P199a, P035, C408b C757a P050, C815a Did-thou[masc]-lay upon my-bed. This last term is the one and only Sahidic Coptic word for ‘bed’. Pace Guillaumont et alia (Biblio.6), it does not mean‘bench’, which would be poi (C260b); nor does it mean ‘sofa’, for which there are several terms listed in the English index of Crum under ‘couch’, e.g. ma n-.nkotk (place ofreclining, C225a)— thus in the Sahidic version of Ac 5:15, glog is used for ΚΛΙΝΑΡΙΟΝ and ma n-.nkotk for ΚΡΑΒΒΑΤΟΣ (my thanks to Hany Takla for this reference). Blest (7 18 19 49 54 58 68 69a 69b 79 103): Gk ΜΑΚΑΡΙΟΣ; this Gk word means divine, rather than merely human, beatitude (Mt 5:3 et passim). Bridal-Chamber (75 104): Copt ma n-.4eleet (place of-bride; C153a C560b) = Gk ΝΥΜΦΩΝ = Heb rdx (kheder); the bedroom where the marriage is consummated (Jud 15:1, Ps 19:5 45:13-15!, S-of-S 1:4, Jn 3:29!, Mt 9:15 [ΟΙ ΥΙΟΙ ΤΟΥ ΝΥΜΦΩΝΟΣ, the Sons of the Bridal-Chamber] 25:113)— see Sacrament in Ph Notes and Ph 65 71 72 73 82 94 101 108 131 143. Conceal (84): Copt ouwn6 ebol (show forth [in the transitive and non-reflexive sense], C486b)— i.e. manifest something which is both beyond itself and unperceived; see ‘Angel, Image and Symbol’. Defile (7): Copt bht (from bwte, to pollute, be abominable; C045b) see Defilement in Ph Notes. Dogmatists (39 102): Aram My#wrp (perushím, ‘Pharisees’: separated); religious teachers; Mt 5:20 23:1-39, Ac 26:5. Draw (8): see Inspire. Everything (6 67): see Totality. Gnostic (5): re the blatant anti-Gnosticism of these texts, see Incarnate, Recognition and ‘Are the Coptic Gospels Gnostic?’, Comm.1, below; ‘Gnosticism’ is by definition metaphysically Platonic, maintaining that the perceptible universe and thus all incarnation are illusory; our texts, on the contrary, share the Biblical view that both the universe and our incarnations are divinely created. Heaven (20 44 114): see Sky. 46
Image/Imagery (22 50 83 84): Gk ΕΙΚΩΝ (similitude) = Heb Mlc (tselem, from lc [tsel, shadow]; Gen 1:26); sensory perceptions and/or mental images, the five senses (Th 19!) together with memory and the imagination; see ‘Angel, Image and Symbol’, Commentary 4. Incarnate (28): Copt 6n- sarc (‘in flesh’— utilizing the same Gk term as Jn 1:14, ΣΑΡΞ); thus blatantly anti-Gnostic; see Gnostic. Inspire (3 114): Copt sok (to blow as the wind or to flow as water, hence to draw or attract: C325); see Jn 6:44 (Gk ΕΛΚΩ). Jacob the Righteous (12): Heb bq(y (yakov: heeler, supplanter; Gen 25:26) = Gk ΙΑΚΩΒΟΣ = English ‘James’; Christ's human brother (Mk 6:3, Jn 7:5, Ac 1:14 12:17, Jas 1:1), subsequently Elder of the Convocation in Jerusalem. John the Baptist (46 78): John = Heb Nnxwy (yokhanan: Yah is gracious); the last Heb prophet and the Messianic precursor (Lk 1 3 7), see Oracle, Ph 73 81 133, Baptism in Ph Notes, Logoi in Tr Notes. Kind (65): see Vintage. Lord/Master (47 64 65 73 74): Heb Nwd) (adón) = Gk ΚΥΡΙΟΣ = Copt `oeis (C787b); owner of a slave; see Ph 2. Mariam (21 114): Heb Myrm (from Mwrm, mrom: exalted; Ex 2:4 15:20); five females named Mariam appear in the Gospels: the Virgin, Mariam of Magdala, Mariam of Bethany, Mariam of Cleopas, and Mariam the Lord's human sister (Mc 6:3, Ph 36); the LXX as well as the oldest and best manuscripts of e.g. Jn 20 (vs.1 [) A], vs.11 [p66c )], vs.16 [) B], vs.18 [p66 ) B]) provide the correct transliteration of this (Semitic) name into Gk letters: ΜΑΡΙΑΜ. Matthew (13): Heb hy-Ntm (mattan-yah: gift of Yah); the Apostle/Evangelist, also named ‘Levi of Alphaeus’ (see Levi in Ph Notes, Mk 2:14), brother of the Apostle Jacob of Alphaeus; Mt 10:3 etc. Meaning/Saying (Prolog 1 19 38 79): Copt 4a`e (C612b) = Gk ΛΟΓΟΣ = Heb rm) (amr) = Aram )rmym (memra); English ‘meaning’ derives from Anglo-Saxon ‘mænan’ = ‘to have in mind, mention, conceive + express’, the exact sense of both logos and memra; Jn 1:1 thus reads ‘In (the) Origin was the Meaning’; one Gk term for ‘word’ is ΡΗΜΑ. 47
