Summary/Abstract: Oration “On the Plague of Hail” in the manuscript “13 Orations of Gregory the Theologian” (11th c.), is a “liturgical” version of Gregory’s Oration 16, “On Father’s Silence, Because of the Plague of Hail”. This version was made probably in Byzantium, in the course of compiling the “liturgical” collection of 16 Orations of Gregory Nazianzen (late 9th – early 10th century). It was translated into Old Church Slavonic apparently in the 10th century, which makes it a valuable source for the history of the Slavic written language of the earliest period. However, later, in the course of translating Nicetas of Herakleia’s scholia on 16 Orations of Gregory Nazianzen (late 11th – early 12th century), a discrepancy became evident between the scholia and the existing Slavic text of the Oration, which resulted in a new Slavonic translation of this Oration.
