English: And it came to pass, they say, that in the beginning, when the God-loving Emperor Constantine built this very martyrium wherein we are assembled this day in honour of Saint Apa Victor, a certain great general fell sick of a very severe disease.
Coptic: αfρσοε νρομπε ερεπεfσα νhουν tτκασ εροf . μπεfhινηβ . εfsοοπ hμπsωνε ετουμουτε εροf hιτννσαειν jεκαλκηνωμα .
English: Now he was sixty years of age, and he suffered great pain in his inward parts, and he was unable to sleep; and he was sick with the disease which the physicians call καλκηνωμα.
Coptic: αυω σχεδων αfthουο ευκυνδιναριον ννουβ μπουα πουα ννσαειν .
English: He had given many large sums of money to one physician after the other,
Coptic: μπελααυ νωφελει ταhοf . αλλα νεfκινδυνευε επμου .
English: without feeling any benefit from their treatment. On the contrary, he was in imminent danger of dying.
Coptic: αfσωτμ δε ετβενcομ μννεsπηρε ετsοοπ εβολ hμπμαρτηριον μπhαγιοσ βικτωρ hντανtοχεια .
English: Then he heard about the mighty deeds and miracles which took place in the martyrium of Saint Victor in Antioch,
Coptic: αfτωουν αfβωκ ετανtοχεια .
English: and he rose up and went to Antioch.
Coptic: αfρhοου σναυ hμπμαρτηριον ετμμαυ μπεfμαατε μπταλcο .
English: And he passed two days in the martyrium there, and did not receive healing.
Coptic: hντεουsη δε μπμεhsομντ νhοου . αυκουι ναναπαυσισ sωπε μμοf hντcομ νατjρο εροσ μπνουτε
English: And on the night of the third day he felt a slight alleviation of the pain through the invincible power of God,
Coptic: ντευνου απhαγιοσ βικτωρ ει sαροf hνουhορομα .
English: and straightway Saint Victor came to him in a dream.
Coptic: εfο μπεσμοτ νουστρατηλατησ νjωωρε .
English: He was in the form of a mighty general,
Coptic: ερεπεfhο νεjακτιν νουοειν εβολ .
English: and his face shot forth rays of light,
Coptic: πεjαf ναf jεεsjε κουωs ελο εβολ hμπειsωνε . τωουν hνουcεπη νγβωκ επμαρτηριον ετsοοπ hνhρωμη . νγ δε μοου hμπλουτηρ μπεθυσιαστηριον . αυω κναμαατε μπταλcο .
English: and he said unto the sick general, 'If thou wishest to be made free of this disease, rise up quickly and depart to the martyrium (of Saint Victor) which is in Rome. Thou shalt drink the water which is in the vessel in the chamber of the altar of sacrifice, and thou shalt find healing.
Coptic: μη νταπμαρτηριον ετhνhρωμη hισε . ακει επειμα . νγσοουν αν jεταcομ hμπκοσμοσ τηρf .
English: Was it because (my) martyrium which is in Rome is difficult (to reach) that thou didst come to this place? Didst thou not know that my power is in all the world,
Coptic: τειδωρεα νουωτ τετμην εβολ νhητου τηρου . ννετναπιστευε αjνρhητσναυ μη νγσοουν αν jετειcομ νουωτ τετμην εβολ hνναμαρτηριον . hρωμη μντανtοχεια . ετβεου ακνεjπεισκυλμοσ εjωκ .
English: and that it is the selfsame gift of healing which is (to be obtained) in them all, by those who believe and do not halt between two opinions? Didst thou not know that this selfsame power permeateth my martyrium which is in Rome and that which is in Antioch?
