- Homilies 1-15 of 44, transcribed from the CCEL ThML transcription of NPNF1-12, which holds both First and Second Corinthians in one file (matched on their printed div1 titles, never on position — Second Corinthians is untouched by this build). The mandatory transcription-integrity audit was run first: a probe-walk word-count audit against the dated 1886-90 scan's OCR (archive.org selectlibraryofn12auguuoft), calibrated with a positive control (a 700-word excision, confirmed detected before trusting any clean result), plus a structural census of the volume's own printed "Homily N." headings. All 44 First Corinthians divisions carry sequential printed numbers 1-44 with no fusion, and every one closes on its own doxology (spelled out in full or, for roughly two in five homilies, the period's own "&c., &c." printer's abbreviation for the same closing formula — both are genuine printed endings, confirmed against the scan, not textual damage). Homilies 1-15 and the volume's full division census both audited clean at the ≥500-word detection scale this method resolves; that scale's own limitation (losses under roughly 300-500 words may not reliably register) applies here as everywhere the method is used. Two printer's duplicate-numeral errata (Homily VII's doubled "[7.]", Homily XIII's doubled "[8.]") and three sites of consecutive unprinted section numerals were found and, for Homily VII, cross-confirmed against the dated scan directly (page 40 opens straight on "[14.]" in the original print, not just in CCEL) — content is continuous at every site; nothing was invented or recovered from OCR, only the compositor's own numbering gaps are recorded. The work's own text only — Schaff/Chambers' editorial footnotes are not transcribed. Homilies 16-44 remain queued.

- A Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, First Series, Volume XII — the dated IA scan's own title page (not the CCEL ThML header's modern Eerdmans/T&T Clark reprint imprint) reads "VOLUME XII. SAINT CHRYSOSTOM: HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS. 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 (Chambers' revision) is also long expired. Same class basis as the Matthew and John volumes; this volume fingerprinted against the dated IA scan selectlibraryofn12auguuoft (title page, copyright date, and per-division text all matched) during this build's transcription-integrity audit.
