Abstract
The analysis of the occurrences of ⲁⲡⲟⲫⲁⲥⲓⲥ/ⲁⲡⲟⲫⲁⲛⲉ in Coptic texts, which have not yet been used to determine the meaning of this word, makes it probable that the meaning of this word in the prologue of the Gospel of Judas is used to denote an authoritative teaching of Jesus. The known Coptic texts do not support the translation of ⲁⲡⲟⲫⲁⲥⲓⲥ as “revelation”. For the meaning of “judgment” an object (denoting what is judged or the content of the judgment) is missing. As for meaning “denial” the Coptic evidence seems to point in the direction that ⲁⲡⲟⲫⲁⲥⲓⲥ with this meaning is not used in Coptic texts.
