English: But like a man who setteth out boldly to cross over a great sea, or a very wide stream, and whom before the end of his journey thou findest to be overwhelmed and being drawn down into the boiling and raging waters of the torrent—even so am I in respect of the splendid deeds of that General Victor,
Coptic: και γαρ νταιαρχει εsαjε ενεfcομ μννεfsπηρε νταfααυ . hνταρχη μπεfενκωμιον .
English: For I began to speak to you concerning the mighty deeds and miracles which he hath wrought in the first part of (this) Encomium,

English: And, moreover, since certain of our inspired Fathers and Bishops who have lived before my time, that is to say, Eusebius, and Julius, and Innocent, who were teachers in very truth and were inspired by God, undertook to declare thy honour and the miracles which thou didst perform in thy martyrium,
Coptic: αυω μπουεsταυεπjωκ ννεκαρετη . μννεκμαειν .
English: and were unable to proclaim thy powers and the signs (wrought by thee),

English: the son would not give them but said (to himself), 'Verily my father hated the things which belonged to him,' and he spake out loud with evil words, saying, 'It is not Saint Victor who drinketh the wine, but it is the clergy who drink it;
Coptic: πλην καταsοπ εsαυσυναγε .
English: moreover, every time they wish to communicate I will send unto them offerings and first-fruits that they may communicate.

Coptic: αυcνον . αυρfντ

Coptic: αιτακο μπεκhισε .
