However, all links to this site are now dead. As Wieland himself is not dead, I don't know if this means he has changed his mind about it (he used to be a rather neutral observer amid all the pro & anti-Smith hype) or that the space has been reorganized by his University (the subject is, after all, outside of the university's academic sphere).
Anyhow, I found that the Greek text at Ben C Smith's website, and elsewhere, was actually ascii text with an E_greek font. However, it was unaccented, so I copied & pasted it to MS Word and saved the file as a PDF. Then I opened the PDF with ABBY Finereader 11, "read" it into OCR form, and saved this as a plain text Word file. The resulting text is Unicode (UTF-8).
Since Ben had transcribed the text line for line from the text in Morton Smith's book Clement of Alexandria and a Secret Gospel of Mark (Harvard University Press, 1973), I found a couple of English translations online (one is Morton Smith's translation, and another was an independent translation by Robert Conner (who normally specializes in ancient and medieval magic), and created a three column table, with a separate row for each Greek line, slightly adapting the two translations to represent the sense of the text in the Greek lines.
In short, a quite helpful little resource for detailed study this fragment of a purported letter to Theodore by Clement of Alexandria, discovered written by hand in the blank end pages of a dog-eared printed book by Isaac Voss which successfully, it seems, discerned the genuine and non-genuine letters of Ignatius of Antioch.
This "masterfully crafted resource"* can be yours, now, for a mere $255.95 US currency, wired to my Swiss bank account number ... naaaah! Tell you what, I'll send it - free - to any takers (just pay shipping and handling of $255.95 US).
Seriously, the file as described above does exist (I can convert it to PDF or RTF if you wish not to "dirty the hands" with a DOC file) and is free. I'll also see if Ben C Smith, who himself agrees with critics who think that Morton Smith fabricated it, wants to have a copy at his Text Excavation website.
