32	*Now it came to pass, after that Our Lord Jesus the Christ had fulfilled the dispensation of the saving of
33	the whole world, that He might go up into Heaven in glory, that the holy Apostles were preaching, each in
34	the country which the Lord appointed for him. It was appointed the holy John, the Son of Zebedee, to preach
35	in Asia. When therefore he was come to Ephesus, which is the metropolis of Asia, he was preaching faith
36	toward Our Lord Jesus the Christ, the living God, in “much striving and affliction and with many miracles.
37	After that he had endured many trials at the hands of the people of that place, because they were frantic
38	in their worship of idols beyond the rest (of mankind); even as has been declared unto us by the Clerk of
39	this very city—he of whom we are informed in the Book of the Acts of the Apostles* as vaunting himself vainly,
40	speaking to the people and saying: “Sirs, ye men of Ephesus, who is there who knoweth not that the city
41	of the Ephesians “is minister and worshiper of the temple of the great Artemis?” So after that John the
42	holy Evangelist had overthrown that abominable temple through his preaching, and had wrought signs and

101	while moreover the faith of Our Lord Jesus the Christ and knowledge of Him spread and increased among
102	them all; and after that all the holy Apostles had finished their course—Peter being crucified in Rome, and
103	Paul beheaded, and Mark in Rakoti drawn for two days until he died: in a word, each one in the country

106	years in the body after the Resurrection of the Lord and became an old man, exceeding heavy. He did not
107	taste the bitterness of death by the sword or by any other instrument of execution, because the Lord loved
108	him greatly according to his merit; as it is written in the Gospel. For he was the beloved of the Lord, he

111	to them, causes Prochorus and others to dig a grave outside the city. He then utters a thanksgiving to God.}

115	tame and gentle; Who didst reveal Thyself to her when she was dead, and redeem her for Thyself when she
116	was defiled with the filth of sin, and didst unite her with Thyself as a pure bride when she was defiled with the

152	*When we heard these words, we kissed his hands, weeping with a bitter weeping. And when we had left
153	him in the pit, we went unto the city and told the brethren everything; and they straightway went forth with
154	us to that place. And as for him, the holy Evangelist, we did not find him ; but we found his garments and his
155	sandals, sprinkled over with dust which covered over the pit wherein we had left him, (that is), the place into
156	which he had descended. And we marveled at that which was come to pass, (for) we did not recognize the
157	place of the pit wherein his body was buried, because of the abundance of the dust which was gathered over
158	it and which covered the whole spot. ?
159	*And so we returned to the city giving glory to Christ our God, Who doth vouchsafe such grace as this
160	to them that are worthy of it, Who glorified His beloved, the holy and pure Apostle and Evangelist John,
161	with this form of death, marvelous beyond the deaths of the rest of the Apostles.
162	And for these things we laud and we glorify our good God, our Lord Jesus the Christ, our true King, with
163	psalms and praises and spiritual songs. For to Him fitly belongeth glory, together with His good Father and
164	the Holy Spirit, the Giver of Life and consubstantial with Him, both now and at all times and for ever and

The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
