Fragment 1

I adjure you, who shall transcribe this book, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by His glorious appearing, when He comes to judge the living and the dead, to compare what you have transcribed, and be careful to correct it according to this copy from which you have transcribed; also, that you in the same manner copy down this adjuration, and insert it in the transcript.
