And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to [one] named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we lanched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, [one] Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

And the next [day] we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously treated Paul, and gave [him] liberty to go to his friends to refresh himself.
And when we had lanched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Mira, [a city] of Lycia.
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲛ̅ⲱⲥⲕ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲛ̅ⲡⲱϩ ⲉⲕⲛⲓⲧⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲕⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲛⲣ̅ϩⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲁⲗⲙⲟⲛⲏ.
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce had come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone:
8 ⲏ̅ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲁⲧⲥ̅. ⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲗⲓⲙⲏⲛ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ. ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲗⲁⲥⲟⲥ.
And hardly passing it, came to a place which is called, The fair havens; nigh to which was the city [of] Lasea.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ. ⲁⲛⲣ̅ϩⲃⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϫⲉⲁⲧⲕⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ. ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished [them].
10 ⲓ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ϯⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙ̅ⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲟⲥⲉ. ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲕⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ.
And said to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
Nevertheless, the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than the things which were spoken by Paul.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲓⲙⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲟⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲡⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ ϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲉⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲉⲟⲩⲗⲓⲙⲏⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡϩⲏⲛⲓⲝ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ.
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, [and there] to winter; [which is] a haven of Crete, and lieth towards the south-west and north-west.
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they sailed close by Crete.
But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let [her] drive.
And running under a certain isle which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈. ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲛ. ⲁⲩⲛⲉϩⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven.
And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next [day] they lightened the ship;
And the third [day] we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲣⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲭⲓⲙⲱⲛ ϩⲓϫⲱⲛ. ⲛⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲥⲕ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲛⲉϣϣⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲓ̈. ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙ̅ⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲥⲉ.
But after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of life among you, but of the ship.
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲉ. ϩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲧⲁϩⲟⲕ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲕ.
Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cesar: and lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ. ϯⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it will be even as it was told to me.
But we must be cast upon a certain isle.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲉϩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲏ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲣ̅ϩⲱⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲣⲓⲁⲥ. ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲉϥ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲁϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲭⲱⲣⲁ.
When the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen suspected that they drew near to some country:
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲃⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϫⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲡⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϭⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲃⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲏ ⲛ̅ϩⲡⲟⲧ.
And sounded, and found [it] twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found [it] fifteen fathoms.
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲧ̅. ⲁⲩⲛⲉϫϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ.
Then fearing lest we should fall upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 ⲗ̅ ⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲉϥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲕⲁⲡϫⲟⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲁⲧⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲉⲩϭⲛ̅ⲗⲟⲓ̈ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲛⲉϫϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲑⲏ.
And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under color as though they would cast anchors out of the foreship,
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲫⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲱ ϩⲓⲡϫⲟⲓ̈. ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ.
Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲱⲛ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲕⲁⲉⲓⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲙⲗⲁⲁⲩ.
And while the day was coming on, Paul besought [them] all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried, and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϥⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅.
Wherefore I pray you to take [some] food; for this is for your health: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you.
35 ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲁϥⲉⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥⲧⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲡⲟϣϥ̅ ⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ. ⲁϥϯ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲁⲛ.
And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all; and when he had broken [it], he began to eat.
Then they were all of good cheer, and they also took food.
And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy six souls.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast the wheat into the sea.
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲉϥ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ̅. ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲗⲡⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓⲟⲣϩϥ̅. ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲙⲁⲩ.
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into which they purposed, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40 ⲙ̅ ⲁⲩⲧⲉⲕⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ϩⲁⲙⲁ ⲁⲩⲕⲁϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲓⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧϭⲓⲥⲗⲁⲩⲟ. ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϩⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ.
And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed [themselves] to the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted the mainsail to the wind, and made towards the shore.
41 ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ⲁⲩⲙⲁⲛⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲡⲉϥⲑⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲕⲓⲙ ⲁⲛ. ⲡⲉϥⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϣⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲩ.
And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained immovable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43 ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ ⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁϥⲕⲱⲗⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩϣⲟϫⲛⲉ. ⲁϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲏⲃⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϥⲟϭⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ.
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from [their] purpose, and commanded that they who could swim, should cast [themselves] first [into the sea], and get to land:
44 ⲙ̅ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ. ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲧⲥⲉ. ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓϩⲉⲛϩⲛⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ̈. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ.
And the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken pieces] of the ship: And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.
