The following excerpt is taken from scroll fragment 15g. It has been enumerated for quick reference.
9 Therefore, taking up our belongings, we [passed out of] the region, accompanied by Obvios the Inerrant and his hooded companions, who continued to speak [with us] concerning his visions.
10 And as we approached the caves of Pelekita near Ampelos we were [forced by inclimate weather] to seek shelter,
11 and coming upon a [caravan] we inquired if there were shelter nearby, for we were beginning to [feel the rain] on our backs.
12 We despaired when they said unto us 'No.' being still almost a full days journey from the caves of Pelekita near Ampelos.
13 But [at that moment] Obvios spoke in a loud voice and cried out,
14 "Brothers! Do not fear! For the Word of Truth is with us this very day;
15 And it shall be a light and a covering to guide and protect us through the storm."
16 But being slow to hear and understand, we feared all the more, lest the water swell in the valley and drown us all.
17 And we cried out to the heavens for mercy, but Obvios spoke again [more sternly]
18 "Brothers! I say to you, fear not! For behold, we have [tents] among our belongings."
19 And when he spoke these words our fears were eased and we were once again jubilant and began preparing our shelter.
20 And as [the evening] wore on we questioned Obvios further concerning the Word of Truth.
21 And he answered us saying, "For the Word of Truth came to me a second time.
22 I returned to my cell after vespers [and found] writing on the wall.
23 And the words were these, 'What you say shall [be], and you shall say it with diligence.
24 Permit no one to [question] you, for by the authority of the Word of Truth will you speak.
25 And you shall revile those who seek to [question] you, for great is their shame before you.
26 You alone are chosen [to know these things] and to act upon them for to you alone are given the high tables of light.'"
27 And we were amazed and questioned him concerning the high tables of light,
28 At which point Obvios became quite irritated and cursed us all before leaving the shelter with his hooded companions never to be seen again.
29 But the rain subsided [before] he [faded from sight], and despite our confusion concerning the Word of Truth and the curses Obvios pronounced upon us,
30 We were [exceedingly] joyful at this, and began dancing on the path.
