4 witnesses served

Read the standard witness

A composition is a work (ruling WORK-1): every version of it that is served here is a witness, listed below in rule order. One standard witness (★) is what a reader sees first, chosen by rule WORK-2 — not a stub › complete › share-safe (public = attribution, WORK-5) › typed over OCR › dialect (Bohairic first for the Bible and the Liturgy, else the dialect the composition was written in) › Yousef Hanna's own › SCRIPTORIUM-annotated › gold › longest; a ruled standard overrides the rule. This site applies its share gate first and then the same rule, so the standard here is the best share-safe witness. A witness may be a part of a container file (an edition holding several works, WORK-9): its line range is named and its page shows only that range.

Standard witness: ★ Coptic SCRIPTORIUM — by rule: 5. dialect (Bohairic first: Bible shelf): sahidic over Proverbs :: greek.swete (greek)

The standard witness: 9,935 words; all 4 witnesses served: 41,892 words.
