Summary/Abstract: This article sets out and discusses, in relation to the current Romanian language, a set of peculiarities related to the sentence syntax encountered in Manuscript 67 at the Library of the Romanian Academy in Bucharest. It contains the entire Slavonic translation of Ithica Ieropolitica by the Archbishop of Putna Monastery, Vartolomei Măzăreanu, in 1764. The theoretical reflection in this article is based on our own interpretative transcription activity in Latin alphabet, taking into account the current orthographical rules, of the text Ithica Ieropolitica, written in Cyrillic script by the scholarly monk V. Măzăreanu. There are presented the syntactic characteristics existing in the text, considering their correlation with the degree of evolution of the syntax of the Romanian language in the XVIII-th century. It has thus been observed that Ithica presents many elements that constitute a norm in the present literary language, but also preserves elements specific to the ancient Romanian language.
