Incipit

"ܟܕ ܡܢ ܦܘܠܘܣ ܐܠܗܝܐ ܝܿܠܦܝܢܢ ܕܐܡܿܪ: ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܝܬ ܕܟܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܩܒܬܐ̣. ܐܬܚܙܝܬ ܠܢ̣. ܕܐܦ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܟܝܢܐ ܢܩܒ̈ܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܗ̈ܘܝ̣. ܢܝܬܐ ܠܬܫܥܝܬܐ."1 "Comme nous l’apprenons de Paul qui dit: “Dans le Christ Jésus il n’y a ni mâle ni femelle”, il nous a semblé opportun d’apporter aussi l’histoire de ces personnes qui étaient par nature des femelles."1

Explicit

"ܘܦܫܬ ܛܘܒܢܝܬܐ ܬܘܒ ܒܪܬܗ̣. ܟܕ ܡܚܣܢܐ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܒܘܪܟܬܗܿ ܘܕܨܠܘܬܗܿ. ܟܕ ܐܦ ܗ̣ܝ ܗ̈ܢܝܢ ܥܩ̈ܒܬܐ ܕܩ̈ܕܝܫܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܒܟܬ. ܘܫܪܝܬ ܒܬܪܗܝܢ̣. ܒܪܗܛܐ ܚܝܨܐ ܕܕܘܒܪ̈ܝܗܝܢ."1 "Et sa bienhereuse fille resta encore, fortifiée par la puissance de sa bénédiction et de sa prière, en suivant les traces de ces saintes et en commençant après elles la course ferme de leur vie."1
