Excerpt from Texts, Documents, and Chiefly From Manuscripts in the Bodleian and Other Oxford Libraries, Vol. 12: Theological Texts From Coptic Papyri, Edited With an Appendix Upon the Arabic and Coptic Versions, of the Life of Pachomius

Little need be said regarding the manner of publication. Though all revised once, several (eg. No. 25) more Often, my Copies cannot claim finality. The dark colour of the papyrus in some cases, in others faded ink or a damaged surface, made certainty well nigh unattainable. I have preferred to abstain from many a seemingly obvious completion of lacunae, where reflection showed that such was not the sole restitution possible and the several alternatives would have overloaded the page unduly. The translations aim at literalness, so long as that remained intelligible.
