Language

[edit]

This article says that this work comes down to us in Greek, but this appears to refer to complete texts.

  1. In what language is the oldest surviving fragments of the composition?  Also Greek?
  2. In what language did the composition originate?

Title (Greek)

[edit]

This work comes down to us in Greek, and yet there is no mention here of how the work is referred to commonly in Greek.  Worse yet, there is not even a mention of this work on the Greek Wikipedia, which I could otherwise use (in conjunction with Google Translate) to get even a general idea of how this work is referred to commonly in Greek.  allixpeeke (talk) 09:26, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While the book was written in Greek, it is not part of the canon used by the Church of Greece. I am not aware of available editions of the work in Greece itself. Dimadick (talk) 16:53, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
