By means of a line-by-line commentary, I also discuss parallel texts culled from various sources in and beyond Syriac (e.g. Greek, Latin, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopic, Chinese), and show how the parallels help us to read the Turfan fragments, and how the Turfan version adds to our knowledge of the transmission history of the legend. In particular, I argue that the Turfan version actually contains more elements of the original Greek text than the <i>textus receptus</i>, and that it records the earliest Syriac translation by far of the legend.
