Summary/Abstract: The Enina codex is a lectionary of Acts and Epistles which contains not only the biblical text but also many liturgical texts. Complete troparia are frequently given in it. A comparison between troparia in the Enina codex and some other lectionaries is made. It shows the existence of a main body of troparia which are given in every manuscript. Minimal textological distinctions exist between them in the manuscripts. There are some troparia, however, where the differences are so considerable that it is obvious that in the different manuscripts are included different translations, sometimes made from different Greek originals. It is concluded that the main body of troparia was translated at first, probably by the Saint Brothers Cyril and Methodius, when they translated the lectionary of the Acts and Epistles, and then, through the centuries, other troparia were added to the lectionaries. The beginnings of the troparia, which are compared here, are given in the table.
