These hymns, often adapted from Byzantine models, reflect the Georgian liturgical tradition and later appeared in printed service books.

The Old Georgian text shows signs of multiple recensions, indicating a complex transmission history. These hymns were used in the Georgian liturgical tradition, which was heavily influenced by Byzantine models, and were later incorporated into printed service books of the Georgian Church. The edition provides no critical apparatus, translation, or commentary on liturgical rubrics; it is a diplomatic transcription intended for linguistic and textual study. The sample hymn for Peter the Georgian, a king's son, aligns with hagiographic traditions of royal saints in Georgia, and the rubric places it in December, possibly the second day of the month.","significance":"This material is significant for studying the development of Georgian liturgical hymnography and its adaptation from Byzantine sources.
