APa 9:12 ... εἰ]πὲ οὖν, τ̣ίνα ἐστ̣ὶ̣ν̣ [τ]ὰ π[ερὶ τὸν θ(εό)ν] [ὃν σὺ κηρύσσει]ς.

... Thou-should-have-had-said accordingly, what-ones it-be the-ones about to-the-one to-a-Deity to-which thou thou-heralder.

APa 9:13 ὁ δὲ Παῦλος εἶπε[ν] π̣ρ̣[ὸς αὐτόν] [ποίει ὃ θέλεις]· μ̣η̣δ̣εμίαν γὰρ ἔχεις ἐξουσί[αν κατ' ἐμοῦ] [εἰ μὴ εἴ]ς μου τὸ σῶμα, τὴν δὲ ψυχὴν μ̣ὴ̣ ἀ̣π̣[οκτενεῖς].

The-one then-also a-Paulos it-had-said toward to-it, Thou-should-do-unto to-which thou-determine; to-lest-then-also-one too-thus thou-hold to-a-being-out-unto down of-ME if lest into of-me to-the-one to-an-en-capsuling-to, to-the-one then-also to-a-breathing lest thou-shall-kill-off.

APa 9:14 καὶ ταῦτα ὁ ἡγεμὼν ἀκούσας ... τῷ θεάτρῳ μετὰ τοῦ ὄχλου εἶπεν· ἄνδρες Ἐφ[έσιοι], ὅτι μὲν ὁ ἀνὴρ οὗτως καλῶς εἶπεν οἶδα, ἔ̣τι δὲ ὅ̣[τι νῦν] καιρὸς ταῦτα ὑμᾶς μαθεῖν οὐκ ἔστιν. τί οὖν θέλε[τ]ε [κρί]νατε. οἱ μὲν ἔλεγον κατάκαιε αὐτὸν π̣ρ̣ὸ̣ς̣ τ̣ῷ̣ ... , οἱ [δ]ὲ χρυσοχόοι ἔλεγον· εἰς θηρία τὸν ἄνδρα, καὶ [θορύβου] γινομένου μεγάλου κατέκρινεν αὐτὸν εἰς θη[ρία ὁ] [Ἱ]ερώνυμος φραγελλώσας. οἱ μὲν οὖν ἀδελφ[οὶ ὡς τῆς] Πεντηκοστῆς οὔσης οὐκ ἔκλαυσαν οὐδὲ γό[νατα ἔκλι]ναν, ἀλλὰ ἀγαλλιώμεν[ο]ι προσηύχοντο [ἑστῶτες.] [μετ]ὰ̣ δὲ Ϛ' ἡμέρας̣ ἐποίε̣ι̣ ὁ̣ Ἱερώνυμος κυν[ηγίαν] [ὥστ]ε̣ πάντας το[ὺ]ς θεωροῦντας τὰ μεγ̣έ̣θ̣η̣ τ̣[ῶν θ̣ηρίων] ἀποθα[υ]μ<ά>ζειν.

And to-the-ones-these, the-one a-leader, having-heard, ... unto-the-one unto-an-en-spectating with of-the-one of-a-crowd it-had-said, Men Efesos-belonged, to-which-a-one indeed the-one a-man unto-the-one-this unto-seemly it-had-said, I-had-come-to-see if-to-a-one then-also to-which-a-one now a-time to-the-ones-these to-us to-have-had-learned not it-be. To-what-one accordingly ye-determine, ye-should-have-separated. The-ones indeed they-were-forthing, Thou-should-burn-belong-down to-it toward unto-the-one ... the-ones then-also gold-pourers they-were-forthing, Into to-beastlets to-the-one to-a-man; and of-a-tumult of-becoming of-great it-separated-down to-it into to-beastlets, the-one an-Ierônumos, having-en-scourged. The-ones indeed accordingly brethrened as of-the-one of-a-Fiftieth of-being not they-sob-belonged, not-also to-knees they-clined, other excess-jump-belonging-unto they-were-goodly-holding-toward having-hath-had-come-to-stand. With then-also to-six to-dayednesses it-was-doing-unto, the-one an-Ierônumos, to-a-dog-leading-unto as-also to-all to-the-ones to-spectating-unto to-the-ones to-greateednesses of-the-ones of-beastlets to-off-marvel-to. Of-a-Paulos of-having-had-come-to-be-binded ... of-it not it-nodded-off-of, it-had-came-toward then-also ... it-heard of-the-ones of-leadednesses-along to-a-lisping-to-of, and to-the-one to-a-tumult of-the-ones to-the-ones to-beastlets of-carrying-to. and ... having-had-came down to-the-one to-portaled-beside of-the-one of-a-stadion, down to-which a-Paulos it-had-come-to-have-been-latch-belonged, it-hollered-unto unto-great, as-also to-all ... to-holler-unto, The-one a-lion; and too-thus it-was-roaring unto-bittered and unto-tautened-in, as-also and to-a-Paulos to-have-had-fallen-out of-the-one of-a-goodly-holding-toward to-having-been-en-dired.

APa 9:16 ἦ̣[ν δὲ ἀνήρ] [τις] Διόφαντος ἀπελεύθερος Ἱερωνύμου, οὗ ἡ γ̣υν̣ὴ̣ μαθή[τρια ἦ]ν Παύλου καὶ νυκτὸς κα̣ὶ̣ ἡμέρη̣ς παρεκά[θητ]ο αὐτῷ [ὥστε ζ]ηλοῦν τὸν Διόφαντον καὶ σπουδάζειν τὰ θηριομαχῖα. [καὶ ἐπ]εθύμησεν ἡ Ἀρτεμύλλα [ἡ] τοῦ Ἱερωνύμου ἀκοῦσαι προς[ευχομ]ένου Παύλου καὶ εἶπεν [τῇ Διο]φάντου γυναικὶ Εὐβούλᾳ̣· ... ἀκοῦσαι προσευχὴν τοῦ [θ]ηριομάχου λόγον. καὶ ἀπελθοῦ[σα ἤγγει]λ̣εν τῷ Παύλῳ, καὶ χαρᾶς πλησθεὶς ὁ Παῦλος εἶπεν· ἄγα[γε αὐτ]ήν. ἡ δὲ μετενδυσαμένη σκυθροπότερα ἱμάτια ἀπῆλ[θεν] πρὸς αὐτὸν μετὰ τῆς Εὐβούλας.

It-was then-also a-man a-one a-Diofantos en-freed-off of-an-Ierônumos, of-which the-one a-woman a-learneress of-a-Paulos and of-a-night and of-a-dayedness it-was-sitting-beside unto-it as-also to-en-crave to-the-one to-a-Diofantos and to-hastenee-to to-the-ones to-beastlet-battled. And it-passioned-upon-unto, the-one an-Artemulla the-one of-the-one of-an-Ierônumos, to-have-heard of-goodly-holding-toward of-a-Paulos, and it-had-said unto-the-one of-a-Diofantos unto-a-woman unto-a-Euboulê ... to-have-heard to-a-goodly-holding-toward of-the-one of-beastlet-battled to-a-forthee. And having-had-came-off it-leadeeered unto-the-one unto-a-Paulos, and of-a-joy having-been-repleted the-one a-Paulos it-had-said, Thou-should-have-had-led to-it. The-one then-also having-sunk-in-with to-more-sullen-looked to-apparelets it-had-came-off toward to-it with of-the-one of-an-Euboulê.

APa 9:17 ὡς δὲ ἶδεν αὐτὴν Παῦλος, [ἐστ]έναξεν καὶ εἶπεν· γύναι ἡ τούτου τοῦ κόσμου ἄρχουσα [ἡ τ]ο̣ῦ̣ χρυσοῦ πολλοῦ δέσποτις ἡ τῆς τρυφῆς πολλῆς πολεῖ[τ]ι̣[ς] ἡ τῶν ἱμ̣ατίων ἀλαζών, κάτισον εἰς τὸ ἔδαφος καὶ [ἐπι]λ̣άθου τοῦ πλούτου καὶ τοῦ κάλλους σου καὶ τῶν κοσμί[ων] [[σου κομπῶν]]. οὐδὲν γάρ σε ταῦτα ὠφελήσει, ἐὰν μὴ θεὸν [αἰ]τ̣ή̣σῃ̣ τὸν [[τὰ]] μὲν ὧδε δυνατὰ σκύβαλα ἡγούμενον, τὰ δὲ ἐκεῖ [θ]αυμάσια χαριζόμενον. χρυσὸς ἀπόλλυται πλοῦτος καταναλίσκεται ἱμάτια κατατρίβεται κάλλος γηρᾷ καὶ πόλεις μεγάλαι μετατεθήσονται καὶ κόσμος αἴρεται ἐν πυρὶ διὰ τὴν [[αν]] τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀνομίαν. μόνος δὲ ὁ θεὸς μένει καὶ ἡ δι' αὐτοῦ διδομένη ἡ υἱοθεσία, ἐν ᾧ [δε]ῖ̣ σωθῆναι. καὶ νῦν Ἀρτεμύλλα ἔλπισον ἐπὶ θεὸν καὶ [ῥ]ύσεταί σε, ἔλπισον ἐπὶ Χριστὸν καὶ δώσι σοι ἄφεσιν ἁμαρ[τι]ῶν καὶ ἐπιθήσι σοι ἐλευθέριον στέφανον, ἵνα [μ]ηκέτι εἰδώλοις λατρεύῃς καὶ κνίσαις ἀλ[λ]ὰ ζῶν[τ]ι θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ Χριστοῦ, οὗ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶ[ν] [α]ἰώνων, ἀμήν. καὶ ταῦτα Ἀρτεμύλλα ἀκ[ο]ύ̣[σα]σα [μ]ετὰ Εὐβούλας ἐδεήθη Πα[ύ]λου, ἵνα λούσῃ ἤ̣δ̣[η] ἐ̣ν̣ θ̣ε̣ῷ̣. καὶ εἰς αὔρι̣ο̣ν̣ ἦν τὰ θηριομαχία

As then-also it-had-seen to-it, a-Paulos, it-narrowed-to and it-had-said, Woman, the-one of-the-one-this of-the-one of-an-orderation firsting, the-one of-the-one of-a-gold of-much a-bind-doeress, the-one of-the-one of-a-luxury of-much a-city-belongeress, the-one of-the-ones of-apparelets vaporinged-of, thou-should-have-sat-down-to into to-the-one to-a-beloweedness and thou-should-have-secluded-upon of-the-one of-a-wealth and of-the-one of-a-seemlieedness of-thee and of-the-ones of-orderation-belonged of-thee of-dins. To-not-then-also-one too-thus to-thee the-ones-these it-shall-aidance-unto, if-ever lest to-a-Deity thou-might-have-appealed-unto to-the-one to-the-ones indeed which-then-also to-able to-dog-castings-to to-leading-unto, to-the-ones then-also thither to-marvel-belonged-to to-granting-to. A-gold it-destructeth-off, a-wealth it-be-other-alonged-up-down, apparelets it-be-rubbed-down, a-seemlieedness it-oldeneth-unto, and cities great they-shall-be-placed-with, and an-orderation it-be-lifted in unto-a-fire through to-the-one ever of-the-ones of-mankinds to-an-un-parceleeing-unto. Stayeed then-also the-one a-Deity it-stayeth, and the-one through of-it being-given the-one a-son-placing-unto, in unto-which it-bindeth to-have-been-saved-to. And now Artemulla thou-should-have-drove-sureed-to upon to-a-Deity and it-shall-tract to-thee, thou-should-have-drove-sureed-to upon to-Anointed and it-might-have-had-given unto-thee to-a-sending-off of-un-adjustings-along-unto and it-might-have-placed-upon unto-thee to-en-freed-belonged to-a-wreath, so lest-if-to-a-one unto-images thou-might-have-served-of and unto-savourednesses, other unto-lifing-unto unto-a-Deity and unto-a-Father of-Anointed, of-which the-one a-reckonedness into to-the-ones to-ages of-the-ones of-ages, amên. And to-the-ones-these an-Artemulla having-heard with of-a-Euboulê it-was-binded of-a-Paulos, so it-might-have-bathed which-then in unto-a-Deity. And into to-morrow it-was the-ones beastlet-battled.

APa 9:18 καὶ ὁ Ἱερώνυμος ἤκουσεν ὑπὸ Διοφάντου, ὅτι αἱ γυνεκες νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέραις παρηκάθηντο Παύλῳ, καὶ οὐ μικρῶς ὀργίζετο τῇ Ἀρτεμύλλᾳ καὶ τῇ ἀπελευθέρᾳ Εὐβούλᾳ, καὶ δειπνήσας ἀνεχώρησεν ἐνωρίστερον ὁ Ἱερώνυμος, ἵνα ταχέως ἐπ[ι]τελέσῃ τὰ κυνήγια. αἱ δὲ εἶπον Παύλῳ· θέλεις χαλκέα ἄγωμεν, ἵνα ἡμᾶ[ς] λούσῃς εἰς θάλασσαν λυθείς; καὶ εἶπεν Παῦλος· οὐ θέλω, ἐγὼ γὰρ πεπίστευκα θεῷ, ὃς ἐκ δεσμῶν ἐρύσατο τὸν κόσμον ὅλον.

And the-one an-Ierônumos it-heard under of-a-Diofantos to-which-a-one the-ones women of-a-night and of-a-dayedness they-were sitting-down-beside unto-a-Paulos, and not unto-small it-was-stressing-to unto-the-one unto-an-Artemulla and unto-the-one unto-en-freed-off unto-a-Euboulê, and having-mealed-unto it-spaced-up-unto to-more-houred-in, the-one a-Ierônumos, so unto-quick it-might-have-finished-upon-unto to-the-ones to-dog-leadlets. The-ones then-also they-had-said unto-a-Paulos, Thou-determine to-a-copperer-of we-might-lead, so to-us thou-might-have-bathed into to-a-sea having-been-loosed? And it-had-said, a-Paulos, Not I-determine, I too-thus I-had-come-to-trust-of unto-a-Deity, which out of-bindeeings-to it-tracted to-the-one to-an-orderation to-whole.

APa 9:19 καὶ ἐβόησεν Παῦλος πρὸς τὸν θεὸν τῷ σαββάτῳ ἐπερχομένης τῆς κυριακῆς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾖ ἔμελλεν θηριομαχεῖν ὁ Παῦλος καὶ εἶπεν· ὁ θεός μου Χριστὲ Ἰησοῦ ὁ λυτρωσάμενός με ἐκ τοσούτων κακῶν, δὸς ἀπέναντι Ἀρτεμμύλας καὶ Εὐβούλας τῶν σῶν ῥαγῆναι τὰ δεσμὰ ἀπὸ τῶν χερῶν μου. καὶ διαμαρτυρομένου ταῦτα Παύλου εἰσῆλθεν παῖς λείαν εὐειδὴς ἐν χάριτι καὶ ἔλυσεν τὰ δεσμὰ Παύλου μειδιάσαντος τοῦ παιδὸς καὶ εὐθέω̣ς ἀνεχώρησεν. διὰ δὲ τὴν ὀπτασίαν τὴν γενομένην Παύλῳ καὶ τὸ σημεῖον τὸ ἐνάρετον ἐπὶ τῶν δεσμῶν ἐξέπτη̣ ἡ λύπη αὐτοῦ ἡ τῶν θηριο̣μ̣αχίων̣ καὶ ἀγαλλιώμενος ἐσκίρτησεν ὡς ἐμ παραδείσῳ·

And it-hollered-unto, a-Paulos, toward to-the-one to-a-Deity, unto-the-one unto-a-sabbath, of-coming-upon of-the-one of-authority-belonged-of, in unto-a-dayedness unto-which it-was-pending to-beastlet-battle-unto, the-one a-Paulos, and it-had-said, The-one a-Deity of-me, Anointed Iêsous, the-one having-en-loosed to-me out of-the-ones-which-the-ones-these of-wedge-wedged, thou-should-have-had-given off-in-ever-a-one of-an-Artemmula and of-a-Euboulê of-the-ones of-thine to-have-had-been-en-bursted to-the-ones to-bindeeings-to off of-the-ones of-hands of-me. And of-witnessing-through to-the-ones-these of-a-Paulos, it-had-came-into, a-child to-exceedingly goodly-seeinged in unto-a-granting, and it-loosed to-the-ones to-bindeeings-to of-a-Paulos; of-having-smile-belonged-unto of-the-one of-a-child, and unto-straight it-spaced-up-unto. Through then-also to-the-one to-a-beholding-unto to-the-one to-having-had-became unto-a-Paulos and to-the-one to-a-signlet-of to-the-one to-merited-in upon of-the-ones of-bindeeings-to it-had-flown-out, the-one a-throe of-it, the-one of-the-ones of-beastlet-battlings-unto, and excess-jump-belonging-unto it-leaped-unto as in unto-a-sending-through-beside.

APa 9:20 καὶ λα[βὼν τὴν Ἀρ]τεμύλλαν ἐξῄει τοῦ στ̣εν̣οῦ̣ κ[αὶ σκοτει]ν̣ο̣ῦ̣ [τόπου, ὅπου οἱ κ]εκλεισμένοι τηροῦνται. ὡς δ̣ὲ̣ [ἔξω ἐγενήθησαν λαθόντες τοὺς τ]ηρητὰς καὶ ἐν ἀσφαλείᾳ ἤ̣[δη ἦσαν, διεμαρτύρατο ὁ Παῦλο]ς̣ τὸν ἴδιον θεὸν λέγων· οἱ π̣[υλῶνες ... εὐλο]γειν τὴν σὴν οἰκο[νομίαν ... ἵν]α Ἀρτεμύλλα μυηθῇ̣ [τῆς ἐ]ν κυρίῳ σφραγῖδος· κ[αὶ τότε οἱ κεκλεισμένοι πυ]λῶνες ἐν [ὀνό]ματι θεοῦ ἀνεπετ[άσθησαν ...] οἱ δὲ φύλακ̣ε̣[ς βα]θεῖ ὕπνῳ κατη[νέχ]θ̣η̣σ̣α̣ν̣ κα[ὶ εὐθὺς δ]ὲ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ματ[ρώ]ν̣α καὶ ὁ μακάρ[ιος] Παῦλος ... σκότος ... καὶ νεανίσκ[ος ὅ]μοι[ο]ς [... σῶ]μ̣α̣ Παύ̣λ̣ου φαί̣ν̣[ων] οὐ λύχνῳ ἀ[λλὰ] ἀ̣πὸ̣ τῆς τοῦ σώ̣[ματος ἁγιω]σύ̣ν[η]ς̣ προῆγεν αὐτούς, ὥσ[τε ἐ]γγίσαι̣ [ἐ]π[ὶ] τὴ[ν θάλασσαν.

And having-had-taken to-the-one to-an-Artemulla it-was-going-out of-the-one of-narrowed and of-dimmeed-belonged-to of-an-occasion, of-whither the-ones having-had-come-to-be-latch-belonged they-be-kept-unto. As then-also out-unto-which they-were-became, having-had-secluded to-the-ones to-keepers, and in unto-an-un-befailing-of which-then they-were, it-witnessed-through, the-one a-Paulos, to-the-one to-private-belonged to-a-Deity forthing, The-ones gatings ... to-goodly-forthee-unto to-the-one to-thine to-a-house-parceleeing-unto ... so an-Artemulla it-might-have-been-flexed-of of-the-one in unto-Authority-belonged of-a-seal; and to-the-one-which-also the-ones having-had-come-to-be-latch-belonged-to gatings in unto-a-naming-to of-a-Deity they-were-flown-up ... the-ones then-also guarders unto-depthed unto-a-sleep they-were-beared-down, and straight then-also it-had-came-out, the-one an-en-mothering and the-one bless-belonged a-Paulos ... to-a-dimmeedness ... and a-new-belonging-of along-belonged ... to-an-en-capsuling-to of-a-Paulos manifesting, not unto-a-luminating-of, other off of-the-one of-the-one of-an-en-capsuling-to of-an-en-hallowed-belongingedness, it-was-leading-before to-them, as-also to-have-neared-to upon to-the-one to-a-sea.

APa 9:21 καὶ ἀπέ]ναντι εἱστήκει ὁ φαίνων ... καὶ [προσευξάμενος ὁ Παῦλο]ς ἐπέθηκεν τῇ Ἀρτεμύλλᾳ τὴν χε[ῖρα καὶ ... τὸ ὕ]δωρ ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ὥστε τὴν θ̣[άλασσαν σφόδρα κυμαί]νεσθαι καὶ φόβῳ μεγάλῳ συσχεθεῖσ̣α̣[ν τὴν Ἀρτεμύλλαν] μικ̣ρ̣ο̣ῦ δεῖν ἀπόπληκτον γενέσθαι ... καὶ εἶπεν· ὁ λάμπων καὶ φαίνω̣[ν βοήθει, ἵνα μὴ] εἴπ̣ω̣σι τ̣ὰ̣ ἔ̣θ̣ν̣η̣, ὅ̣τι ὁ δέσμιος Παῦλος ἔφυγεν ἀποκτείνας Ἀρτεμύλλαν. καὶ πάλιν μειδιάσαντος τοῦ νεανίσκου ἀνέπνευσεν ἡ ματρώνα καὶ ἐπορεύετο εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν φαίνοντος ἤδη τοῦ ὄρθρου. ὡς δὲ εἰσῆλθεν ἔσω τῶν φυλάκων κοιμωμένων, ἔκλασεν ἄρτον ὕδωρ τε προσήνεγκεν ἐπότισεν ῥήματι ἀπέλυσεν πρὸς Ἱερώνυμον τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐδεήθη.

And off-in-ever-a-one it-had-come-to-stand, the-one manifesting ... and having-goodly-held-toward, the-one a-Paulos, it-placed-upon unto-the-one unto-an-Artemulla to-the-one to-a-hand and ... to-the-one to-a-water in unto-a-naming-to of-an-Anointed of-an-Iêsous, as-also to-the-one to-a-sea to-vehemented to-have-been-swellened and unto-a-fearee unto-great to-having-been-poured-together to-the-one to-an-Artemulla of-small to-bind to-smitten-off to-have-had-became ... and it-had-said, The-one lamping and manifesting, thou-should-holler-run-unto so lest they-might-have-had said, the-ones placeedness-belongings-to, to-which-a-one the-one bindee-belonged a-Paulos it-had-fled having-killed-off to-an-Artemulla.
