The article is devoted to one textological variant found only in the Cyrillic Gospel abbreviated lectionary from The Library of the Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem (Slav 19). To two directions of the world – East and West – mentioned in Matthew 8,11, two other – North and the Sea (instead of the South) – were added. On the basis of this addition, with comparison to Luke 13,29 (where four directions of the world are mentioned), it was possible to confirm presumption of K. Ivanova that this manuscript was not written either in the Holy Land or at St. Catherine’s Monastery. Application of the word “Sea” used instead of “South” points to Balkans, including historical territories of Serbia, where this manuscript was created and later donated to one of the monasteries in the Holy Land.
