Summary/Abstract: As a part of the Slavonic Octoich, Prayer Canon for the Holy Mother of God, on Friday in voice 3 is a work in acrostich which consists of several Old Bulgarian hymnographers signatures. The first part of the article, published in “Luboslovie”, Volume 19, presents a study about the signatures of Stoyan and Boyan. In this second part of the edition, further hypotheses are presented. According to them, the signatures of Naum, John, Sovi, and Ovidi are also included in the acrozone of the canon. In accordance with the data presented in the study Stoyan, Boyan and Naum may be considered to be one of the first students and collaborators of the first teachers Cyril and Methodius. The fact that, along with their names in the acrostic space, the signatures of the Sovies and Ovids (unknown hymnographers) are included gives reason to think that they are also a part of the Cyril and Methodius Circle of Literature.
