Abstract
This article off ers an analysis and a Russian translation of Macarius of Sinai’s (archbishop, from before 1230–1252) unpublished Arabic treatise “On Fasting during Cheesefare Week”. In this treatise, Macarius of Sinai responds to a query by an Arabic-speaking Orthodox Christian, probably a layman from Egypt, about the order of fasting during Cheesefare Week — the last week before the Great Lent. According to Macarius, during Cheesefare Week eating cheese and eggs is mandatory for both monastics and laymen. Strict fasting during this week (i. e., abstention not only from meat, but from all animal products) is observed only by heretics, notably the Egyptian Christian Monophysites (the Copts). Macarius’ treatise also contains a brief history of the “Fast of Heraclius” — i. e., a strict fast on the last week before the Great Lent — and of the Armenian fast “Artsivourios” (Arm. Aṙačʿavorkʿ), observed during the week of the Publican and the Pharisee. Macarius refers to a wide variety of Patristic and Church-canonical sources with which he was familiar both in their Greek original and in medieval Arabic translations. Among the sources cited by him are Antiochus of MarSaba’s Pandectes, Nikon of the Black Mountain’s Pandectes, and the “Synodic for the Sunday of Orthodoxy”.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
