Yerevan, Matenadaran 2680; the edition takes into account three MSS of the short recension, not known by its first editor in 1922. The introduction is devoted to a study of the attribution of the text to a certain “bishop Zenob”, of its possible links with the corpus of Georgian and Armenian homilies transmitted under the name of Meletius of Antioch, and of the peculiar syntax of the Armenian text, which betrays an early translation from Syriac. We also demonstrate the preacher’s reliance on the Peshitta and the Lucianic version in his quotations from the Old Testament. An English translation accompanies the critical edition.
