so was discarded.* Frag. 5 |
| 15 | (Cod. Tisch. xx1v, 27), paged -ⲛ︦ⲥ︦ 32 ⲭ 16 cm. (both margins are cut off), belonged to another ms., almost |
| 16 | certainly the same from which No. xvi, Frags. -2 (and No. xx) were derived.® Neither this nor the following |
| 17 | fragment can have belonged to the Vatican ms., which in its present state begins with pp. --ⲗ̄ and contains |
| 18 | a large part of the text of Frag. 5. Frag. 6 (Cod. Tisch. xxiv, 4), 33 X 23 cm., unpaged, likewise belongs |
| 19 | to the second copy and duplicates a part of the Vatican text. |
| 20 | Since the Vatican ms. has already been published,® only the new fragments and the opening (unpublished) |
| 21 | paragraphs of Frag. 5 are here printed: a collation of the remaining text of the leaves at Leipzig is added. |
| 22 | Apa Apoli,” the son of Justus the Stratelates, is commemorated on Mesore ⲓ After separation from his |
| 23 | father and mother,’ the boy was sent to Pouasti (Bubastis), where Ptolemy was eparch. He defied the official, |
| 24 | and was first beaten with sticks, and then flayed (Frag. 1). Having been healed by Michael, he was cast into |
| 25 | prison, where Christ appeared to encourage him: he was thus able to restore to life the sons of one Ischyrion, |
| 26 | who had accidentally been killed (Frag. 2). Ptolemy next tried to burn him; but the fire consumed the priests |
| 27 | of Apollo, leaving the saint unharmed. Apoli was then shut out of the city; until Christ appeared, opened |
| 28 | the gates, and allowed the martyr once more to confront the governor. He was thereupon cast into a noisome |
| 29 | dungeon (Frags. 3—4) and ultimately beheaded. His relics were treasured first at Psenetai, and later at |
| 30 | Psobt-hoi (Frag. 5). The story of his passion was written by Sergius, servant of Ischyrion of Pouasti.!® |
| 31 | References to Pereira’s translation of the Ethiopic version of the Martyrdom are given (with the symbol P.) |
| 32 | in the margin of my version. |
| 33 | 1 The narrative (Ethiopic version) shows that Frags. 1 6 Balestri-Hyvernat, Aca Martyrum, Scriptt. Copt., |
| 34 | and 2 were consecutive pages. Ser. ⲓ Tom. 1, 242 ff. |

| 39 | matter beyond dispute. (The dimensions of the Vatican ms. tinguished from Apollo (ah). |
| 40 | 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. |

| 44 | over the Mart. of Apoli naturally followed that of Justus Pereira) and in at least two Arabic ⲙⲃ Cod. Vat. Ar. |
| 45 | as a sequel. (See No. xvi, Frag. 1, title.) Frags. -ϥ with crvini and Paris, B. N., Fonds Arabe 4775: see also |

| 85 | [Apa Apoli, separated from his father and mother, is sent to Pouasti (Bubastis) where Ptolemy is eparch or governor.] |
| 86 | [Then commanded] *Ptolomeos the eparch of Pouasti that they should bring the holy Apa Apoli before |
| 87 | the judgment-seat. (And they all marveled at his beauty) ;! for he was of the age of twelve years. And when |
| 88 | they had brought him before the judgment-seat, Ptolomeos said unto him: “Who is he who hath bewitched |
| 89 | thee and corrupted thy heart, so as not to sacrifice to the gods?” But the holy Apa Apoli said unto the eparch: |
| 90 | “As for me, | was never bewitched at all; but it is thy father the Devil who hath led thy heart astray from |
| 91 | the right to worship these abominable gods.” And the eparch said unto him: “If I did not pardon thee because |
| 92 | thou art a boy, I would cut off thy head with the sword.” The holy Apa Apoli said unto him: “ Know thou |
| 93 | that | am come to this place to die for the name of my Lord Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Living God, |
| 94 | and to put to shame thee and thy father Satan.” The eparch answered and said:. . . |

| 96 | [The eparch commanded them to bring a bed] *and lay him upon it. And they brake an hundred green palm- |
| 97 | sticks upon him. |
| 98 | And the eparch said unto him: “ Dost thou relish the torments, O Apoli ?”’ But the holy one said unto him: |
| 99 | “Thou art a poor thing, thou and thine accursed gods. But my God, Jesus the Christ, even He will give me |
| 100 | strength to endure thy torments; and my Lord Jesus the Christ will show great mercy upon ⲡⲓⲉ. But |
| 101 | Ptolomeos the eparch was wroth exceedingly, and commanded forthwith that they should tear off the skin |
| 102 | of his body, and put it upon his shoulders and lead him about through all Pouasti. And the soldiers did so |
| 103 | unto him, crying out and saying: “Do not pity this fellow; for he did not worship the gods of the Emperors.” |

| 209 | ...Ⲓⲉ holy Apa Apoli prayed in this wise, saying: “My Lord Jesus the Christ, my Savior, harken unto |
| 210 | my prayer! Thou Who didst harken unto the prayer of the First Man and didst restore him again to his |
| 211 | first estate; Who didst harken unto righteous Abel and didst avenge him upon Cain; Who didst bring forth |
| 212 | Abraham and cause him to be in a strange land and didst deliver him with Sarah, his wife; Who didst |
| 213 | deliver Isaac in the midst of the Philistines; Who didst deliver Jacob from the hands of Esau his brother; |
| 214 | Who didst deliver Joseph out of the hands of the woman of Egypt; Who didst give strength unto Judith so |
| 215 | that she cut off the head of Holofernes; Who didst deliver Jonas out of the whale’s belly ; Who didst harken |
| 216 | unto Susanna (and deliver her) out of the hands of the Elders; Who didst deliver the Three Holy Ones out |
| 217 | of the midst of the fiery furnace in Babylon; Who didst deliver Daniel out of the den of lions;. .. aid me |
| 218 | today, that. . . Jesus the King of Kings forever and ⲉⲩⲉⲓ. |
| 219 | And when he had spoken thus, the fire came forth and consumed the priests of Apollo. But the holy Apa |
| 220 | Apoli stood up in the presence of the whole multitude, and there was no harm happened unto him. And they |
| 221 | all cried out saying: “One is the God of the holy Apa Apoli! There is no other god save He.” And straightway |
| 222 | there sprang forth into the midst forty men and fifty women and twelve young children. And they cried out: |
| 223 | “We are Christians openly.” And Ptolomeos the eparch was wroth and ordered them to be slain with the |
| 224 | sword. And they accomplished their martyrdom on the seventeenth day of the month Epéphi. In the Peace |
| 225 | of God! Amen. ⲁⲓ |
| 226 | Now it came to pass after these things that the holy Apa Apoli stood up in the presence of the eparch |
| 227 | and said unto him: “ Be ashamed, thou and thine accursed gods! My Lord Jesus the Christ hath sent His |
| 228 | good angel and delivered me out of the midst of the fire.” And Ptolomeos the eparch commanded [that he |
| 229 | should be driven out] of the Palace and [cast] out of the city, and that the gates of Pouasti should be shut. |
| 230 | 1 In the Ethiopic (Pereira, Act. Mart., p. 93) this prayer is greatly reduced. |

| 279 | ...Ⲃⲱ the holy Apa Apoli stood up and spread abroad his hands to pray, saying: “My Lord |
| 280 | Jesus the Christ, come, help me and strengthen me and grant me the means to come unto this eparch, and |
| 281 | that I may put him to shame and his gods. For the power and the glory belong to Thee with Thy good Father |
| 282 | and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.” |
| 283 | When he had said these things, the Savior appeared unto him with Michael and Gabriel on His right hand |
| 284 | and on His left. And the Savior said unto him: “Hail, Apa Apoli, My chosen! Because thou hast left the |
| 285 | perishable riches of this world, and hast cured thy passions, (and) hast followed after Me, . . . I will bestow |
| 286 | on thee three crowns, one because of thy martyrdom which thou shalt accomplish, and again another because |
| 287 | of thy virginity, and a third because of thy riches which thou hast forsaken. And now fear not: | am with |
| 288 | thee at all times.” |
| 289 | And the Lord commanded Michael *{to touch the guards of the gates PY] And [they] all became as dead |
| 290 | men. And the Savior stretched forth His hand and opened the gate: the saint entered into Pouasti. And the |
| 291 | Savior gave him His peace and went up into the Heavens in glory. |
| 292 | Now the holy Apa Apoli went unto Ptolomeos the eparch and cried aloud, saying: “ Be ashamed, thou and |
| 293 | thy gods! For whereas thou didst cast me out of the city and didst shut the doors, my Lord Jesus the |
| 294 | Christ. . . hath opened all the gates.” And the eparch was troubled, and said to them of the guard: “What |
| 295 | shall we do with this little lad who wearies us, and will cause every man in this city to confess his God, and |
| 296 | {will. . .]Jupon us. ..?” And they of the guard said: “Let us cast him into the prison until. . ., that we may |
| 297 | take counsel.” And the holy Apa Apoli [was cast] into [a dungeon where there was] no. . .and no light. |
| 298 | [Christ again appears to the saint in prison. Apoli asks where his body will be buried since he is in a strange land. Christ |
| 299 | informs him of the honor to be paid to his relics.] |

| 356 | 2 ϫⲉⲡⲣⲟ is frequently found in Coptic place-names |
| 357 | (e.g. ϫⲉⲡⲣⲟⲙⲉⲛⲉⲥⲓⲛ, 4.M.G. xxv, 301) and =the Arabic |
| 358 | . W. E. Crum observes that here alone does the |
| 359 | word occur in isolation, and that in C. H, Becker's Papyri |
| 360 | Schott Reinhardt ‘shubra’= éwoixiov, though such a sense |
| 361 | is unlikely here unless in reference to a farm or out- |
| 362 | buildings of which the martyrium was the center. (The |
| 363 | ϫⲉⲡⲣⲟ of I. 5, however, seems to be equivalent to ⲡⲓϯⲙⲓ, |
| 364 | ‘village,’ in 1. 10.) |
| 365 | 3 = Seneta or Sanada near Pharbait (Amélineau, Géogr., |

| 383 | 5 “The Wallof the Moat,” identified by Crum (P.S.B.A4. |
| 384 | xxix, 291) with El Khandak. This is confirmed by entries |
| 385 | in the Arabic Calendar, s.d. Misra 1: “Aboli at El Khandak” |
| 386 | (P.O. x, 277). This translation took place before the days |
| 387 | of Cyril 11 (¢. 1078 A.D.), as is apparent from Renaudot, |
| 388 | Hist. Patr. Alex., p. 465. El Khandak was on the north |
| 389 | of Cairo (and, as its Coptic name implies, adjacent to the |
| 390 | city wall): see Amélineau, Géogr., p. 220. Vansleb (Wans- |
| 391 | leben) speaks of it as “an old suburb of Cairo, but now |
| 392 | ruinated,” and the former seat of a Bishop (The Present |
| 393 | State of Egypt. . .Enghshed by M.D., 1678, p. 76). |
