Охридский архиепископ Иоанн Каматир как вероятный автор славянской службы Михаилу Воину из Потуки
The Archbishop of Ohrid John Kamateros as a Possible Author of the Slavonic Liturgical Office for St Michael, the Soldier of Potuka

Summary/Abstract: In a previous publication, the author demonstrated that the Slavonic liturgical Office for St. Michael of Potuka is a translation from а lost Greek original: reverse translation of the canon’s incipits into Greek allowed him to reconstruct, with a relative certainty, a fragment from the original Greek acrostic which contained the saint’s name ΜΙΧΑΗΛ. Using the same method in this publication, he reconstructs another fragment of the Greek acrostic, which, in the last two odes of the Canon, features the Greek name IΩΑΝΝΗΣ—apparently, the author’s name. This person may tentatively be identified as the archbishop of Ohrid John Kamateros (after 1183–1215).
