Abstract
The article brings to scholalry attention a large fragment of the Greek original of Severian of Gavala’s sermon «On the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem» (CPG 4246 = CPG 4287), which was previously considered lost. Prior to this discovery, the text was known only from Old Armenian and Old Georgian translations. The edition (editio princeps) of the Greek text from the majuscule manuscript Sinai, New Finds, ΜΓ3 is preceded by introductory remarks of palaeographical and codicological nature, as well as a list of other identified homiletic texts preserved in this ancient manuscript; an early dating of the end of the 8th century is suggested. The Greek text is accompanied by a Russian translation in a comparative table, where we juxtappose the Russian translations from the ancient Armenian and Georgian versions.
