Compare Aramaic fragments, Hebrew Jubilees and Ethiopic Enoch while keeping each witness and work identifiable.
Three works, several manuscript traditions
An Enoch title, a Book of Giants fragment and a Jubilees witness are separate research targets. This route connects the new 4Q201, 4Q208, 4Q209 and 4Q216 leads with 4Q203 and six selected Geʿez Enoch copies. Shared names or themes do not supply missing lines. Begin by choosing the work and the physical witness.
Compare a passage rather than a whole reputation
Choose a fragment or a short translated unit. Record the manuscript number, the edition’s fragment number, column and line, and the institutional image reference. For the Ethiopic copies, keep the folio reference alongside the modern chapter reference. A translated modern edition does not prove that every selected copy has been independently translated.
Use the astronomical witness carefully
The 4Q208 plate record opens a route into Astronomical Enoch. It does not by itself establish a line-by-line match with a later Ethiopic chapter or validate a present-day calendar. A historical calculation needs the passage, its reading, the relevant units and a stated conversion method.
The assessments below identify the current research boundary. No full transcription, new manuscript translation or whole-corpus completion claim is implied.
Enᵃ I iii, lines 13–16 · Library of Congress exhibition numbering
03 · TRANSCRIPTION
Source-language reading
The exhibition credits Milik’s Aramaic transcription as amended by Greenfield. Bracketed wording must remain identifiable as supplied text.
04 · TRANSLATION
Edition and coverage
Library of Congress: Enᵃ I iii 13–16, translation J. C. Greenfield; transcription J. T. Milik amended by Greenfield. The separate Milik 1976 print-edition concordance remains open.
Obtain or consult DJD 36 pp. 3–7 and plate I for exact English coverage; confirm the candidate sample concordance and recovery record through the focused IAA inquiry of 9 November 2026.
The catalogue distinguishes the manuscript from its plate and image records. Passage-level image-to-edition mapping is still needed.

Other-language evidence
French: Langlois 2008, fragment 2, pp. 389–399; rendering p. 399 checked. Positions 1–3 have fragmentary rendered expressions; later positions are ellipses and the presence of lines 6–7 is uncertain. This does not establish English coverage.
Rights
Institution-hosted reading route. No image redistribution or new translation licence recorded for Babylon.
What was reviewed
Selected English exhibition excerpts and French fragment 2 rendering checked. Candidate image B-366868 / plate 904 fragment 9 compared with the edition photograph; exact sample cut, recovery record and English DJD 36 coverage remain unconfirmed.
English status: An English edition or corresponding-verse translation is identified. Exact witness and passage mapping remains open.

Source-language reading
Ceriani’s Latin transcription is available in the project’s TEI encoding. Modern page 62 and reconstructed original page 83 are different identifiers for the selected material.

Edition and coverage
Ceriani 1861 Latin transcription and James C. VanderKam, The Book of Jubilees, CSCO 511 (1989), Latin-recension translation. Selected page markers checked in the project XML.
Check the photograph letter by letter and compare the print edition. This Latin witness does not settle the separate Aramaic/Hebrew Qumran fragment mappings, including 4Q216.
A partially surviving codex. Original page 83 / modern palimpsest page 62 maps to Jubilees 13:10–15. Reconstructed missing pages are not surviving material.
