Bibliographic record
Abstract
The paper deals with the insufficiently studied Greek translation of the “Kievan Synopsis” in the MS RSL. F. 256. No. 615.1 dated to the first quarter of the 19th century. Codicological information about the manuscript is provided. The composition and structure of the text are analyzed in comparison with the editions of the “Kievan Synopsis” and with the previous Greek translation of the “Kievan Synopsis” made by Hierodeacon Kosmas Iverites in 1693. It is established that the text of the MS RSL. F. 256. No. 615.1 contains an abridgment of the second edition of the “Kievan Synopsis” of 1678, however, it is not a direct translation from the Church Slavonic original. Textual and linguistic evidences are provided that the original of the Greek translation in the MS RSL. F. 256. No. 615.1 has been the Romanian translation of the “Kievan Synopsis” made by an anonymous author in the late 17th — early 18th centuries. The difference between the MS RSL. F. 256. No. 615.1 and the translation of Kosmas Iverites, due to the Romanian original, are analyzed, the reflection of the Romanian translation in the RSL. F. 256, No. 615.1 is revealed. The language and style of the Greek translation MS RSL. F. 256. No. 615 are characterized. The author assumes the translator belonged to European—educated Greek intellectuals who had lived and worked in Romania or Bessarabia in the late 18th — first quarter of the 19th century. In the Appendix there is a list of chapters of the “Kievan Synopsis” 1678, Romanian translation, and the MS RSL. F. 256. No. 615.1, where the omissions in the MS RSL. F. 256. No. 615.1 compared with the Church Slavonic and Romanian are indicated.

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.
