Enoch’s Aramaic Witness
4Q201 · 4Q Enᵃ
Trace 4Q201’s Aramaic Enoch text, writing on both faces, a measured parchment sample and the questions still open about its author, recovery and translation.

Follow this document ↗An author, a copyist and a finder have different roles
Record the work’s traditional attribution separately from a documented author or compiler. A scribe copied a physical witness; a finder or archaeologist belongs to its recovery history. An unnamed person remains unnamed until evidence identifies them. Modern editors and translators receive their own credits.
What the translation register actually shows
These counts come from the existing 58-assessment coverage map, not from the number of biographies. An assessment is one selected witness/object lead. A known translation of a work does not establish coverage of every surviving copy.
“Coverage not checked” is a research task. No selected assessment currently satisfies the map’s documented-search threshold for declaring that no translation was located. No global untranslated percentage can be calculated from this selection.
Three witnesses means three checkable questions
Each pilot claim has three evidence slots. A slot can support, challenge, supply context, depend on an earlier source, or remain pending. Three pages repeating a museum record remain one underlying source group. Even three independent sources must address the same proposition before they can corroborate it.
The slots do not manufacture certainty, certify a genealogy or require us to conceal a well-documented fact while further evidence is sought. A disputed reading remains visible. The 2025 handwriting model’s dependence on radiocarbon reference data is recorded when comparing methods.
The biography queue
5 of 30 Reading Room object/witness leads have a structured pilot biography. “Pilot reviewed” means the fields and stated evidence were reviewed; it does not mean every question has been answered. 25 leads still need structured histories.

Place, people and tribal connections need their own evidence
Keep a named group inside a text, a proposed author’s identity, a copying community and an archaeological findspot in separate fields. A language, shared symbol or place-name is not proof of tribal ancestry. Connections can be documented as an attribution, proposal, disagreement or unresolved question.
