The sayings of the Greek Gospel of the Egyptians are found scattered in the third book of the Stromateis of Clement of Alexandria.[540]
The pioneering work done on the Greek Gospel of the Egyptians, synthesized by Wilhelm Schneemelcher,[541] has shown the number and extent of the fragments that can securely be assigned to this Gospel.
Building on this effort, Silke Petersen correctly ordered the four fragments, although she chose different variants for the first question of Salome and Jesus’s answer.[542](1) Jesus said: “I have come to bring female works to an end.”
(2) Salome said: “How long will men die?” Jesus said: “As long as women give birth.”
(3) Salome said: “I have done well then in not bearing a child?”
Jesus said: “Eat every plant, but do not eat one that has bitterness.”
(4) Salome said: “[When will this happen?]”
Jesus said: “When you trample the shameful garment,
And when the two become one,
And the male and the female
Neither male nor female.”
