The Fables of Aesop; Mt 13:44) 110. Yeshua says: Whoever has found the world and been enriched, let him renounce the world. (Th 81) 111. Yeshua says: The sky and the earth shall be rolled up in your presence. And he who lives from within the Living-One shall see neither death [nor fear]— for Yeshua says: Whoever finds himself, of him the world is not worthy. (Isa 34:4, Lk 21:33, Rev/Ap 6:14) 112. Yeshua says: Woe to the flesh which depends upon the soul, woe to the soul which depends upon the flesh. (asyndeton; Th 87) 113. His Disciples say to him: When will the Sovereignty come? || (Yeshua says:) It shall not come by expectation. They will not say: Behold here! or: Behold there! But the Sovereignty of the Father is spread upon the earth, and humans do not perceive it. (anti-Gnostic!; Lk 17:20-21, Th 51; Henry David Thoreau, Walden: ‘Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.’) 114. Shimon Kefa says to them: Let Mariam depart from among us, for women are not worthy of the life. (Pro 31:3, Ecc 7:28!) || Yeshua says: Behold, I shall inspire° her so that I make her male, in order that she herself shall become a living spirit like you males.¹ For every female who becomes male shall enter the Sovereignty of the Heavens. (¹exquisitely ironical, since ‘spirit’ in Aramaic— the original language of the logion— is feminine!; Gen 3:16, Ex 18:2, Th 22!; cp. [remarkably] English ‘tomboy’; Clement of Alexandria, Stromata VI.12: ‘Souls are neither male nor female when they no longer marry nor are given in marriage [Lk 20:34-36]; and is not woman transformed into man, when she is become equally unfeminine, and manly, and perfect?’) The Gospel according to Thomas Notes to Thomas Coptic was the final, millennial stage of the classical Egyptian language, 44
evolving after the invasion of Alexander the Great (332 BC) and subsequently supplanted by Arabic following the Muslim conquest (640 AD); see Biblio.20. It has always been the liturgical language of the Egyptian Church; moreover, the ancient Coptic versions of the Old and New Testaments are of great importance in textual Biblical studies. Utilizing many Greek loan words, Coptic also adopted the Greek alphabet, adding these letters: 4 (shai), 3 (fai), 6 (hori), ` (janja), 2 (gima), and 5 (ti), as well as ¯ (syllable or abbreviation indicator); see P001 and www.proel.org/ alfabetos/copto.html. English terms which derive from ancient Egyptian via Coptic include ‘pharaoh’ (Coptic p.r-ro: the-king, P080 C299a), ‘adobe’ (Coptic twwbe: brick, C398a; via Arabic and Spanish), ‘oasis’ (from Egyptian via Greek; Coptic parallel oua6e, C508b), and ‘manna’ (Coptic moone: to feed, C173a). ‘C...’ and ‘P...’ are references to pages/sections in Crum's Dictionary and Plumley's Grammar (Biblio.4+5). Adam (46 85): Heb Md) (blood-red, clay)— the original human and/or generic mankind. Aesop (102 109): crippled Gk slave who flourished in the 6th-century BC and was executed at Delphi for ‘impiety’, whose Fables were well-known thruout the ancient world; the only non-Israelite other than the Delphic Oracle (‘Recognize thyself’: Th 3) whom Christ is known to have quoted, as also in Lk 4:23 (moral from ‘The Quack Frog’), Mt 7:15 (‘The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing’) and various other allusions. All (77): see Totality. Bear (101): interpolated Coptic text: ta.maau gar n-ta.[s.mast ero.i eb]ol P050, C197a Gk P202+186b, P035, C184b, P039 P261.7, P035 C034a my-mother For did(II)-[she-bear accusative-me for]th. I assume that the inclusion here of the pronominal ero.i is for clarity and emphasis, as the first-person singular suffix -i is omitted after mast= (the Pronominal Form of mise): see P039; image of the papyrus: www.metalog.org/files/pap.gif.
