- All 32 of 32 homilies, transcribed from the CCEL ThML transcription of NPNF1-11, which also holds the Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles (matched on div1 titles, never on position, per this build's own two-works-in-one-volume check) — Acts is untouched by this build. A mandatory transcription-integrity audit ran first: a probe-walk word-count audit against the dated 1886 scan's OCR (archive.org selectlibraryofn11auguuoft), calibrated with a positive control (700 words excised from Homily VII, confirmed detected before trusting any clean result), found zero confirmed real holes across all 32 divisions after each residual chain-boundary/repeated-quotation suspect was individually verified present in CCEL by direct text lookup, not merely dismissed by scale. A structural census (32 "Homily N" div2 titles, sequential I-XXXII, no gaps or duplicates) confirms no fusion of the kind found in the Matthew volume. Unlike Matthew and John, this volume prints no inline numbered sub-sections at all (measured: zero across all 981 paragraphs) — each homily is transcribed as a single, unnumbered section, the same convention Matthew/John already use for an unnumbered "section 1". Twenty-one of the 32 homilies end their doxology abbreviated to "...by the grace and love toward man, etc." rather than spelled out to "...Amen." — confirmed against the dated scan to be a feature of the printed edition (a formula repeated across 32 sermons, commonly abbreviated after its first few full appearances), not a transcription loss. Homily XVIII prints its citation line before its "Homily XVIII." heading rather than after, the sole exception to the other 31 divisions' ordering — confirmed present, in that order, in the dated scan too; handled generically rather than special-cased. The work's own text only — Schaff/Stevens's editorial footnotes are not transcribed.

- A Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, First Series, Volume XI — CCEL's own DC.Title metadata reads "NPNF1-11. Saint Chrysostom: Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistle to the Romans" with DC.Rights "Public Domain"; independently verified against the dated Internet Archive scan selectlibraryofn11auguuoft, whose OCR carries the title page verbatim ("VOLUME XI. SAINT CHRYSOSTOM: HOMILIES ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES AND THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS. NEW YORK: THE CHRISTIAN LITERATURE COMPANY.") and "COPYRIGHT, 1889, BY THE CHRISTIAN LITERATURE COMPANY." — pre-1930 US publication, term long expired; the underlying Oxford Translation (Morris/Simcox, revised by Stevens) is likewise long expired. Same class basis as the already-published Matthew (npnf110) and John (npnf114) volumes.
