Incipit (Opening Line)

ܚܒ̈ܝܒܝ̣. ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܢܛܝܘܟܝܐ ܕܣܘܪܝܐ. ܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ. ܕܫܡܗܿ ܡܪܝܡ ܘܫܒ̈ܥܐ ܒܢ̈ܝܗܿ. ܒܝܘ̈ܡܝ ܐܢܛܝܟܘܣ ܚܢܦܐ ܘܪܫܝܥܐ. 1
Mes bien-aimés, il y avait à Antioche de Syrie une femme israélienne qui s’appelait Marie et avait sept fils, aux jours du païen et impie Antiochus. 1

Explicit (Closing Line)

ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܛܒ̈ܝܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܒ̈ܥܐ ܕܐܬܦܨܝܘ. ܫܘܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܗܘܢ. ܐܝܟ ܕܫܘܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܘܕܝܢܘܬܗܘܢ. ܐܠܐ ܡܗܡܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܢܬܟܪܙ ܫܪܪܗܘܢ. ܐܬܟܠܠܘ ܕܝܢ ܩܕ̈ܝܫܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܐܒ ܝܪܚܐ. ܕܒܝܕ ܨ̈ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܢܫܬܘܐ ܟܠܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘ̈ܬܦܐ ܐܡܝܢ. 1
Les trois n’étaient pas plus justes que les sept qui furent sauvés; leur justice fut digne comme leur confession fut digne; mais Dieu détourna les yeux de leurs actes pour que soit proclamée leur vérité. Et les saints furent couronnés le premier jour du mois d’Ab; que par leurs prières nous soyons tous jugés dignes de devenir leurs associés. Amen. 1
