# Verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617), Terce.
# Extracted (2026-08) from the Nativity of the BVM and the Immaculate
# Conception's independently-authored content, confirmed byte-for-byte
# identical via diff. The Assumption's own Terce capitulum uses a
# *different* reading (Sir 24:11-12, not this Sir 24:14) and proper
# versicles even where the Sext/None reading bodies do match this Common
# — a first-class feast's proper office overriding the plain Common,
# still worth a fully proper file rather than forcing it in here (see
# assumption's own terce/sext/none-capitulum files and TODO.md).
