Whole text
- Adelphus adelpha mater
alle huius thugater
dedranti thanataliter - Blepomen agialos
nicatos dodrantibus
sic mundi et uitam huius - Calesomen Dominum
uti det boulen suum
nobisque auxilium - Didaxon sapiture
touto biblion acute
non debes reticere - Eqonomicum expensum
habemus apud Deum
si autou metamus auctum - Fallax est uita mundi
decidit ut flos feni
permanet regnum Dei - Gibro praxon agathon
deuita athemiton
ut sis fretus in Sion - Hupage de auido
habita in Qurii nomo
ut sis heres in Papho - Index demus est Dei
qui semper seruiens ei
erit in sceptro poli - Kallistratus mantiae
in martirio tempore
deficit ut uiolae - Lamach est limne adou
ubi amartus amentu
dusmi ictatur in luctu - Mittes hunc tete ad bethen
postquam transit in ten gen
soma aporesomen - Nuktalgicus est gibra
et ophthalmus ut talpa
non agens Dei mandata - Olla Adonai Abba
Galileos in anctera
bellantes defendit pelta - Phile poeson opera
quae Deo fuerint placita
ut sis Laisae incola - Qurius anomias ou
apolit agion autou
soson me o theus mou - Rachas est gibro merus
agonitheta phronimus
qui sine labe sit iustus - Sarxa nostra alitur
kalis postea agitur
malis luibus moritur - Thaumazo in mente mea
me pos idon in terra
anthropon sine macula - Vonite proton amomum
asarum nitentem ad bamum
agia pax et amen secum - Xenodochium presules
breue in te ge habentes
acarpam aggam agentes - Yta Abba poterion
suscepit periranton
pro redemptione anthropon

Project description: CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts
Sampling declarations
All editorial introduction, translation, and commentary have been omitted. The electronic text represents the author's restored text in all respects except that the editor's marking of this complex text for metrical features (rhyme, alliteration, and synizesis) is not reproduced; elision and syncope, however, are represented by using the entities defined in the CELT document type declaration subset for underdotted vowels.
Editorial declarations
Correction: Text has been checked and proof-read, and the markup parsed using NSGMLS.
Normalization: The electronic text represents the edited text.
Quotation: There are no quotation marks in the text.
Hyphenation: There is no hyphenation.
Segmentation: DIV0 encloses the whole volume. Metrical features are marked and numbered with lg and l.
Interpretation: Names of groups of people are marked with on, and placenames are marked with pn.In this multi-lingual poem where Hebrew words are hellenized and subsequently (but not always) latinised, and in which Greek words are latinised (but not always), language usage has not been separately tagged.
Reference declaration
The n attribute of each text (1) element in the CELT corpus carries a unique identifying number.
The title of the text is held as the first head element within each text.
