TONE
1
- Ангельскіи силы
- Let the choir of angels wonder
- original? (The podoben of Tone 1 is actually "Ликъ ангельскіи",
a sessional of the feast of the Meeting of the Lord, which is listed
below. This should not be confused with the Sedalen podoben with the
same name "Ангельскіи силы", which is the Resurrectional Troparion
[apolytikion] of Tone 6, nor should it be confused with the sticheron
automelon of Tone 6 "Ангельскіи предидите силы".) — Does
this makes sense?
- ?
- Гавріилу провещавшую ти, дево
- While Gabriel was saying
- Theotokion of the Tone 1 Resurrection troparion. (This is a surrogate
automelon (it is not the only one) for "Камени запечатану",
the Resurrectional Troparion [apolytikion] of Tone 1, which is also
an automelon and is listed below. It is not only a metrical imitation
[in Greek] of "Камени запечатану", but also a literary imitation:
Compare the last phrases, "Glory to thy Resurrection, O Christ;
glory to thy Kingdom; glory to thy dispensation, O only lover of mankind"
and "Glory to him who dwelt in thee; glory to him who came forth
from thee; glory to him who through thy giving birth hath set us free.")
- ?
- Гробъ твой Спасе
- The soldiers standing guard
- from Holy Friday and Matins of Holy Saturday; also: 1st Sedalen on
the 1st Kathisma reading at Matins, Sunday, Tone 1

(Byzantine)
- Егда пріидеши во славе

of Tone 1 is sung to this podoben.

- ?
- Ликъ ангельскіи
- Объятія отча отвертси ми
- ?
- Stephen writes: In the Octoechos, a Sessional of Mondays and Tuesdays.
The Kontakion of 10 January (St Gregory of Nyssa) is a prosomion. However,
this has the same metrical structure (in Greek) as "Ликъ ангельскіи",
except for a much longer concluding phrase, and I have one book that
lists it a prosomion of "Гроб твой". The Uspenskii Kondakar'
regards it as an automelon.
- ?
- Отчаяніе Ниневитское
- The Ninevite despair
- Sessional of Tuesday in the Octoechos. There is a prosomion on Wednesday
of the fourth week of Lent.

- Пустыныи жительство телеси Ангел
- Citizen of the desert and angel in the flesh
- 29 September (St Cyriac the Anchorite), troparion. One of the troparia
of Great Martyr Eustathius (20 September) is among the prosomia. However,
this is another surrogate automelon for "Камени запечатану"
(or is it the other way around?).
- ?
- Утробу девичу освятивъ
- Иже утробу девичу освятивъ
- Утробу девичю освяти
- Thou hast sanctified a virgin womb
- Kontakion of 2 February, Meeting of the Lord. (The Kontakion theotokion
of the Fourth Sunday in Lent is possibly among the prosomia.) It is
classified as an automelon in the Uspenskii Kondakar'.
- ?
- ???
- The Three Most Great Luminaries
- Troparion of Ss. Basil, Gregory & John Chrysostom, Jan 30 (Stephen
writes: This is one of two troparia for this feast; the other, "As
equal to the Apostles," is assigned to tone 4. I haven't found
"The three most great luminaries," as an automelon, although
that does not mean it isn't. Nikita writes: I have no idea where
I got this information. The Slavonic books only give the Tone 4 Troparion
which you mentioned. It's possible that this is a Greek text, but this
needs some verification.)

- Въ Мирех, святе
- In Myra, O Saint Nicholas, thou wast a faithful minister of God

is sometimes designated an automelon, it is a literary as well as a metrical

a surrogate automelon.
- ?
- Правило веры
- ?
- The Troparion of St John the Faster on 2 September (a different one
from that which appears in the Walsingham troparion book and the Menologion
computer program) is cited as the model for several troparia in the Greek
Menaia. However, it seems to be yet another surrogate for "Joseph
was amazed."

The sessional after the 3rd Ode of the Canon of Mattins of St Maro the

a prosomion. (This is an example of an obscure and often-missed automelon;
but I have found the reference at 14 February in an Old-Rite Menaion,

it an automelon. We will no doubt discover more such cases.)

cited in place of its proem, "Возбранное воеводе", it is the
