| 1 | XV. THE MARTYRDOM OF THEODORE THE STRATELATES |
| 2 | Parchment. A complete leaf and two fragments (Cairo, no. 49. i-iii) from a single ms. Frag. 1, measuring |
| 3 | 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, |
| 4 | but no apparent traces of horizontal ruling. Frag. 2 (27.5 ⲓⲓ cm.) is the outer edge of a leaf; Frag. 3 is the |
| 5 | middle portion of a sheet of two leaves measuring respectively 6 x 12.5 cm. and 10 xX 20.5 cm. A fourth |
| 6 | fragment, 6.5 x 22 cm., is the top of a leaf numbered on the verso ⲕ︦ⲇ︦, but comes from another Ms. as the |
| 7 | larger hand and wider column show. The minor fragments, though inconsiderable, are here published in the |
| 8 | hope that their complements may be identified at Leipzig or elsewhere. |
| 9 | The script of Frags. ⲓ- (see Plate XI ⲃ, and cp. Hyvernat, Album, Plate xx) is identical with the script |
| 10 | of certain leaves at Leipzig, Cod. Tisch. xxvI, 23334 all certainly belonged to one ms., in which (be it |
| 11 | noted) Frag. ⲓ immediately preceded Cod. Tisch. xxvi, 28, which begins, ⲙⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁⲕϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲙ̃ⲡⲟⲗⲉ‐ |
| 12 | ⲙⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ. |
| 13 | As Winstedt has pointed out,’ the version of Theodore’s martyrdom thus represented was distinct from |
| 14 | the versions of Cod. Vat. Copt. LxVI, 7, and of the other surviving fragments. |
| 15 | I strongly suspect that the considerable fragment at Turin® (acquired by Drovetti almost certainly from |
| 16 | the Monastery of Saint Macarius’), belonged to the same ms. as the new fragments and its fellows at Leipzig. |
| 17 | If this is so, our first and second fragments would belong to the earlier part of the work (missing in the Turin |
| 18 | ⲙⲑ.) while Frag. 3 (which belongs to the actual martyrdom of the saint) would fall in the lacuna marked |
| 19 | by de Rossi, closely preceding p. 5 of the Turin ms. Frag. 4 is likely to have belonged to a collection of the |
| 20 | Miracles of Theodore similar to that contained in Cod. Vat. Copt. LXVI, ⲟϥ |

| 62 | [It came to pass that when the] “holy man saw the Lord Jesus the Christ with His holy Angels standing |
| 63 | by Him, while the whole place was filled with light, he feared greatly and became as a dead man. But the |
| 64 | Savior stretched forth His hand and signed (with the cross) his whole body in the Name of the Father and |
| 65 | of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. He took away his fear from him, and said unto him: “Take courage, |
| 66 | Theodore My chosen one, be not afraid. Rise up that I may speak with thee and show thee all those things |
| 67 | which shall befall thee, to the end that thou mayest be strong of heart and contend in the good contest, until |
| 68 | thou shalt receive the crown of victory and inherit the good things of the Kingdom of Heaven which I have |
| 69 | prepared for those who shall love Me and do My will.” |
| 70 | “Then the holy man Theodore answered: “Who art Thou, my Lord, that I see Thee with this great glory |
| 71 | about Thee P”” The Savior said unto him: “I am Jesus, thy King: I am the crown of them that take in |
| 72 | hand to contend for My Name’s sake. Dost thou not remember the day when thou wast sick ? Thou didst |
| 73 | escape death by saying in the presence of them who surrounded thee :* * Would that I also had become a martyr, |
| 74 | to die for the name of the Christ, if perchance I might find a little loving mercy at His dreadful judgment- |
| 75 | seat.” But now, Theodore My chosen, prepare thyself to contend for My Name's sake. Ⲓ have finished pra- |
| 76 | paring for thee thy dwelling in the Heavens; | have written thy name in the Book of Life.” |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
