These passages are interpreted as a highly authoritative and very old liturgical source, which Theodore of Mopsuestia used when he composed his homilies. The paper presents evidence for the assumption that these texts are excerpts based on the Syriac translation of the homilies. The thesis is supported by observations about the textual character and genre of these passages, their relationship to the following homilies and to later East-Syrian liturgies and by the fact that the term <i>surat ktab</i> cannot be translated ‘text of the book’—a translation which supported the hypothesis of the existence of a written source which Theodore used. The excerpts are not absolutely accurate and some of their deviations from Theodore’s homilies as well as the selection of the material to be chosen for these summaries may betray the excerptor’s ecclesiastical background. Thus, the passages under the heading of <i>surat ktab</i> contain a quotation of the text of the Sanctus which predates the oldest manuscripts of the Anaphora of Addai and Mari which contain the text of the Sanctus.
