Abstract

The article continues the publication of the homilies from the St. Cyril of Alexandria’s «Commentary on the Gospel of Luke» (CPG 5207), based on Manuscripts Damas. 12/19 and Damas. 12/20, offering the Syriac and parallel Greek text of Homilies 3–4 of the «Commentary». In the introduction are indicated the manuscript Syriac tradition. Their Greek tradition and their relationship to the Homily «On the Hypapante» (CPG 5207.1; BHG 1963) known by name of St. Cyril and fragments from Greek Catenas are considered in more detail. The inaccuracies made by J. Reuss when publishing the corresponding fragments of the «Commentary» on Greek Catenas are revealed. A summary analysis of manuscript sources of homily is made, and the reconstruction of their original text proposed in the publication is substantiated. A general review of the content is given and the question of the dating of these homily is touched upon. The publication of the Syriac and Greek text is accompanied by a Russian translation.
