Fevral'skaja kniga Minei četii drevnjago sostava po spisku XV věTca,” in his Svěděnija i zamětki o maloizvěstnyx i neizvěstnyx pamatnikax, XLI—LXV (= Sbornik Otděienija russkago jazyka i slovesnosti Imperatorskoj Akademii nauk, 12:1; St. Petersburg, 1874) 377–91.

In addition to the features noted by Sreznevskij as indicating the great age of the translations in the MS, we would call attention to the presence in the Martyrdom of a corrupt example of the extremely rare first person singular imperative form: prijati budemŭ, recte prijatŭ buděmĭ, translating Greek πρoσδεΞθην (14.2). The fifteenth-century copyist took the singular buděmĭ for the indicative plural budemŭ and altered the participle prijatŭ to agree with it in the plural.
