In a previous publication (Festschrift Eduard Sachau, Berlin, 1915), K.V. Zettersteen published an edited Syriac text of a homily by Amphilochius of Iconium about Basil the Great. The Syriac text was also published by Paul Bedjan in his Acta Martyrum et Sanctorum. In the present article, Zettersteen offers a German translation of the text accompanied by critical notations indicating variant readings between Bedjan’s text and the text of the manuscript from which he published his own version.
