The article examines the Old Church Slavonic translation of the apocryphal Acts of Paul and Thecla with a focus on the oldest extant manuscript. Only a fragment of the manuscript has survived, on the end and the miracles. The article relies on the original Greek text and later Slavonic manuscripts for comparison.
