Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this article is to examine a medieval Sicilian translation of the episode from the Gospel of St. Mark in which Jesus releases a deaf and dumb boy from a demonic possession that afflicted him with epilepsy (Mark 9: 14-28). The translation was prepared as a script for use in a religious function, and it was written in the interlinear space of a Greek evangeliary using the Greek alphabet as a phonetic aid to oral performance in the local dialect. The oral Sicilian version was meant to make the evangelist sound like a fellow countryman, aware of the concerns and beliefs of the congregation. This approach to the translation of the gospel called for subtle metaleptic intrusions of contemporary culture into the text. Through this process, the translator made use of modern beliefs as aids to the vernacularization of his theology, presented as an expression of the local culture.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
