Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the possibility of the Old Church Slavonic liturgical Canon for St Michael of Potuka being a translation from а lost Greek original. In the result of a retranslation of the Slavonic incipits back into Greek, it was possible to reconstruct (with a certain probability) a fragment of the original Greek acrostic, which includes the saint’s name ΜΙΧΑΗΛ and testifies to the translational nature of the Old Church Slavonic text of the Canon.
