Прокопије о словенском врховном богу (Bella VII 14, 23): две критичке опаске
Procopius about the Supreme God of the Slavs (Bella VII 14, 23): Two Critical Remarks

Summary/Abstract: A passage from Procopius, Bella VII 14, 23 is reconsidered, in which the beliefs of the heathen Slavs are described. It is shown to be corrupted. The main emendation proposed here consists in separating the word δημιουργόν from the preceding τῆς ἀστραππῆς and connecting it with the following ἁπαντων: consequently, the supreme god of the Slavs is said not to be the producer oflightning, but the creator of the universe.
