- Revision
- A continuous, verse-by-verse Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians — structurally distinct from every other work in this Chrysostom sequence, which are preached, numbered homilies. Transcribed from the CCEL ThML transcription of NPNF1-13, which packs this Commentary and the separate Homilies on Ephesians into one shared div1 — located here by its own printed div2 title ("Commentary on Galatians."), never by position, bounded below by the following "Homilies on Ephesians." div2 (a separately published work, untouched by this build). 6 of 6 chapters shipped, one work unit per chapter (unitNoun: chapter), matching the source's own six "Chapter N" divisions rather than any homily numbering. Within each chapter, Chrysostom re-cites the verse he is currently expounding, clause by clause, dozens of times — this build treats every one of the source's own 153 internal re-citations as a section boundary, keeping the printed "Ver. N[, M]." text visible as each section's own lead (the same "keep the source's own verse lead visible" convention already used by this archive's Cornelius a Lapide commentary), and anchors every section at the specific verse(s) it re-cites rather than only at the chapter's own opening pericope. A mandatory transcription-integrity audit ran first: a probe-walk word-count audit (notes included) against the dated 1889 scan's OCR, calibrated with a positive control (700 words excised, confirmed detected before trusting any clean result). A structural census (6 "Chapter N" printed headings, sequential I-VI, no gaps, duplicates, or fusion) confirms no defect of the kind found in the Matthew volume. The work's own text only — Gross Alexander's editorial footnotes are not transcribed.

- A Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, First Series, Volume XIII — "Saint Chrysostom: Homilies on Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus, and Philemon." Verified against the DATED Internet Archive scan aselectlibrary13unknuoft (not the superficially similar selectlibraryofn13auguuoft or nicenefathers13unknuoft identifiers, both of which are the 1956 Eerdmans photolithoprint reprint on direct title-page inspection), whose OCR carries the original title page verbatim ("VOLUME XIII... NEW YORK: THE CHRISTIAN LITERATURE COMPANY. 1889.") and "COPYRIGHT, 1889, BY THE CHRISTIAN LITERATURE COMPANY." — pre-1930 US publication, term long expired; the underlying Oxford Translation (revised by Gross Alexander) is likewise long expired. Same class basis as the already-published Matthew (npnf110), John (npnf114), Romans (npnf111), and this volume's own Ephesians/Philippians/Colossians/Titus/Philemon siblings.
