I'd like to put a text in the middle of all of us, here, so we all have something to talk about. My choices are few: I could look through all your libraries and pick something we have in common (I'm sure the Gospel of Thomas would be), but for the moment I'll stick with what's available online.

The Google Books version of the Pistis Sophia is rather unwieldy, so I'll start with the National Geographic text of the Gospel of Judas (for as long as it remains online...)

What do you think "hrot" is on line 20 of the first page? http://www.nationalgeographic.com/lostgospel/_pdf/CopticGospelOfJudas.pdf

"Child"? "Phantom"? "Child"? A hapax? There are other Gnostic texts that would support a Christology for either reading, but I'd like to stay closer to Egyptian philology. Guesses? Suggestions? A straw poll? If you don't read Coptic, which seems more likely to you given the rest of the text or other things you've read?
