The Old Georgian treatise Discourse on Articles (Sit'q'ua Art'ront'at'vis) survives in two witnesses:
A (Athos, Iviron A-6, ff. 32r–37r, 12th–13th c.) and S (Tbilisi, S-1141, ff. 106r–108v, 1541 CE).
It addresses rendering the Greek definite article (ἄρθρον) in article-less Georgian, detailing paradigms across three genders,
numbers (singular, dual, plural), and cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative), with emphasis on
Christological distinctions (e.g., ὁ θεός, the one God, distinguished from θεός, a god).
This Level 4 digital scholarly edition employs TEI P5 XML and Canonical Text Services (CTS) for a critical text,
typed apparatus (223 variants: orthographic, lexical, morphological, omission, addition), lexicon of 158 terms
(linked to Logeion), and OLiA semantic markup enabling Linked Open Data interoperability.
Stemmatic analysis identifies A as the archetype or near-copy, with S descending
from a 14th–15th-century damaged intermediary (α), evidenced by omissions and mechanical errors.
