The Pastor of Hermas The Shepherd of Hermas.

Author: Hermas

(NOTE: The electronic text obtained from The Electronic Bible Society was not completely corrected. EWTN has corrected as much as possible without benefit of the original text.) Transliteration of Greek words: All phonetical except: w = omega; h serves three puposes: 1. = Eta; 2. = rough breathing, when appearing intially before a vowel; 3. = in the aspirated letters theta = th, phi = ph, chi = ch. Accents are given immediately after their corresponding vowels: acute = ' , grave = `, circumflex = ^. The character ' doubles as an apostrophe, when necessary.
