Gospel of Thomas
(P.Oxy. 654.1-3; cf. Luke 1:1-2; 8:10; John 21:25)
GTh 0 οἱ τοῖοι οἱ λόγοι οἱ [ἀπόκρυφοι οὓς ἐλά]λησεν Ἰη(σοῦ)ς ὁ ζῶν κ[αὶ ἔγραψεν Ἰοῦδα ὁ] καὶ Θωμᾶ(ς).
The-ones the-ones-which-belonged the-ones forthees the-ones hidened-off to-which it-spoke-unto, an-Iêsous the-one lifing-unto, and it-scribed, an-Ioudas the-one and a-Thômas.
Note: The-ones the-ones-which-belonged the-ones : P.OXY 654 line 1 reads OITOI[O]ILOGOIO[I]. Some transcriptions offer OUTOI OI [OI] LOGOI OI. Some transcriptions offer OUTOIOI LOGOI OI, completely leaving out [O]I. There is no U in line 1 of the manuscript, so these transcriptions are assuming OITOI to be an error for OUTOI; however the text works as is,and the scribe reveals himself third removed paraphrasing a supposed text which he has not seen.
(P.Oxy. 654.3-5; Isa 25:8; Luke 9:27; John 8:51)
GTh 1 καὶ εἶπεν· [ὃς ἂν τὴν ἑρμηνεί]αν τῶν λόγων τούτ[ων εὕρῃ, θανάτου] οὐ μὴ γεύσηται.
