“Et ce qui est apparu au Christ Dieu bon pasteur, qui s’est livré pour son troupeau, et ce qui est utile, qu’il le fasse à son troupeau racheté par son sang précieux; à lui gloire… Amen. Du scribe. Ces choses, je les ai trouvées, et j’ai aussi enquêté sur elles et je me suis informé aurprès de gens qui circulaient dans cette région… Que par leurs prières le faible scribe soit gardé de tout mal. Amen.” 1
