The text is translated by Euthymius the Athonite. The essay discusses the interrelationship and origin of the two texts. It has been discovered that St. John the Merciful’s <i>Apopthegmata</i> is a fragment from the Cimenian edition which is a description of his own life, and represents a recollection of St. Symeon the Stylite’s revelation. In the Old Slavic collections it is included as a separate work, however, unlike the Georgian version, it does not follow the text of Symeon of Mesopotamia. Due to the authors’ identical names and thematic similarities, purportedly, Euthymius the Athonite († 1028) identified the two Symeon’s (Mesopotamian and Stylite) Teachings “On Death” as one work.
