Father Justyn had requested for his research copies of the text of the Passion of St. Clement and the Encomium of St. Kliment of Ohrid to St. Clement of Rome from one of the Hilandar Monastery Slavic manuscripts by the scribe Averkii, HM.SMS.441. This is one of a set of manuscripts containing panegyrical texts (Serb панагирик или тржаставник; Russ торжественник; Bulg панегирик) that was commissioned by Hilandar Monastery and dated to 1623-1624.
