144	INTRODUCTION
145	HE manuscripts described in this catalogue are among those bought by Mrs. Rylands
146	of the Earl of Crawford, in ⲑⲟ. Ⲧⲟ these only one (no. 433) has since been added.
147	The collection consisted of two distinct parts: the earlier to be acquired (A) was brought
148	together by the late (the 25th) Earl, then Lord Lindsay, who bought a number of
149	Archdeacon Tattam’s Bohairic MSS.2 Of the Sa‘idic literary MSS. in the Bibliotheca
150	Lindesiana, which had been Tattam’s, I have been able to identify nos. 2, 8, 11, 12,
151	14, 67, 69, 70, 87, 91, 92, 94, 96, 973. Some Sa‘idic leaves—I know not which—had
152	been given to Lord Crawford by the Rev. R. Lieder+; others (so Mr. de Ricci has
153	informed me) were once in J. Lee’s collection (0b. 1866). The other section (ⲃ) had
154	been bought of two well-known Gizah dealers? by the: present Earl of Crawford, in
155	1898. Ⲧⲟ it belong all the papyri, with a much smaller number of parchment and
156	paper fragments. This section contains no Bohairic texts (excepting no. 421).
157	In 1868 the late Lord Crawford employed the Rev. J. M. Rodwell to arrange
158	and describe his MSS. Mr. Rodwell assigned to them the numbers whereby they
159	have since been known, and which, as sub-numbers in square brackets, serve to
160	distinguish this older collection (A) in the present catalogue®; and he moreover drew
161	up descriptions of 59 of them?” Ⲧⲟ these Dr. E. A. W. Budge, in 1893, added short
162	descriptions of four more MSS. (nos. 63, 434, 443, 455). After the purchase of the
163	second collection (B), I was invited to compile a catalogue of the whole, upon a more
164	extensive scale. Lord Crawford, with that liberality whereof many scholars have had
165	advantage, agreed to his MSS. being transmitted for this purpose to the British
166	Museum. Subsequently Mrs. Rylands, and eventually her trustees and librarian, by
167	generously allowing the remainder to be sent me, rendered the continuance and com-
168	pletion of my work possible.
169	The older collection (A) consists of MSS. in the two main dialects. The Sa‘idic
170	parchment MSS. came, as usual, from the library of the White Monastery: this is
171	demonstrable from the relationship of many of the fragments to others elsewhere, of
172	ascertained provenance. The few Bohairic parchments (nos. 436 ff.) are of Nitrian origin, as
173	their frequent connexion with those brought thence by Tischendorf, and now in Leipzig,
174	testifies. The paper volumes came either from Nitria or from the Cairene churches.
175	The ultimate provenance of the second collection (B) is not easier to fix than in
176	similar cases elsewhere Internal evidence, however, shows that so large a proportion
177	of it relates to the neighbourhood of Ashmunain, that we may be justified in referring

179	? Tattam’s sale was at Sotheby’s, on June 16, 1868,
180	six months after his death.
181	8 Thanks to the kind loan by Prof. Erman of
182	M. Schwartze’s copies (1848). The sole reference to
183	his Sa‘idic MSS. in Miss Pratt's Journal of a Tour

194	viil INTRODUCTION
195	to the whole as ‘the Ashmunain collection’—at least in a negative sense, when dealing
196	with the 8 numbers clearly independent of the large body of papyri’ (nos. 232, 255,
197	288, 291, 316, 347, 365, 465). The presence in collection (ⲃ) of five Fayyamic fragments
198	may be evidence against a single place of origin: one of them (no. 412) is part of
199	a MS. elsewhere, which is believed to have been obtained in the Fayyam. Another
200	curious text, in unmistakable, though perhaps artificial, Bohairic (no. 460), is difficult
201	to account for here?
202	More important is the group of papyri showing, in varying proportions, the
203	Abmimic dialect. We may count 13 of them; some, however, such small fragments
204	that it is hardly fair to decide their linguistic position. The idiom of this group ranges
205	from a practically pure Ahmimic (no. 396), through a hybrid stage (nos. 269, 270, 22
206	311, 352), down to fragments where an ⲉ- for ⲁ- -ⲉⲓ for -ⲓ, ⲻⲏⲟⲩ for -ⲏⲩ, an p- with
207	Greek verbs, may perhaps be taken as vanishing traces of the old dialect?® (nos. 271,
208	273, 274, 275, 301, 312, 314). Yet we have no grounds so far for assigning these texts
209	to a district appreciably south of Ashmunain, albeit the name of that town itself, so
210	frequent elsewhere, does not occur in them. The presence of this ancient dialect,
211	in unimpeachably Sa‘idic surroundings, would alone be a testimony to the varieties
212	of age among our documents, did not remarkable differences of script bear independent
213	evidence of this. The pieces tainted with an Ahmimic colouring are all, it will be seen,
214	written in hands far older than those usually exemplified in such collections of papyri—
215	older, indeed, than any hitherto published Coptic documentary MSS.¢+ Certain of the
216	hands I have ventured to ascribe to the 4th-sth centuries (nos. 26 ⲏ︦.) one or two,
217	more closely, to the 4th (nos. 270, 311). A number of these early texts (v. no. 268)
218	are addressed to an ecclesiastical dignitary, named John. Were I right in regarding
219	the recipient of all as one and the same person—and the assumed chronological
220	diversity between the hands is not too wide to permit this—we should thence have
221	evidence that such varieties of dialect—nos. 268, 272, 276, are in a pure Sa‘idic—were
222	coeval, though not necessarily coeval in a single district; for we do not know from
223	what distances these letters may have been sent.
224	An estimate, based upon the table, p. 241, shows that, among the 298 Sa‘idic documents
225	(nos. 115-409, 462-465),' the number of MSS. assigned to each succeeding century
226	thenceforth increases rapidly, down to the 8th, which claims a third of the total, and
227	together with which may be counted some 70 more, doubtfully placed in the century
228	preceding or following. Thereafter the numbers again diminish, the latest period
229	(11th-12th century) having only three. A type of script, exceeding all others in obscurity,
230	is that whereof Pll. 7 and 8 give the first published specimens®. It appears to have
231	developed in the roth century. Among these younger MSS. are of course all those
232	t Unless my memory deceives me, these were the
233	papyri which I saw on sale in the neighbourhood of
234	the Ezbekiyah, in the winter of 1897-98.
235	* Papyrus documents with Bohairic tendency have
236	not hitherto been met with S. of the Fayyam (v. Br.
237	Mus. nos. 572, 1237).
238	* Notable peculiarities, unsupported by the pub-
239	lished Abmimic texts, are: aeq=aaq, ⲃⲗⲗⲉⲉⲩ, ⲙⲉⲉⲩ,
240	ⲡⲉϫⲉϥ, cane. VV. Index. The idiom of districts south of
241	Abmim shows similar traces. ¥. Crum, Ostr. pp. xix,
242	XX.
243	* Br. Mus. Catal, Pl. 11, 711, PL 12, 1102 and
244	no. 1252 are alone comparable. I am ignoring the old
245	magical texts (Br. Mus. nos. 1223, 1244, Pap. Lichatschef,
246	ed. Turaief, Russian Archaeol. Soc, xviii, 1907).

248	INTRODUCTION ix
249	written upon paper (18 nos.) or parchment (3 nos.)!. The paper MSS. in the literary
250	sections likewise (e.g. liturgical and magical), belonging as they do to this same
251	‘Ashmunain collection’, must be reckoned to the latest group of our texts. Further
252	evidence, were it needed, of the late use of these two materials could be had from the
253	fact that only upon them are the texts to be found wherein the idiom displays a Bohairic
254	tendency? Another characteristic of at any rate post-Muslim times may be mentioned
255	here. Krall had noticed? that documents emanating from Muslims are distinguished,
256	now and then, by an oblique double stroke, in place of the more usual cross, before
257	the beginning of the text (v. Pl 6). Of the 13 instances in this catalogue, ⲓⲓ are in
258	texts characterized by Muslim names; and it is noticeable that the Muslim witness
259	in no. 214 employs these strokes, while the Christian signatures have the cross®.
260	In this connexion I would offer some supplementary comments upon the Plates,
261	and the grounds for the selection of the specimens reproduced.
262	Plate 1 shows first three types of uncial, no. 310 a very uncommon one for private
263	documents. No. 175 confirms Krall’s axiom? that 8th century scribes tend to avoid
264	ligatures. No. 279 appears here by an error. At the time the plates were composed,
265	I had intended to read the final date er ⲓ (assuming some local era or year of office).
266	And, even now, I cannot but record that the final letter bears but small resemblance to
267	the wd or «¥, usual in documents of the Muslim period; and further, that the metathesis
268	of ⲉ ⲟ for & ¢ is equally abnormal®. No. 7 is a specimen of that type of uncial often
269	met with in parchment MSS. in ‘Ashmunain’ (as distinct from ‘White Monastery’)
270	collections, but hitherto seldom facsimiled”. It may be compared with the script of
271	the Uncanonical Gospel fragment, Pap. Oxyrh. vol. v, PL. 1, placed by the editors as early
272	as the 4th century, a date, however, to which I should not venture to assign our no. 7.
273	Plate 2 contains one dated text (‘Addenda’ = no. 464), written in the same year
274	as Br. Mus. no. 162%; 4 liturgical pieces, nos. 49 and 55 showing what scraps were
275	deemed sufficient for use as ‘choir slips’; while the two lower specimens are from the
276	series of early letters addressed to ‘John’ (v. above).
277	Plate 3. These (excepting no. 413) are among the oldest MSS. in the Rylands
278	collection. The character of no. 311 may, as a whole, be compared with that of Pap.
279	Oxyrk. no. 299 (Ep. Rom. i), which is regarded as of the early 4th century, or with
280	Pap. Amherst, Pl. xxi, ‘late 4th or early 5th’. The writer of the former of these,
281	however, attempts a more regular, literary script than ours.
282	Plate 4. No. 271 again recalls the above-named Oxyrhynchus and Amherst papyri,
283	though the comparison must not be made from the same standpoint as for no. 3.
284	No. 270 resembles 4th century hands, such as that reproduced in Br. Mus. Gree
285	1 Ordinary literary uncials upon parchment are
286	not here in question.

288	in Br. Mus., where only one instance, and that clearly
289	a late text (no. 582), is on papyrus. The earliest dated
290	occurrence known to me is in the colophon Paris 132%,

295	(in nos. 581, 639 only a single stroke) show the same
296	state of things ; only the group nos. 1167, 1168, 1169
297	might appear ambiguous (¢/. here no. 279). H. I. Bell
298	has observed the same usage in the Jkow (Aphrodite)

306	Catal. ii, Pll. 102, 104, 105 or Deissmann’s Licht vom Osten, p. 146. No. 396 is the
307	most outspoken of our Ahmimic texts. Though not free from literary affectation, its
308	hand approaches certain informal 4th century types in its ⲉ ⲥ ⲩ.
309	Plate 5. No. 352 resembles Br. Mus. Greek Catal. iii, Pll 84, 87 (middle of 6th
310	century) ; but perhaps it is younger than these. No. 312 may be classed with no. 276
311	(PL. 3), no. 292 with no. 271 (PL. 4). No. 313, though with a preponderance of uncial
312	forms, has certain ligatures and irregularities which I take to point to the 4th or sth
313	century. (For further specimens of these early hands, ». PL 10.)
314	Plate 6 represents a substantially later epoch than those preceding. Nob. 407
315	much resembles Pl viii of the Rainer Fiihrer (ⲇ. 827). No. 287 may be somewhat
316	earlier. No. 390 has, in 1. 2, a remarkable ligature used also in the above Rainer papyrus
317	and in nos. 380 and 405 here. But whether all three belong to one period, it is difficult
318	to say. No. 308 goes a decided step farther towards the highly ligatured type shown
319	in the next two plates.
320	Plate 7. Of these three hands, no. 362 is presumably the oldest; but several
321	of its forms (ⲛ, ⲡ) and especially the ligature ay, are already those which characterize
322	the later hands—that of no. 372, for example, which is of the same type with Br. Mus.
323	Catal., Pl. 15, no. 1214.
324	Plate 8 gives two more specimens of these most difficult hands. Both may be
325	somewhat earlier than no. 37 on the foregoing plate.
326	Plate 9. The tall characters above the tachygraphic text in no. 410 recall the
327	conventionalized strokes flanking the Greek * and Graeco-Arabic protocols, as well as those
328	heading mediaeval (imperial and papal) deeds; ¢f also Pl. 10, no. 159. The Arabic
329	lines in no. 214 closely resemble the early 8th century hands of the Jkow papyri®
330	Plate 10, being the first of three additional plates, not contemplated at the outset,
331	returns again to an earlier period. No. 273 may be a rough example of the type
332	Pap. Amherst Pl. xxi; yet it might be considerably younger. No. 320 has features
333	in common with Pap. Amh. cL (a.D. 592); but I should incline to place it later than this.
334	The fantastic subscription to no. 159 is not unlike that in Vitelli’s 3rd and 11th plates.
335	This scribe’s normal hand is of a type constantly met with among *Ashmunain’ papyri.
336	Plate 11. The subject with which no. 277 is concerned—the treatment of ‘fugitive’
337	peasants—might incline us to place the MS. in the early 8th century, beside the ⲛ
338	texts Ⲧⲃⲉ script is indeed not far removed from that of Br. Mus. Catal, Pl 4,
339	Or. 6205. An 8th century date too for no. 319 is suggested by the Greek script of
340	line 1, which is similar to that of the Greek parts of the Arabic papyri from ⲉⲟⲛ
341	also by the Coptic script, itself quite of the Jkow type. On the other hand, it is
342	to be observed that the protocol does not appear yet to contain any Arabic text.
343	Plate 12. The Coptic hands in nos. 142 and 180 may be estimated by help of
344	the earlier Greek accompanying them, which is ascribable, in both cases, to the
345	8th century. In no. 137 we may see (Il. 4, 5 and subscription) both the Greek and
346	Coptic styles of a single scribe.

350	INTRODUCTION Xi
351	Few, beyond the small circle of specialists, can be expected to explore a mass of
352	texts such as those here published. For the benefit, therefore, of such as the literary
353	(theological or historical) materials may interest, I shall here draw attention to some of
354	the pieces especially noteworthy in these respects.
355	Among the Biblical texts is one hitherto unique (no. 421), parts of which are in
356	the British Museum®. It is probably the oldest of Bohairic New Testament MSS.
357	The Liturgical texts comprise a group (nos. 25-29) of Greek hymns (printed in
358	this catalogue since they were employed in the service of the Coptic church), showing
359	an unknown system of musical notation. The abbreviated directories, too, of lessons
360	and hymns (nos. 54 ff.) are of interest. No. 430 is an unusually full example of the
361	Theotokia, whereof the analysis given may be a guide in classifying this type of text.
362	The collection possesses one of the rare MSS. of the Antiphonary (no. 435 and that
363	for only a part of the year. The work would well repay investigation. In the hymn-
364	book no. 433, two names repeatedly occur (v. p. 240), which should be those of authors.
365	It is to be hoped that a key to their identity may eventually be found.
366	Conspicuous among the Homiletic texts is no. 62, which purports to be an unknown
367	work of Athanasius. The problem of authorship in no. 65 remains unsolved. John
368	of Lycopolis appears to me the most likely claimant? The fragments of Festal Letters,
369	if such they be (nos. 81-83), are not without interest. Perhaps they represent the copies
370	(translations ?) communicated to the respective monasteries 2.
371	Fragments of two Apocryphal texts are here (nos. 84, 86), the latter awaiting
372	identification; also part of a new Salomonic legend (no. 85). No. ⲟϥ is an interesting
373	Encomium on the Forty Martyrs. The indications of authorship are tantalizingly
374	insufficient. No. g5 makes it probable, as in so many other cases, that the Bohairic
375	Life of Macarius was adapted from an existing Sa‘idic version; while no. 411 shows
376	us a fourth recension—Sa‘idic, Bohairic and Syriac are already known—of the popular
377	Story of Dioscorus* No. 99 is not without its interest for students of Severus. The
378	apologetic dialogue, no. 449, may be noted here.
379	The Magical and Medical section includes several interesting texts: the long
380	recipes in no. 106, with their numerous Arabic botanical terms transcribed, and the
381	Arabic charms and magical ritual in no. 467.
382	Turning now to the ‘Documents’, we have illustrations in nos. 128 ff. of that surety
383	system, so widely developed in Byzantine and Muslim Egypt®; interesting contracts
384	(nos. 139, 144 153), unusually lengthy and well preserved leases (nos. 158, 159) and
385	remnants of a will (no. 462), the only one, so far, from Ashmunain. Among the
386	most curious pieces in the collection are the inventories of church property (no. 238),
387	and hangings (no. 244), and that of clothes, with many remarkable Arabic terms,
388	including one which suggests an etymology for the obscure Latin quadrapulus (no. 243).
389	! Catal. no. 739 (v. PL 11).
390	* Since no. 70 was described, I have found a fragm.
391	by the same hand, in the Cairo Patriarch’s collection,
392	which, in its lower margin (¢f. no. 65), shows the name
393	Ⲙⲱϩⲁ]ⲛⲙⲏⲥ. This, calling in question the authorship
394	of Brit. Mus. no. 204 &c., further complicates the
395	problem.
396	3 Cf. Br. Mus. Cat, no. 464, CRUM, Ostr., p- 7, 0. 4
397	¢ But the note on ⲣ. 240 (ad p. 29) raises the ques-
398	tion as to the true title and principal subject of this
399	work. The vol., to which Ϫⲟⲃⲉⲇ clxv ⲉⲥ. belonged,
400	ended at any rate with a Life of John of Lycopolis.
401	8 It is observable that deeds of this class are quite
402	rare in Greek, but plentiful in Coptic papyri (so notably
403	among the Jkéw-Aphroditd texts). The guarantors
404	would be the village peasantry, ignorant of Greek.

405	ⲓⲓ INTRODUCTION
406	Finally, among the Letters, the series addressed to ‘John’ (nos. 268 ff.) and already
407	described, is conspicuous by reason of its unusual antiquity. Indeed, these, with the
408	remaining letters of that early period, might be reckoned the most valuable element in
409	the entire collection. Beside the bishop’s official letter (no. 267), we may place the
410	private letter of another bishop (no. 461), in many ways a highly interesting document.
411	Letters which throw light upon the working of the provincial administration are nos. 277,
412	319, 346, while nos. 320, 321 illustrate fiscal procedure.
413	Something should be said as to certain methodical features of this catalogue.
414	Whereas all the MSS. composing the older collection (A) are described, the same
415	has not been done with the later, ‘Ashmunain’ stock. Here I have been allowed
416	to use discretion, and so have described but a selection of the great mass of fragments,
417	abandoning a considerable quantity of impracticable material to a Jimbo. Such texts
418	as are printed have been all collated, most of them several times; and it is not without
419	satisfaction that, on a final revision, I have, in many cases, found in print corrupt or
420	questionable readings to which a sic might deservedly have been added. I am well
421	aware that many a passage, in the documentary texts, has not yet been adequately
422	read: as here printed, it is but too often impossible to extract from them a reasonable
423	meaning !. But it is earnestly to be hoped that this and the similar papyrus collections
424	will, in time, be attacked afresh by other students; for such texts are destined to yield
425	invaluable contributions both towards Coptic vocabulary and syntax. The commentary
426	upon the texts offered in the footnotes may often appear unduly meagre, considering
427	the problems raised. But I have preferred to restrict it to what was needful, seeing no
428	reason to repeat arguments here or multiply evidence which those interested can quite
429	conveniently find elsewhere. The chronological Table on p. 241, is a concession to
430	criticisms upon my British Museum Catalogue; but it is still with the utmost diffidence
431	that I print it. The reproduction of dated papyri, primarily of those still lying buried
432	at Vienna, would be among the greatest boons conferable on Coptic scholarship.
433	Only two abbreviations occur frequently: Br. Mus., followed by a number, i.e. my
434	Catalogue of the Coptic MSS. in the British Museum, 1905, and KRraLL, z.e Corpus
435	Papyr. Raineri, vol. 1i, KRALL: Rechisurkunden, 1895.
436	In conclusion, I must express my hearty thanks to the John Rylands Librarian,
437	Mr. H. Guppy, who, with unwearied amiability, has acceded to my various requests
438	and throughout facilitated my work in the most liberal way; also to Mr. Hart and
439	the readers and staff of the Clarendon Press, whose skill has never been overtaxed
440	nor their patience exhausted in the slow and troublesome task of printing a book so
441	complicated as this. And I would thank those friends too—Dr. Kenyon, Sir Herbert
442	Thompson, the Rev. G. Horner, and Mr. H. I. Bell—who, by kind loans of books or the
443	verification of references, have made it possible to carry out such work at a distance from
444	all libraries.
445	W. E. CRUM.

448	between ⲩ and ϥ.

740	Greek Hymn to the Virgin, preceding the recital of the diptychs. V7. Daniel, Cod.
741	Liturg., iv. 119% This and the following numbers show a remarkable system of musical
742	notation, consisting in from 1 to 6 oblique strokes, with a few other signs, above certain
743	syllables. Ⲓ have failed to find examples of it elsewhere. The R. P. L. ⲢⲂⲧⲓⲧ (Constanti-
744	nople) is of opinion that this system, otherwise unknown to him, indicates the duration of
745	the notes, but, at the same time, their rhythmic emphasis. He suggests that in the strokes
746	we may seek the origin of the ‘grace notes’ now in use in the Greek church music.
747	Dom A. WiLMarRT (Solesmes) has referred me to THiBAUT's art., Byz. Zeitschr., viil. 122,
748	where signs somewhat resembling ours are discussed.

1292	cited and attributed to Athanasius. It does not however appear among his published

1294	edition. The text is moreover identical with that of Brit. Mus. Catal. no. ggo. The
1295	following is an abstract.
1296	Vain swearing is to be avoided, that our life be profitable and worthy. Those that
1297	‘walk angelically’ must shun the desires of the flesh, must live on herbs and water,
1298	not on flesh and wine, eat sparingly, keep vigil rather than sleep. But let such as cannot
1299	attain the heights (“hill tops’) at least cast away worldly desires, that they be not led astray
1300	from God’s service. Fleshly desires, gluttony (-ko\taxds?), cunning, drunkenness &c. beget
1301	greed of wealth and divers cares. Let us be like Lot, who was content with a small city.
1302	Let fornication be far from us, lest we nourish a consuming fire. Let us not be unbelieving,
1303	rather let faith be displayed. Let? none see thee behaving unseemly and say, ‘ This is he
1304	that disciplines himself (doyetv), to attain the gift of heaven; this is the disciple and pupil of
1305	the wise teacher; this is the man chosen from the world and reckoned to the angels of
1306	heaven.” Let Christ be glorified in thee; if worthy of Him, show forth His glory. Thy
1307	limbs have been sanctified; let them not be joined unto harlots. Abuse not nature :
1308	marriage is for the begetting of children alone. A help (Boyds) has been given thee;
1309	make use thereof in holiness. The flesh should not overrule the spirit. Converse spiritually,
1310	sing psalms; these are the medicines of God’s house, healing the soul. Follow not fleshly
1311	pleasures, such as wine feasts (cvpmdoior); though wine may be used moderately. This I say
1312	not to the baptized (‘enlightened’) alone, but to those also that prepare. The baptized must
1313	be worthy of their light. Great is Christ's grace; but see thou sin not after knowledge.
1314	Who receives a king but first prepares his house? Thus came John, to-prepare for Christ.
1315	Return then not to evil, even though nature draw thee thither. The word of God and
1316	prayer, these will conquer the passions. For a little pleasure’s sake, estrange not thyself
1317	from the eternal blessedness. We are able to repent; let us pray for one another. Woe
1318	to unbelievers, estranged at the last from God ; none can then bewail but his own sins.
1319	! The Coptic prefix shows that the Greek word was an abstract noun. % This is the passage cited; v. p. 27.

1321	Now is the time to struggle and to help ourselves and to put on the wedding-garment.
1322	Christ set up for us a cross, which is our salvation; He who with His father created man,
1323	Who took flesh in the Virgin Mary, on our behalf, very God of very God, true light of
1324	true light, without beginning nor end; unto Whose Godhead the prophets did testify ;
1325	this deathless Jesus, Who died in the flesh for us, was made man like us, like us died
1326	according to human dispensation (oixovopia), but on the third day rose again, according to
1327	the scriptures and, in unspeakable glory, ‘ascended into heaven and there sat upon His
1328	father’s right ; this same Jesus, God’s Son, Who in the Holy Spirit entered Mary’s womb,
1329	declared to His disciples that the very body which dies shall rise again. They believed
1330	on Him and worshipped; let us do likewise and henceforth depart from all sin—list of
1331	sins—; for such as do these shall not inherit the kingdom. What shame to us to remain
1332	in sin, when once we have known God. What shame to hear a layman (Aauwds) swearing
1333	falsely, by God’s name, above all a monk or son of the church. Better they had not
1334	known God, than thus to set His commandments at naught. Let us pay heed to Him,
1335	and so become united unto Him. Through Him the martyrs were strong and would not
1336	deny Him; and thus, in the persecution, they, by their good choice (mpoaipests), became
1337	His comrades, and when brought to Alexandria (Rakote) and set before the tyrants
1338	judgement-seat, arrayed like thieves in skins, they heard his exhortation: ‘ Obey the laws
1339	of our lords the emperors and be ashamed before them. For in their benevolence and
1340	care for us, they do counsel (ocvvBovievew) us to worship the gods. Obey them, then,
1341	and be saved from an evil death, giving joy to us and all that behold you. For because
1342	of your disobedience are these tortures set here” Hearing this, the martyrs looked
1343	toward heaven, remembering Jesus that had died for them, and elected to die rather at
1344	men’s hands, than to fall into the hands of the living God. Their various deaths. All
1345	ended their martyrdom bravely, trusting that Christ would give their bodies to them
1346	again. May we also, through His name, attain forgiveness.

1507	Homily or Epistle. On p. @ix the work ends with the subscription ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲝⲏ‐
1508	ⲅⲏⲥⲓⲥ. The next page is occupied with a colophon, which, after the recital of a short
1509	creed ?, states that ‘this ⲕⲱ of the blessed Apa John’ had been lost, until ‘God gave
1510	it us in a small book, written in ancient writing’ ⲉϥⲥⲏϩ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲁⲓⲟⲛ This was then tran-
1511	scribed ⲁⲛⲡⲟⲟⲛⲉϥ as a memorial and entrusted to ‘our fathers that are in the desert,” to
1512	be kept in the church on the hill of the Virgin? so that all who wished might get comfort
1513	therefrom and find grace with ‘this great and perfect ⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲟϩ archimandrite, Apa John.’
1514	That this is not Chrysostom is certain from the biblical quotations and the title archiman-
1515	drite. John of Lycopolis has this title, ⲇ p. 37, and would be honoured in Shenoute’s
1516	monastery; but no work of his is extant®. The rank of John, bishop of Parallus
1517	(Borlos)”, likewise excludes him. Nor does John ‘the monk, of the Thebaid,’ as yet
1518	an obscure but prolific homilist, appear to be our author?
1519	The 32 Curzon leaves of this MS. are apparently the work of one author; for in
1520	both its fragments frequent reference is made to the ‘brethren,’ whom the writer
1521	addresses, and who dwell in ‘the holy ⲧⲧⲟⲓ of Christ,” wearing the habit oyfua, and
1522	further, ‘our holy father’ is cited in both (‘the words of scripture and the saints, especially
1523	of our holy father,” ‘the commandments given us by God through our holy father,” ‘our
1524	holy father, in whom God spake’). His ‘epistles’ are quoted as follows: (ⲣ. sm) ‘A
1525	heathen or heretic or a blood-shedding gentile, if he turn to God, it is meet God should
1526	receive him, rather than the brother of this sort, that doeth these abominations in His
1527	holy ⲧⲧⲟ, while bearing God’s holy name and the (monastic) habit’; (ⲣ. ⲟ︦ⲑ︦) ‘All the
1528	sinners that have died, since Cain until now and those that shall die unto the world’s
1529	1 Zorea’s reference to * classis iv’ is a mistake.

1539	mandrite of Sifit and afterwards bishop of Hermopolis,
1540	contemporary with Theophilus (Zoeca ⲣ. 10%, Brit. Mus.
1541	no. 184). Another John, of Scete, also a prophet, was con-
1542	temporary with Theodosius II (Nav in Journ. A4s., 1903,

1544	7 He lived about ⲇ.. ϭⲟⲟ (v. Hist. of Patriarcks

1550	MSS. of his writings (Brit. Mus. Add. 17,169, 14,170, 14,611
1551	and 1%,16%) for the long texts here described, but has
1552	failed to find them. According to Cureton (Corp. Ignat.
1553	352) he was a contemporary of Evagrius Pont. (6. ca. 401).
1554	The scribe of Add. 1%,172 held him to be John of Lycopolis.

1557	that are not in this state and that have not this (sc. purity) in the congregations of God ;
1558	(ⲣ. da) ‘Woe unto them that are companions one to another in slandering (karakaid),
1559	that run one to another in great eagerness, that they may fulfil it together’; (ⲣ. eas) ‘It is
1560	said concerning two races (of animals) that they do cast up their émfvuio by their mouths :
1561	one race is among the birds that are in the waters and the other is among the insects
1562	that are upon the earth. Even so are such men as slander and as hearken willingly.’
1563	The phraseology in some of these strongly recalls Shenoute ‘Our holy father Apa
1564	Athanasius’ is also quoted: (ⲣ. @a) ‘Preserve the honoured image of man; for thou
1565	shalt not be called man when thou doest the deeds of bestiality (~aoyov).
1566	The texts treat (Curzon) of repentance and its especial need for those dwelling in
1567	monasteries; of wisdom and its value. The unrepentant are likened to Cain, the men
1568	of the Deluge, Pharaoh, those smitten in the desert, Korah, to those that refused the
1569	prophets and apostles, to the heathen and the heretics. If the ancient world was not
1570	spared, wherefore should we be? (ⲟⲇ) Of the creation of Adam and his rule over
1571	the beasts; of Cain, Abel, Noah, Abraham &c. (Ryranps, Curzon) Of philanthropy
1572	and misanthropy, the charitable and the uncharitable. The latter shall stand upon the
1573	left; they belong all to the Devil. Of diligence at prayers (odvafes). Of the blessedness
1574	of those ‘of our Bios,” and of them that understand good and evil. Of slanderers and
1575	their hearers; they are like fornicators and thieves. What man sows shall grow
1576	and spread, whether evil or good. Of the Lord’s Prayer, which is commented at length.
1577	Finally, a long doxology, blessing God.
1578	Characteristic of the largest fragment is the expression ‘ the Almighty (mavroxp.) Jesus.”
1579	The occasion of writing is indicated by pp. ok and ¢X of the Curzon fragment, where
1580	reference is made to ‘these five days’ that are quickly passing. But I do not know to

1827	From a Homily, apparently upon the Virgin or the Birth of Christ. Mary is likened
1828	to Gideon’s fleece, to a well-watered land whence the rod of Jesse springs. Joseph
1829	renounced all worldly possessions to obtain Mary !. She is a pearl in the midst of other
1830	jewels, in a meadow girt about by the sea, the fish in which live all at peace. When
1831	the pearl’s time is fulfilled, it joins that other pearl which lies below the water in its
1832	shell ϫⲉⲕ, and together they mount up and illuminate the field and trees. The pearl in
1833	the meadow is now named ⲁⲭⲁⲧⲏⲥ, according to the reckoning ⲡⲱⲱⲡ of its time, which
1834	is 1110, that is, 1000 and 100 and 10. Now ⲓⲟⲟ is ⲓⲟ times 10 ⲙⲏⲧ ⲙⲙⲏⲧ, and this is
1835	Jesus; for He is ⲙⲏⲧ (truth)2 On the road to Jerusalem, Mary brings forth her child
1836	in a wayside tomb and lays him in a manger. Joseph calls in Salome, the midwife,
1837	who forthwith proclaims the virgin-birth. The very flesh which Jesus had from Mary
1838	shall sit on the Father’s right. For Him who bade the earth be the ⲙⲧⲟ of all men
1839	did the Virgin suffer in childbirth. The magi forsake their magic and bring gifts. Herod
1840	thinks they come to seek John the Baptist; whom, being unable to find, he slays
1841	Zacharias. The latter is secretly buried; none see his blood. The weeping of Rachel
1842	(Matt. ii. 18) is explained by the story of an Israelite mother’s bereavement in Egypt.
1843	There was joy in all the world at Christ's birth; he reopened to men the gates of Paradise
1844	and took in the soul of Abel, so that his blood, which still cried out, might be silenced,
1845	The phoenix, burnt upon the altar, rises on the third day as a worm from the ashes, grows,
1846	again puts forth wings and every 500 years returns to the temple and altar (sic expl.)

2023	or uncertain, while the beginnings or ends of many lines are hidden by the present
2024	binding. The text relates a legend of the building of Solomon’s temple. Thabor,
2025	king of the gentiles (éfvos), appears to meditate war with him; but hearing at night
2026	the noise of the spirits (Saiudror) whom Solomon was forcing to build for him, he
2027	is terrified and realizes that for such an adversary he is no match; he would be
2028	trampled down like the potter's clay. At the end of the fragment is a reference to
2029	the dexavot.
2030	I have failed to find any trace of such a story. The name Thabor might suggest
2031	the wellknown Thamur-Shamir-Sachr?; but the legends have apparently no common
2032	element except the temple building.

2274	Ptolemy was 18 years old and the son of Nestorius, a citizen (molrevdpevos) of
2275	Nekintore (Denderah?) in the Thebais. His teachers were Papnoute of Pboou and Doro-
2276	theus, who had urged him to martyrdom. The /kegemon, whom he finds at ‘Tohe of the
2277	Horses?’ attempts to win him by mildness, but Ptolemy repels him and is condemned to
2278	various tortures. The 24th Hathor is mentioned as the date of his trial. The last of the
2279	above Paris leaves relates to the miracles at his rémost. Rossi has published (/ ¢. 45)
2280	fragments of the martyrdom, under Diocletian, of a saint of the same name, whose day
2281	is the 11th Kihak and who occurs® in Aba ’l-Barakat’s calendar (Paris MS. arabe 203).

6044	2 The context makes it very improbable that this is the

6046	that which the legend of Christ's sojourn in Egypt identi-
6047	fies with Koskam (Paris 131° 102, Sermon of Timothy of

6050	versions of this legend (Br. Mus. Arab. Cat., Suppl. p. 820),
6051	by Abi Salih 48 a and the Synaxarium (6th Hatfir) at or
6052	close to Al-Muharrak, 7.e. a little S.W. of Al-Ksstyah, some
6053	texts indeed identifying Koskam and Kbssiyah (Buck,
6054	Mirae. of Virgin, Meux MS., 1900, pp. 67 and 125,
6055	AmfLiNEAU, Géogr. 555). This Kos-Koskam-Kfssiyah then
6056	= Cuse, other forms of which name (as H. I. BELL points
6057	out) closely resemble it: Geo. Cypr. Koioos, Hierocl.
6058	*Axobaca, ⲝ. Zelschr. ii. 25 Koos. AMELINEAU has
6059	seen (Geogr. 494) that this is the Kos S. of Ⲧⲉⲓ reached
6060	by the travellers from Bawit (Zora 366). The Kfig, named
6061	with Shmoun and ‘the low land’ (5)! Jaul as Dr. WessELY
6062	informs me) as an administrative district in Fahrer Rainer
6063	no. 4zg, is presumably the same. Hence the form Al-

6290	Letter from Sarapamon, head (?) of the community of the ‘rock’ of Apa Thomas?
6291	to ..... , archimandrite ⲟⲓ another monastery. Gaps and many illegible letters make
6292	details obscure. His humility (-é\dx.oros) does obeisance (mpoorurev) and (greets. . . . . by
6293	this letter), till such time as God shall make him worthy to do so in person (kara mpéowmov),
6294	and so fulfil his joy. Ⲡⲉ relates that certain youths have fled from the monastery (povaor.)
6295	and gone south, to the rémos of . . . .. There they had induced (weifew) certain sailors (?)
6296	trading in grain, to take them north. The writer has therefore sent his son, the deacon
6297	Germanus, to seek the fugitives, and begs his ‘most saintly (6otdrares) father’ to authorize
6298	(mporpémew) that undertaking (ⲗⲟⲥ) be given them in his name (that they shall suffer)
6299	nothing beyond (wapd) their strength and that no man shall. .... (rapépyeofai) them in any
6300	wise (and that they shall be readmitted) as before, in peace (elprjwm). ‘For thy most
6301	saintly (é60.) fatherhood knoweth (voeiv) the storms of youth (and how such) as these are not
6302	of experience for going abroad, neither know they what it is seduceth (?) them.” He begs
6303	therefore that the archimandrite will persuade (weifew) and despatch them, that he may
6304	continue (to be grateful) also in this respect (uépos). He asks that he may be worthy to have
6305	news of his correspondent’s health by letter (ér.), that his joy may be full.
