The article of Th. Otkhmezuri and K. Bezarashvili "The Greek Original of One Fragment of so called "Epilogue" by Ioane Petritsi" presents the investigation of the fragment of the Commentary on Oratio 43 by Gregory of Nazianzus. The Commentary belongs to the eleventh-century Byzantine Nicatas of Herakleia. The fragment is attested in the exegetical treatise which is appended to the Georgian translation of the Proclus' the "Theological Elements" and the commentaries on the work. The commentaries are composed by the thirteenth-century Georgian philosopher Ioane Petritsi.

The analysis of the fragment reveals that it is translated by the representative of the Gelati translation school using a literal method of translation. As is known this method was developed in the Gelati literary school in the twelfth century.

The article includes also the publication of the Georgian and Greek texts of the fragment.
