English: who saith, 'I hate all the labour for which I had suffered under the sun, because I am obliged to leave it to the man who shall come after me?
Coptic: ετεπαι πε . μογισ ντεουρωμε νατhητ jοοσ hντεfψυχη . jεεισωουh εhουν ετβεναsηρε . jεευναhε ετευcινωνh μννσαπαμου .
English: Now the meaning of these words is that the senseless man saith in his soul, With pain and difficulty I gather together (possessions) for my children, in order that they may find means whereby to live after my death.
Coptic: εκσοουν των ω πατθητ jεπεκsηρε ναωνh νfκληρονομει μμοκ . η jεεfναρουνοc ναhε νfjοου εβολ .
