Expositiones et Doctrinae diversae

Translators' notes (kt method, 2026-10-27), moved out of the running English. Each is keyed by chunk, column and band, and quotes the English words it follows. Plate verdicts: translate/dorotheus-doctrinae/verify/VERDICTS.tsv. Glossary: translate/dorotheus-doctrinae/GLOSSARY.md. In the English, ⟨…⟩ marks words we supply where the printed sentence needs them (whether the plate lost them or Migne's text never had them); each has a note below.

Chunk 0001 (dd-000)

• 1612B · …Isaiah, Barsanuphius, Dorotheus and Hesychius; not the Barsanuphius — T. Printed Βα-|σανούφιον; read Βαρσανούφιον, as two lines above.
• 1612B · …with the Acephali, and fellow-sworn-horned with those called — T. Printed λογομένους; read λεγομένους.
• 1613A · …trustworthy persons, both natives and Easterners. And because — T. Printed Καὶ τὰ τὸ, which does not construe; read Καὶ διὰ τὸ, which governs the infinitive συνίστασθαι. The Latin has Accedit his quod.
• 1613A · …with the holy Fathers, Antony, Ephrem and others; — T. ἐνδυτή is the altar-covering; the Latin has only in Magna ecclesia.
• 1613C · …and what follows upon so blessed a man, — T. τὰ μετὰ τὸν οὕτως μακάριον does not construe cleanly; rendered literally. The Latin (et rationem alterius ac verae vitae habere) paraphrases and does not settle it.
• 1613C · …procures zeal; and zeal, virtue; and virtue, blessedness. — S. Gregory (of Nazianzus?); not located.
• 1613C · …short time with God, he fulfilled long years; — S. Wis 4:13.
• 1613D · …saving and kindly yoke to be kindly indeed. — S. Matt 11:29–30.

Chunk 0002 (dd-001)

• 1617B · …made man according to the image of God, — S. Gen 1:27.
• 1620A · …all thy soul and with all thy mind." — S. Deut 6:5, as Dorotheus gives it (no "heart," no "strength").
• 1620A · …cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear." — S. Deut 6:13, 10:20 (LXX ὀμῇ, "shalt swear"); not strictly from the Decalogue, though he says so.
• 1620A · …above or that is on the earth beneath." — S. Ex 20:3–4.
• 1620A · …"We healed Babylon, and she was not healed"; — S. Jer 51:9 (LXX 28:9).
• 1620A · …the promises, we foretold the risings of enemies, — T. The foot of the plate leaked into the OCR as p0840.55 («προυμηνύταμεν.» ἀλλαχοῦν»): evidently Migne's notes, a variant προεμηνύσαμεν ("we forewarned") for προεσημηνήσαμεν, and ἀλλαχοῦ for line 51. Same sense either way; the English follows the text. Check the plate for the note keys (the ʃ after προεσημηνήσαμεν is probably one).
• 1621A · …And, "Lord, bow the heavens and come down," — S. Ps 143(144):5 (Dorotheus omits "thy").
• 1621A · …Gregory says, he might heal like by like: — S. Gregory of Nazianzus (the Theologian); the "like healed by like" principle, cf. Or. 38.13 and Ep. 101. Not located verbatim.
• 1621B · …diligently set upon evil things from his youth" — S. Gen 8:21 LXX, reading ἔγκειται (see OCR table).
• 1624A · …but I say, Do not even be angry." — S. Matt 5:21–22, 27–28, paraphrased.
• 1624A · …an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," — S. Ex 21:24; Matt 5:38–39.

Chunk 0003 (dd-002)

• 1628 · …she too answers, saying, "The serpent deceived me"; — S. Gen 3:13.
• 1628 · …be rid of wickedness and to acquire virtue." — S. Mark the Monk (Mark the Hermit); not located.
• 1628 · …virtues, and so returns to his own rest. — T. The sentence opens Οὖν διὰ τῆς συντριβῆς, which cannot stand: a word has gone before οὖν (Ἐὰν? Ὅταν?). Migne's Latin reads Igitur si per dolorem cordis. The English keeps the sense and marks the gap.
• 1628 · …"from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit," — S. 2 Cor 7:1.
• 1629A · …shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour," — S. Luke 18:18–20 (cf. Matt 19:16–18).
• 1629A · …what thou hast and give to the poor," — S. Matt 19:20–21.
• 1632 · …let that little tool do in us , — T. The Greek has only ἀφοῦμεν τὸ μικρὸν ἐργαλεῖον ἐκείνῳ ποιῆσαι ἐν ἡμῖν, "we let that little tool do in us," with no object. Migne's Latin has ut illud instrumentum fiat nobis loco centenarii, "that the tool take for us the place of a hundredweight of gold," i.e. the attachment once given to great wealth. That phrase is probably missing from the plate or the OCR.
• 1632B · …the symbols of our habit signify to us. — T. The text reads τὰ σύμβολα τοῦ σώματος ἡμῶν, "of our body." The foot of the page leaked into the OCR as p0846.55 «σχήματος.», evidently Migne's note giving σχήματος, "of our habit," which the Latin (habitus nostri) and the context support. The English follows the note.

Chunk 0004 (dd-003)

• 1633 · …it says, "Let your loins be girded about." — S. Luke 12:35.
• 1633 · …faith, as it says again in the Gerontikon, — S. The symbolism of belt, analavos and cowl that Dorotheus credits to the Gerontikon goes back to the prologue of Evagrius' Praktikos.
• 1636 · …cut gains a long stretch of that road, — T. κοπενδάριον (twice): Latin compendiarium, a short cut, spelled so as to echo κόπτειν, "to cut off," whether as a pun or as a real Byzantine form. Not reported as a misread. Migne's Latin reads scipione, "a staff," which misses the sense.
• 1637 · …him among all those saints, enjoying their blessedness. — S. The Life of Dositheus, which precedes the Instructions in the tradition.
• 1637B · …a prostration from there, and takes his leave, — T. λαμβάνει παράθεσιν, "takes his commendation," i.e. his leave. The Latin has a nobis impetrata venia. The phrase is uncertain but the OCR gives no sign of a misread.
• 1640 · …such a one is worthy to be saved. — T. Printed Τὶς ἄξιος … τὶς ἄξιος, with grave accents on what cannot be the interrogative here. Migne's Latin has hic … hic … dignus est, and the English follows that. Possibly ὁ τοιοῦτος or οὗτος is meant; not settled.
• 1640 · …we must enter into the kingdom of heaven, — S. Acts 14:22.

Chunk 0005 (dd-004)

• 1641A · …Everyone who strives is self-controlled in all things. — S. 1 Cor 9:25.
• 1641A · …By alms and faiths sins are purged away; — S. Prov 15:27a LXX.
• 1641C · …called adversary because he sets himself to hinder — T. Printed ἐμποδίσας; read ἐμποδίσαι, the infinitive that ἐπιχειρεῖ requires.
• 1644B · …add? "And they do not even touch it." — S. Apophthegmata, Antony 7.
• 1645A · …brother, thou art going to despise these too." — T. Printed ἔχει (third person); read ἔχεις, since the line is addressed to the brother (ἀδελφέ). The Latin reports it indirectly (fore ut hos quoque contemneret).
• 1645B · …as devout, as a man of good conduct, — T. Printed ὡς πολιτείας, which does not construe in the series; read as a word for a man of (good) conduct (πολιτευτής or the like). The Latin has ut civilis.
• 1645C · …and what the second; likewise we have said — T. Printed εἴπωμεν ("let us say"); read εἴπομεν, since the worldly and monastic prides have just been described. The Latin has Diximus … quae monastica, quae saecularis.
• 1645C · …humility of the saints. It comes about naturally — T. Printed φυσικῶν; read φυσικῶς. The Latin has naturalis.
• 1648B · …saw the Lord, called himself earth and ashes; — S. Gen 18:27.
• 1648B · …he answered, saying, Has God then remembered me? — S. Bel 33–38 (Dan 14:33–38); the second time in the pit is Dan 6.

Chunk 0006 (dd-005)

• 1648C · …am thin of voice and slow of tongue. — S. Exod 4:13, 10.
• 1649C · …is one thing, and that of men another." — S. Apophthegmata, Agathon 29.
• 1649C · …been able to grasp it in words, unless — T. Printed εἰ μήτε; read εἰ μήτι ("unless").
• 1649C · …humility. But humility itself is divine and incomprehensible. — S. Apophthegmata (anonymous collection), on humility.
• 1649D · …ever he is deemed worthy to accomplish anything, — T. Printed ἔτι δ᾿ ἂν; read εἴ τι δ᾿ ἂν, as at col. 1644 (Εἴ τι δ᾿ ἂν συμβῇ).
• 1652A · …through prayer he is humbled; and the more — T. Printed οἷον; read ὅσον, answering the following ὅσον. The Latin has quantoque … tanto magis.
• 1652A · …the more he is helped, and makes progress — T. Printed προκόπτοι (optative); read προκόπτει.
• 1652A · …of pleasure and to the self-rule of error; — S. Gregory of Nazianzus; not located.
• 1652C · …body, as the writer says, put out ticks, — T. Printed κρότον ("a noise"); read κρότωνας, "ticks," as in Palladius' account. The Latin has vermes scaturirent. S. Palladius, Lausiac History 38.
• 1653A · …it was by attending to this conscience that — T. Printed εἴαντες, not a word; read a participle of attending or yielding (εἴξαντες?). The Latin has Legi huic adhaerentes.
• 1653A · …when conscience tells us to do this thing, — T. Printed τόδε ἔτι; read τόδε τι. The Latin has Hoc facito.
• 1653C · …says: Ephraim overpowered his adversary, and trampled judgment. — S. Hos 5:11.
• 1653C · …well-disposed to thine adversary while thou art in — T. Printed ἐκ; read ἐν, as in the full quotation above.

Chunk 0007 (dd-006)

• 1653D · …that?" one contracts an evil and bitter canker, — T. νομή here and at col. 1656 ("it is a canker") is the spreading sore, not "pasture"; the Latin has ulcus depascens at the second place.
• 1656A · …while thou art in the way with him." — S. Mt 5:25.
• 1656B · …thence until thou hast paid the last farthing." — S. Mt 5:25–26.
• 1656C · …not hold himself tight, but assented. He saw — T. Printed Οἶδεν "he knows"; read Εἶδεν "he saw", with the Latin vidit and the aorists either side.
• 1656C · …there is a gesture too, as I always — T. Printed δεὶ, which is not a word here; read ἀεί "always" (Latin saepe).
• 1656D · …spoiled or thrown away; but if he sees — T. Printed ἤδη "already"; read ἴδῃ "he sees", with the Latin cum viderit. The same spelling recurs at col. 1673.
• 1657A · …patchwork blanket, and he looks for a rug, — T. κεντώνιον = patchwork blanket (cento). λονάτον is unknown to me; "rug" follows the Latin tapetem.
• 1657C · …the Catholic Epistles, "Perfect love casts out fear." — S. 1 Jn 4:18.
• 1660A · …there are three dispositions, as Saint Gregory says, — S. The triad of slave, hireling and son is in almost these words in Basil, Longer Rules, prologue; cf. Gregory Nazianzen, Or. 40.13. Dorotheus names Gregory.
• 1660B · …son, and an heir of God through Christ." — S. Gal 4:7.
• 1660B · …Saint Antony says: "I no longer fear God." — S. Gerontikon, Antony 32.
• 1660D · …"Beginning and end is the fear of God." — S. Not located in this form.
• 1661A · …from all evil, as tinning guards a vessel. — T. γάνωσις is the tinning of copper vessels against corrosion; "a vessel" is supplied for the sense. The Latin is garbled here.
• 1661A · …the good through hope, like the hireling, abiding — T. Printed χερονίζων, not a word; read χρονίζων "spending time, abiding", with the Latin diutius… commoratur.
• 1661B · …will teach you the fear of the Lord." — S. Ps 33:12 LXX (34:11); the quotations that follow are vv. 13–15.

Chunk 0008 (dd-007)

• 1664C · …runs in pursuit, that he may overtake it, — T. Printed τελείας, which does not construe; read ἵνα "that", with the run of ἵνα clauses that follows and the Latin ut illam apprehendat.
• 1664C · …for they shall be called sons of God." — S. Mt 5:9.
• 1664D · …passed the night, and from not being bold, — T. παρρησία, παρρησιάζεσθαι: the forward, over-familiar freedom of manner that Dorotheus treats here as a passion. Rendered "boldness, be bold" throughout, as of the Prophet's boldness in IV.3.
• 1665A · …and it ruins the fruit of the trees. — S. Gerontikon, Agathon 1.
• 1665A · …power of the passion? Seest thou its onrush? — T. Printed ὀργήν "anger"; read ὁρμήν "onrush", with the Latin quantus impetus.
• 1665C · …he said, "Make the sons of Israel reverent." — S. Lev 15:31.
• 1668A · …heads, nor ⟨to stare⟩ into one another's faces. — T. The second member has no verb; "to stare" is supplied from the Latin ne vultus nostros crebro contemplemur. The Latin also has a third item (ne vagemur oculis), so a phrase may be lost at the column break.
• 1669B · …me; and he spoke thus: "Says he, once": — T. Φησὶν ἅπαξ, the elder's stock opening, literally "he says, once"; the Latin omits it.
• 1669C · …burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." — S. Gal 6:2.

Chunk 0009 (dd-008)

• 1669 · …10. — T. Printed Γʹ (3); read Ιʹ (10): it follows Θʹ (9) and precedes ΙΑʹ (11), and the Latin has X.
• 1672A · …simplicity, God knows from what, spent a year — T. χρόνον, in later Greek "a year"; the Latin (observato noctis tempore) takes it loosely.
• 1672B · …as with the melon, if a little splinter — T. βιζάκιον, a rare diminutive; "splinter" is a guess from the sense (Latin vasculum).
• 1672C · …to be, small or great, let him ⟨not⟩ — T. The Greek has no negative, and the Latin follows it (ita eam permittat et negligat), but what follows ("for indifference is a bad thing. Nor again…") requires one; ⟨not⟩ is supplied.
• 1672D · …of it, is three and a half eighths. — T. τὸ ἥμισυ τέταρτον τοῦ ὀγδόου, literally "the half-fourth of the eighth". In the Greek idiom a "fourth half" is three and a half (as τέταρτον ἡμιτάλαντον, 3½ talents), so it is three and a half eighths against the work's one. Latin quartum dimidium octavi. Rendered so throughout.
• 1673A · …one does not do his service ⟨with⟩ knowledge. — T. οὐ ποιεῖ γνῶσιν τὴν ἰδίαν διακονίαν does not construe; ⟨with⟩ (κατὰ or μετὰ) is supplied, with the Latin in cognitione vera non administrare.
• 1673B · …you be indifferent and throw things away straightaway, — T. Printed ἀφρῇ; read ἀφαρεί "straightaway" (spelled ἀφαρῆ at col. 1656), Latin statim.
• 1673C · …is stronger than humility. But if one sees — T. Printed ἤδη; read ἴδῃ "sees", Latin si quis viderit, as at col. 1656.
• 1673C · …you wish, but as it meets the necessity, — T. The sentence is troubled. ἀπαντῶ ("I meet") is read as ἀπαντᾷ "it meets", and the comparative ⟨than⟩ (ἤ) is supplied before "to trouble"; the Latin (melius… quam turbari vos) has the comparison.
• 1673D · …that from the neighbour come life and death. — S. Gerontikon, Antony 9.
• 1676C · …evil as to suggest to him straight off — T. Printed οὕτως ἀφαιρῇ τις, which does not construe; conjectured οὕτως ἀφελῶς τι "so crudely, any one", with the Latin statim… quidpiam malorum.
• 1676D · …wicked one does evil when he mingles self-justification." — S. Prov 11:15 LXX, where the received text has δικαίῳ "with a righteous man"; Dorotheus reads δικαίωμα.
• 1676D · …one is the devil; and he does evil — T. Printed κακοποιῆσαι (infinitive); read κακοποιεῖ.
• 1677A · …is a bronze wall between man and God. — S. Gerontikon, Poemen.
• 1677B · …will, the man is not easily brought round." — T. Printed εὐσυστροφῇ, not a form I can construe; the sense is taken from the Latin non bene convertitur.
• 1677C · …he mingles self-justification." "And he hates the sound — T. Printed εἶχον "I had"; read ἦχον "sound", as in Prov 11:15 LXX and the Latin sonum.
• 1677C · …is already being found out through the asking — T. Printed διὰ αὐτοῦ; read διὰ τοῦ (articular infinitive), Latin ex eo quod… interrogant.
• 1677D · …side, and in him is fulfilled, "Salvation is — T. Printed Ὑπάρχεται; read ὑπάρχει, as the verse is quoted elsewhere in this Instruction.

Chunk 0010 (dd-009)

• 1680A · …whenever he sees me, spins like a top." — T: printed ἀνέθη; read ἀνέμη, "reel, spinning top" (the plate check's blind read), with the Latin uti turbinem. S: Apophthegmata, Macarius the Egyptian 3 (Theopemptus).
• 1680A · …a hand. For did not that demon go — T: printed ἀπῆλθεν τῷ Θεῷ, which does not construe; the line end is damaged and the Latin has nothing for it. Left untranslated.
• 1680C · …him again, "How is that brother, thy friend?" — T: printed ἐκεῖνο; read ἐκεῖνος, agreeing with ὁ ἀδελφός.
• 1680D · …why the enemy hates the sound of safety: — T: printed τὸν ἔχοντα τῆς ἀσφαλείας ("the one having of safety"); read τὸν ἦχον, with the Latin cautelae sonum.
• 1681D · …in the habit of a bishop, wearing , — T: printed φοροῦντα ὡς μυῖνον; μυῖνον is not a word. The Latin has him "carrying sacred things in his hands" (sacra manibus ferre).
• 1684D · …speaks, I the Lord have deceived that prophet. — S: Ezek 14:9.
• 1685A · …is one thing, and that of men another." — S: Apophthegmata, Agathon (his answer on fear at the hour of death).

Chunk 0011 (dd-010)

• 1688A · …cast out the mote from thy brother's eye. — S: Matt 7:5.
• 1688D · …be comforted from that mourning until he died. — S: cf. Apophthegmata, Isaac of Thebes 1.
• 1689B · …What, can anyone give an account of this? — T: printed Τί; ("What?"), rendered as printed. The Latin reads Quis potest, i.e. Τίς; see the table.
• 1689D · …even if it happens that he turns away, — T: printed ἀπυστραφῆναι, not a word; read ἀποστραφῆναι.
• 1692A · …mercy on him: and dost thou know it? — T: printed καὶ σὺ γινώσκεις αὐτό, rendered as an indignant question. The Latin has et ignovit ("and forgave"), which may point to a different text.
• 1692A · …Sometimes we not only condemn but also despise. — T: printed Ἔσθ᾿ ὅτε μόνον ὅτι οὐ κατακρίνομεν, ἀλλὰ καί; the negative is misplaced. Read οὐ μόνον ὅτι.
• 1692B · …but always their own, and they make progress. — T: printed προσκόπτουσιν ("they stumble"), which contradicts the sentence. Read προκόπτουσιν.
• 1693C · …shamed them, and cried out to them too, — T: printed ἐδόησε, not a word; read ἐβόησε (the OCR's β). ἐβοήθησε ("helped them too") is also possible.
• 1693C · …compassion of the elder worked in his soul. — S: Apophthegmata, Ammonas 10.

Chunk 0012 (dd-011)

• 1696A · …and members of one another? Those who govern — T: printed διηκονιῶντες, not a word; read διοικοῦντες, answered below by "Art thou the head? Govern" (διοίκησον). Latin administrant.
• 1696B · …of the circle, as far as the centre, — T: ἕως τοῦ κέντρου does not construe after τὸ μεσώτατον τοῦ κύκλου; rendered literally. The Latin passes over the sentence.
• 1697C · …as fine dogs take what comes from men?" — T: the sense of ὡς παρ᾿ ἀνθρώπων ὡραῖοι κύνες is uncertain. The Latin takes it as "I bear them as fawning dogs bear things from men" (ut ab hominibus blandi canes).
• 1697D · …of life but does ⟨not⟩ keep this way, — T: no negative is printed with κρατήσει, but the conclusion (he never ceases to afflict and be afflicted) requires one; supplied. The Latin has "turns aside from this way".
• 1700A · …who accuses himself, as abba Poemen also said? — S: Apophthegmata, Poemen (his sayings on accusing oneself).
• 1700C · …lovely on the outside, but inside something ; — T: printed λαμπούθιόν τι, which I cannot identify; the contrast with ὡραῖον wants something like "rotten" or "foul". Left untranslated.
• 1701A · …one else, in what befalls us to blame, — T: printed αἰ-|τίθεσθαι (no word); read αἰτιᾶσθαι, or αἰτίους τίθεσθαι, both "to hold to blame". Latin accusemus.

Chunk 0013 (dd-012)

• 1701 · …ate the manna in the desert forty years. — S: Exod 16:35; the manna suiting each one's taste, cf. Wis 16:20–21.
• 1701B · …if someone is in truth worthy of relief, — T: the plate as transcribed prints καρδίᾳ σαρωθῆναι here ("to be swept by the heart"), which does not construe; the Latin passes over it. English leaves [?]. A conjecture to test against the plate and other witnesses: καρδίαν Σαρακηνοῦ ("even a Saracen's heart"), which would give "God moves even a Saracen's heart to show him mercy".
• 1701C · …God, being merciful, supplies each one his need. — T: this sentence anticipates the next almost word for word (a possible dittography); the Latin renders both, so the English follows the print.
• 1704A · …assurance." And the younger said, "Forgive, sir; perhaps — T: printed ταχέως ("quickly"), which gives no sense here; read τάχα, "perhaps".
• 1704C · …the ones before these, should have done likewise: — T: printed ἤδη ("already"); read ἔδει, "should have" (Latin faciendum fuit).
• 1705A · …he says, "That a man should blame himself." — S: Apophthegmata, Poemen.
• 1705A · …and to expect temptation to his last breath. — S: Apophthegmata, Antony 4.
• 1705C · …for the Lord told him to curse David"? — S: 2 Kgdms (2 Sam) 16:10.
• 1705D · …return good to me instead of his curse." — S: 2 Kgdms (2 Sam) 16:12; then 16:10–11.

Chunk 0014 (dd-013)

• 1708C · …but against rancour he did not yet struggle; — T: printed οὔτω (or οὕτω, "thus"); read οὔπω, "not yet", as the same clause prints it at col. 1713 (p0893.09) and as the Latin has nondum.
• 1708D · …destroyed by prayer and hope, it breaks it." — S: Mark the Monk (Mark the Hermit); not located further here.
• 1709A · …blood about the heart, as saint Basil says. — S: Basil, Homily against the angry (Hom. 10), the definition of anger as the boiling of the blood about the heart.
• 1709B · …"Where there is no anger, strife is quiet." — S: Prov 26:20 LXX.
• 1709D · …may I then fall empty before my enemies." — S: Ps 7:5 LXX. T: printed ἀποπέσῃ μοι, here and in the question that follows; read ἀποπέσοιμι ("may I fall"), the LXX form, which Dorotheus' gloss on the man who falls requires (Latin decidam).
• 1712A · …empty is ⟨to have⟩ no good at all, — T: the infinitive is missing (τὸ μηδέποτε ἀγαθὸν); ⟨to have⟩ supplied, perhaps τὸ μηδὲν ἔχειν ἀγαθόν; Latin neque ullum bonum in se habere.
• 1712A · …enemy then pursue my soul and overtake it": — S: Ps 7:6 LXX, continued through the next sentences.
• 1713C · …is the scar, from which the whole wound — T: printed τραῦμα σῶμα, two nouns side by side; σῶμα not translated (Latin totum vulnus).
• 1713D · …unless you work at these things, ⟨you cannot⟩ — T: the main verb is missing from ἐὰν μὴ ἐργάσησθε λόγῳ ταῦτα παραλαβεῖν; ⟨you cannot⟩ supplied by sense and the next sentence (Latin ut opere magis parentur quam oratione).

Chunk 0015 (dd-014)

• 1716B · …written that lying is of the evil one; — S: cf. Matt 5:37 (ἐκ τοῦ πονηροῦ).
• 1716B · …from what we separate ourselves, and to whom — T: printed τίνι τρόπῳ, "in what way"; the answer "to the evil one" wants τίνι alone, "to whom" (Latin cuive adhaereamus).
• 1716D · …is from the evil one; for he began — T: printed ἤρξατε ("you began"); read ἤρξατο, of the suspicious man.
• 1716D · …then can a bad tree bear good fruit? — S: Matt 7:18.
• 1717B · …it right? One cannot learn a man's state — T: printed κατάττασίν; read κατάστασιν, as at p0905.06 and p0905.14 (Latin statum).
• 1721A · …a matter, and unless one conceals a little, — T: printed πικρὸν ("something bitter"); read μικρόν, "a little" (Latin dissimulat parumper).

• 1721B · …taken often they harm, but if one takes — T: printed λάθῃ ("escapes notice"); read λάβῃ, "takes".

Chunk 0016 (dd-015)

• 1724C · …himself, "Arsenius, for what didst thou come out?" — T: printed διὸ ("therefore"), which does not construe with the question; read δι᾿ ὃ, "for what", the form of the saying (Latin ad quid venisti). S: Apophthegmata, Arsenius.

• 1725A · …when the sophist dismissed us, I would wash — T: printed ἐλεώμην ("I was pitied"), which makes no sense with the parenthesis that follows; read ἐλουόμην, "I washed" (Latin lavabar).

• 1725D · …the left, but travel by the royal road. — S: Prov 4:27 with Num 20:17 / 21:22 ("royal road").

• 1729A · …some who undo even more than they achieved. — T: printed Εἰ δέ τινες καὶ πλεῖον οὐ κατώρθωσαν ἀναλύουσιν, which does not construe; read Εἰσὶ δέ τινες ⟨οἳ⟩ καὶ πλεῖον οὗ κατώρθωσαν ἀναλύουσιν (Latin Sunt et alii qui plus dissolvunt quam moliti sint).
• 1729B · …they too fell from their own aim. ⟨5.⟩ — T: the Greek prints no section number here, passing from Δʹ to Ϛʹ; the Latin column begins its section V at this point, so ⟨5⟩ is supplied.
• 1729B · …the city indeed but could not get inside. — T: the final clause stands without a connective in the Greek and contradicts the one before it; ⟨or⟩ supplied with the Latin (an si ad civitatem usque perductus, non est admissus). Migne's own bracketed [καὶ] is left untranslated.

Chunk 0017 (dd-016)

Chunk 0018 (dd-017)

• 1737D · …it is interpreted, from Babel, which is Sychem. — T: printed Συχέμ, and the Latin has Sichem too, so the sense is kept as printed. Elsewhere "Babel" is glossed "confusion" (Gen 11:9), and Sychem fits poorly. Kept, and flagged.
• 1740C · …against him? Was the food not well cooked, — T: printed μὴ, τὸ ἔψη τὸ καλῶς, which does not construe; rendered from the sense and the Latin (quod cibaria non bene decoxisset). The Greek wording is uncertain.
• 1741A · …which I heard about a great clear-sighted elder: — T: printed Διορατικοῦ with a capital, as a name, and the Latin also takes it as a name (Dioratico). The word means "clear-sighted", and it is rendered so.

• 1741A · …were about to be dismissed, he saw him — T: printed ἔβλεπον, which is first singular or third plural; the subject is the elder, so read ἔβλεπεν.
• 1744A · …still being stolen upon by little fevers), undone, — T: the band letter A stands at the head of the line as plain text, untagged in the scaffold; placed here.
• 1744A · …"Very good, sir. May God remember thy charity — T: printed μνησθείη ἡ ἀγάπη ὁ Θεὸς, two nominatives; read μνησθείη τῆς ἀγάπης ⟨σου⟩ ὁ Θεός (Latin charitatis tuae memor sit).
• 1744C · …in jest, to lay their thoughts before me. — T: printed ἐχλευάζοντο, "were mocked / jested"; the Latin also has per jocum. The sense is uncertain, and the rendering is tentative.
• 1745A · …Forgive me: he gives me whatever I want. — T: the band letter A stands beside the first line of col. 1745 on the plate (checked 2026-10-27); our transcription had dropped it.
• 1745A · …that that brother was stealing morsels of bread, — T: βουκκία, i.e. buccellae, morsels of bread; the Latin has fabas, "beans".
• 1745B · …he has become the slave of the passion. — S: Apophthegmata, Nisterus (alphabetical collection); locus not checked here.
• 1748A · …or one of such things once or twice — T: printed οἱ, which leaves the sentence without its negative and contradicts the ἀλλ᾿ ἐάν that follows; read οὐ (Latin Non igitur quod quis … semel atque iterum comedat).

Chunk 0019 (dd-018)

• 1748B · …bad habit, prevails over the ten good ones. — T. The sentence breaks off after "one passion" (ἓν πάθος) and starts again with "if a man has ten good works". The Latin reads a full clause here (vitium omne in habitum conversum gehennae subjectum est), so something may be lost. Translated as printed.
• 1752C · …of in various places and in various ways, — T. Printed ἄλλην ἄλλως; read ἄλλῃ ἄλλως, "in various places, in various ways" (Latin pluribus in locis).
• 1753A · …as not to see the glory of God, — T. Printed ἐπαινοῦντες, "praising", which leaves the clause without a verb and gives the wrong sense; read ἐπῃνοῦντο, "were praised", in parallel with ἐδοξάζοντο (Latin gloria … donarentur).
• 1753C · …shall have an even worse end for ourselves. — T. Printed κάκην ("cowardice"), which does not construe; read κακὴν, "a worse end" (Latin pejora erunt novissima nostra).

• 1756 · …the strength of nature." So one must struggle, — T. Printed Λέγει οὖν τις, "so one says", which does not fit; read Θέλει οὖν τις, "so one must", Dorotheus' usual form and the one used again a few lines on (Θέλει οὖν τις οὐ μόνον ἐκκόψαι).
• 1756C · …to say: For this reason I forgo pleasures, — T. Printed ἐπέρω, which is no known form. The sense needed is "I cut off / I forgo" (Latin tollo a me); the word is translated from the sense and the reading left open.
• 1757A · …the psalm: Turn from evil and do good. — S. Ps 33:15 (LXX).
• 1757C · …Be merciful, as your heavenly Father is merciful. — S. Luke 6:36.

• 1761A · …he who wills ⟨to be saved⟩ in truth — T. The Greek prints only ὁ θέλων μετὰ ἀληθείας, "he who wills in truth"; the Latin (qui vere salvari optat) and the sense of the whole Instruction supply "to be saved".
• 1761C · …us, with humility and with hope in God, — T. Printed τῆς μετὰ Θεὸν ἐλπίδος, "the hope after God"; translated "hope in God" with the Latin (spe in Deum).

Chunk 0021 (dd-020)

• 1764B · …not overlook even the slightest affliction of ours. — T. Printed ψυχοῦσαν, which gives no sense here; read τυχοῦσαν, "the slightest, any chance" affliction.
• 1764C · …them, ⟨they stoop⟩ under it until it passes, — T. The clause has no verb. "They stoop" is supplied from the same image below (ὑποκύψωσι τῷ κύματι, "as I said") and from the Latin (incurvati illis sese subjiciunt).
• 1765A · …begin, but want to acquire virtue without toil. — T. Printed ἀρχὴν, "a beginning"; read ἀρετὴν, "virtue", with the Latin (sine labore parare virtutem).

• 1768A · …of Nebuchadnezzar, for his life is your salvation. — S. Bar 1:11–12; compare Jer 29 (LXX 36):7. T. Printed ὑπὸ τῆς ζωῆς; read ὑπὲρ, as the same phrase prints in section 7.
• 1768B · …unjust. As that brother said, grieving and weeping — T. Printed κλέων; read κλαίων, "weeping" (Latin flens).
• 1768C · …this, that he give me patience." 7. See: — T. Printed Εἶδον, "I saw"; read as the imperative ἴδε / ἰδού, "see" (Latin Ecce).

• 1769A · …they may be destroyed for ever and ever. — S. Ps 91:8 (LXX).
• 1769A · …who struggles, then they are destroyed by him. — T. Printed τοῖς λεγομένοις, "to the things said", which does not fit, and the singular ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ follows. Read τῷ ἀγωνιζομένῳ, "to the one who struggles"; compare the next section, "All this belongs to those who struggle", and the Latin ante concertatores et athletas.
• 1769B · …are always bent down, looking at the ground. — T. Printed κεκαυμένοι, "burned"; read κεκυφότες, "bent down", which goes with "looking at the ground" (Latin solo fixos oculos). Uncertain.

• 1772B · …springs of water, first ⟨led⟩ them to Marah, — T. No verb with "first … them to Marah"; "led" is supplied (Latin traxit).

• 1776B · …it is impossible to be saved without humility. — S. The alphabetical Apophthegmata give the saying to Amma Syncletica.
• 1776C · …your children do not fall from the housetop. — S. Deut 22:8, very loosely; the children are Dorotheus' own, and he reads them below.
• 1776C · …God, the more he sees himself a sinner. — T. Printed ὅτε ἐγγίζει τις… τοσοῦτον: ὅτε ("when") cannot answer τοσοῦτον; read ὅσον ("the nearer… the more"). Latin quo quisque magis… eo.
• 1776D · …the house, which we said is the perfection; — T. Printed ἰδοὺ ὁ οἶκος ὅνπερ εἴπομεν εἶναι τὴν τελείωσιν. The relative should belong to the roof, which was called "the perfection of the virtues" above (so the Latin, hanc dicimus perfectionem esse), but it is masculine and agrees with οἶκος. Translated as printed.
• 1777B · …But to measure oneself with knowledge is this: — T. Migne prints Τὸ δὲ [μὴ] μετρεῖν. The bracketed μή is set aside: the sense (and the Latin, metiri se ipsum cognitione) needs the positive.
• 1777B · …art no man, why comest thou among men?" — S. Apophthegmata, Moses 3 (spoken to himself when the clergy drove him out to test him).

• 1777D · …nothing quenches such passions so well as mercy. — S. Evagrius, Praktikos 91.

Chunk 0023 (dd-022)

• 1780C · …is not possible, nor does God require it. — T. Printed οὔτε ἀπαιτῆσαι ὁ Θεὸς τοῦτο, an infinitive with nothing to govern it; read ἀπαιτεῖ. Latin neque talia Deus abs te requirit.
• 1780D · …by tending thy brother with a word, by — T. Printed διὰ τοῦτο συμπάσχειν; read διὰ τοῦ συμπάσχειν, parallel to διὰ τοῦ θεραπεύειν just before. Latin dum compateris illi.
• 1780D · …by suffering with him, and if he needs — T. Printed χρήσῃ; read χρῄζῃ, "needs". Latin cum re ulla ei opus fuerit.
• 1780D · …him; and so, climbing one rung, thou reachest, — T. Printed φθάνει (third person); read φθάνεις with the surrounding second person. Latin pervenies.

• 1784A · …her as a poor orphan, a beautiful one. — T. Printed δόξαντος αὐτοῦ, ὡς ὀρφανὴν πτωχὴν εὔμορφον. The clause does not construe cleanly; perhaps a word is lost. The point is plain: the charity looks like care for an orphan, but the motive is her beauty (Latin exterius autem… ut ejus pulchritudine delectetur).
• 1784C · …by it. But these all have their reward; — S. Matt 6:2.
• 1785A · …ought to do good, as saint Gregory says; — T. The Greek names Gregory; Migne's Latin has ex Basilii sententia. Both Fathers set out the triad of slave, hireling and son (Basil, Regulae fusius tractatae, prooemium; Gregory Nazianzen, Or. 40.13). The English follows the Greek.
• 1785C · …through service. Canst thou not even do this? — T. Printed οὐδὲ τούτῳ; read τοῦτο, the object of δύνασαι.
• 1785C · …comfort thy brother with a word. Have mercy — T. Printed Ἐλοῦ, which does not fit ("choose" / "take"); read ἐλέει, "have mercy". Latin Miserere igitur illius per verbum, and the whole passage is about ἐλεεῖν.
• 1785C · …and instead of saying one word to him — T. Printed εἰπεῖν αὐτὸν; read αὐτῷ: the brother is the one spoken to. Latin illi respondere.

Chunk 0024 (dd-023)

• 1788C · …Forty Days which our Lord fasted. For eight — T. Printed Αἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἑβδομάδες. Seven weeks less Saturdays and Sundays make thirty-five, as the next sentence says; forty needs eight. Read ὀκτώ. Latin Octo enim hebdomadas.
• 1789A · …the whole year, which the holy apostles hallowed — T. Printed ὑγείασαν ("made healthy"); read ἡγίασαν, as at the start of the section. Latin consecrarunt.

• 1789B · …but wants what he eats to be pleasant. — T. Printed ἀλλὰ θέλει ἂν ἡδέα: the ἄν does not construe. Translated for the evident sense.
• 1792C · …and treasuring up for themselves, and after sealing — T. Printed σφαγίσαι ("slaughter"); read σφραγίσαι, "seal", as four lines earlier.
• 1793A · …fasting, as saint Basil says, an acceptable fast, — S. "Acceptable fast" echoes Isa 58:5; the reference to Basil is not located more exactly (his homilies De jejunio make the point that the true fast is abstinence from evil).
• 1793A · …colt so that, as the Word of God, — T. Printed ὡς λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ; read ὡς Λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ. The Word restores the soul that had become ἄλογος, "without reason". The Latin (converteret ad rationem Dei) takes it as the goal of the turning instead.
• 1793A · …prophet, and been made like the senseless beasts, — S. Ps 48:13, 21 (LXX).
• 1793D · …he can go back to his cell unharmed; — T. Printed ἀνακάμψει (future indicative) after εἰ δύναται; read ἀνακάμψαι.

• 1797A · …own state. For each is harmed or helped — T. Printed βλάπτεται, οὐκ ὠφελεῖται, "is harmed, not helped"; read βλάπτεται ἢ ὠφελεῖται, with Latin vel laeditur, vel juvatur and the following "be both helped and harmed by every thing."
• 1797A · …one harms anyone. But if we are harmed, — T. Printed καταβλαβῶμεν; read καὶ βλαβῶμεν. The English is the same either way.
• 1797D · …you an example, so that you may understand. — T. Printed ποιήσητε, "that you may do"; read νοήσητε, "understand," cf. ἵνα μάθητε at the first example (p0951.11). Low confidence.
• 1797D · …"He who looks gently will be shown mercy." — S, T. Prov 12:13a LXX, ὁ βλέπων λεῖα ἐλεηθήσεται. Printed λίαν, "very much"; read λεῖα, "gently," with the LXX and Latin leniter.
• 1800A · …own good state he was helped by each. — T. The plate prints ὠφελεῖ τὸ, with Migne's note mark 40; read ὠφελεῖτο, "he was helped," the blind read; Latin utilitatem traxit. Migne's note 40 is not in the scaffold and may bear on this spot.
• 1801B · …with good, and not good with evil. 2. — T. Printed Ϛʹ; read Βʹ. The next section is Γʹ (p0954.02), and the Latin numbers this one II.

• 1801C · …my blood, when I go down to corruption?' — S, T. Ps 29:10 LXX. Printed διαφοράν, "difference"; read διαφθοράν, "corruption," with the LXX and Latin corruptionem.
• 1801C · …to corruption?' and, 'Amen I say to you, — T. Printed ἡμῖν, "to us"; read ὑμῖν, with Matt 25:12, the following ὑμᾶς and ὑμῶν, and Latin vobis.

• 1805A · …to achieve this if thou dost not treat — T. Printed οἰκῇς, "dwell," which does not construe with ὡς ἴδια; read οἰκειοῖς, "treat as thine own." Latin has no equivalent clause. Low confidence.
• 1805D · …or not, then make a prostration with lowliness, — T. Printed τοπεινώσεως, a non-word; read ταπεινώσεως, as two lines below.
• 1805D · …lowliness, saying, "Forgive me, and pray for me." — T. Printed εὖξαι μένοι, a non-word; read εὖξαι ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ, the formula as printed at p0955.41; Latin ut pro te supplicet.
• 1808A · …by some passionate thought, and acts it out, — T. Printed ἐξαγορεύῃ, "confesses it," which inverts the teaching (confessing a thought weakens it) and the contrast with ἐνεργήσῃ τὰ ἐναντιούμενα in the next sentence; read a verb of acting, e.g. ἐνεργῇ, with Latin ad actum perducit. The sense is secure, the word is a guess.
• 1808C · …but the great thing is not to judge, — T. The second μὴ κρῖναι repeats the first; the Latin has non irasci here. Translated as printed.
• 1809A · …love to thy neighbour, and give him rest, — T. Printed ἀναπαύει (indicative); read ἀνάπαυε (imperative), paired with δεῖξον.

• 1812D · …to be made perfect for every good work. — S. Cf. Heb 13:21; 2 Tim 3:17.
• 1812D · …be made perfect for every good work. Question — T: the plate prints ΕΡΩΤΗΣΙΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΠΟΚΡΙΣΙΣ as a centred heading across both columns (checked 2026-10-27); our transcription had lost ΕΡΩΤΗΣΙΣ.

Chunk 0027 (dd-026)

• 1813B · …gathered they beget godly grief in the heart, — S. 2 Cor 7:10.
• 1813B · …is freed, then with confidence and much boldness — T. παρρησία here in its good sense, the freed debtor's freedom of bearing, against the vice in Questions 1 and 4; the glossary keeps "boldness" for both.
• 1813C · …reproaches our Master Christ endured before the cross, — T. Printed πρὸς τοῦ σταυροῦ; read πρὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ, "before the cross," answering "and after these he came to the cross."

• 1816B · …its heat those things vanish. And one acquires — T. Printed κτᾶσαι (second person) with τις; read κτᾶται, with Latin possidet quis.
• 1816C · …is contrition of heart? And if one acquires — T. Printed κτᾶσαι again with τις; read κτᾶται, as at p0960.23.
• 1817B · …in the matter, should I consent, or not, — T. Printed εἰ μὴ φέρει, "if it does not bring"; read ἢ μή; φέρει, "or not, since it brings," with Latin aut non ... honorem. Low confidence.
• 1817C · …commandment? Answer. Brother, he who wishes to be — T. ὁ θέλων εἶναι has no complement, and the Latin (volens esse) has none either; the gap is left marked.
• 1820C · …into sickness; for it brings the soul out. — T. Greek and Latin (ejicit enim animam) agree; the sense is obscure, and the phrase is rendered literally.
• 1821A · …than that. And to make thy morsel stretch — T. Printed ἀπεκτεῖναι, a non-word; read ἐπεκτεῖναι, "make stretch," which answers the question about measuring the bread over the relishes. Latin has intingere, "dip."

Chunk 0028 (dd-027)

• 1821 · …you may not drift off after the tune, — T. Printed ἵνα μὴ ἀπομετεωρίζεσθαι, an infinitive after ἵνα; read ἀπομετεωρίζησθε (Latin ut non sitis … intenti). The Latin's tantum may point to a lost μόνον ("only after the tune"); not supplied.
• 1821 · …of resurrection: let us offer ourselves as fruit. — S. Gregory Nazianzen, Oration* 1.1–3 (on Pascha).
• 1824A · …might take away the sin of the world; — S. John 1:29.
• 1824A · …bring him something pleasing as our gift. 2. — T. The plate numbers this section Δʹ; it is the second (Γʹ and Δʹ follow), and the Latin numbers it II. Read Βʹ.
• 1824B · …led away for sacrifice is sacrificed at once — T. Printed ἐνιαυτῷ ("in a year"), which gives no sense against the contrast with the saints' daily sacrifice; the Latin has illico, "at once". Rendered by the Latin's sense; the Greek word is uncertain.
• 1825C · …so to speak, appropriated him . — T. Printed Προσῳκειώσαμεν … ἰδιοποιήσαμεν, "we made man our own … we appropriated him", which does not fit the argument that God made man his own (οἰκειότατον just above). Read third singular, προσῳκειώσατο … ἰδιοποιήσατο. The Latin (recte diximus …) paraphrases and does not settle it.
• 1825C · …the image what is according to the image. — S. Gregory Nazianzen, Oration* 1.4.
• 1825C · …we received it; let us wipe it clean — T. Printed ἀποσμύξωμεν ("consume by smouldering"); read ἀποσμήξωμεν, "wipe clean" (Latin abstergamus).
• 1825D · …according to the image; for God wants it — T. Printed αὐτῷ; read αὐτό, the object of θέλει (Latin vult enim illam).
• 1825D · …spot or wrinkle or anything of the kind. — S. Eph 5:27.
• 1825D · …the image what is according to the image. — T. Printed τῷ κατ᾿ εἰκόνα; read τὸ, as in the first citation of the line above.
• 1828A · …far as he can, all the emperor's garments, — T. Printed τὰς αἰσθητάς, an adjective with no noun ("all the perceptible …"); read ἐσθῆτας, "garments" (Latin vestes omnes).
• 1828C · …as the Apostle says, by trespasses and sins, — S. Eph 2:1.

Chunk 0029 (dd-028)

• 1829A · …will we cast ourselves down and enslave ourselves. — T. Printed καταδηλοῦμεν ("make plain"); read καταδουλοῦμεν, "enslave", which the argument requires (ὑποχειρίους ποιεῖ just before; Latin servituti huic subjicitur).
• 1829A · …if we take ourselves off into Hades again? — T. ἀπέλθωμεν ("go off") stands with an object ἑαυτούς it cannot govern; a transitive verb (e.g. ἀπαγάγωμεν, "lead off") may have been displaced (Latin rejiciamus nos ipsos). Rendered so as to fit either.
• 1829A · …have mercy on us, and give us watchfulness — T. Printed νήψειν, an infinitive that cannot follow δώσει with τοῦ συνιέναι; read the noun νῆψιν (Latin studium).
• 1829C · …words, says: Living victims, rational whole burnt offerings, — S. A sung line from Gregory Nazianzen on the martyrs; not located here.
• 1829D · …and gouged out their eyes, and besides this — T. Printed ἐπὶ τὸ τούτων, which does not construe; read ἐπὶ τούτοις, "besides this".
• 1829D · …one thing ⟨and a whole burnt offering another⟩. — T. The Greek has only "a sacrifice is one thing"; the second member, needed by the answer that follows (sacrifice, then whole burnt offering), is supplied. Latin Sacrificii genus aliud est.
• 1832A · …up your understanding a little, and your soul — T. Printed ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν, "our soul", in a clause addressed to "you" (ἀναγινώσκετε, ὑμῶν); read ὑμῶν (Latin animas vestras).
• 1832D · …a boiling of the blood around the heart." — S. Basil, Homily against the angry (Hom. 10), the definition of anger.
• 1832D · …Moses, when clothing Aaron in the high-priestly vestment, — T. Printed ἄνθυμα, not a word; read ἔνδυμα, "vestment" (Latin indumentum).
• 1832D · …oracle on his breast, according to God's command. — S. Exod 28:30; Lev 8:8.
• 1832D · …practical life, with God, cleanses itself and returns — T. Printed ἐπανεχομένης; read ἐπανερχομένης, "returns" (Latin redit).
• 1832D · …of the things that have come to be. — S. Evagrius, Praktikos 86.
• 1833C · …I know mine, and am known by mine.* — S. John 10:14, 27.
• 1833D · …likewise said to know and to be known. — T. The sentence as printed ("to that extent he is said not to know, drawing near; likewise he is said to know and to be known") has lost its middle: the participle ἐγγίζων belongs to a second member about drawing near. The supplied words follow the Latin, ignorare et ignorari ab aliquo dicitur per elongationem, et per appropinquationem sciri et cognosci.
• 1836B · …found not far from those who are crowned. — S. 2 Clement 7:3, loosely.
• 1836B · …the present we may get clear of Hades; — T. ἐξειλήσωμεν is an unusual form (ἐξειλέω, "extricate oneself"?); rendered by sense, "get clear of". The Latin paraphrases (gehenna repulsa).
