The article presents the first Russian translation of the Old Georgian homily on the Treason of Judas by Saint Meletius of Antioch, CPG 3425/1. The original Georgian text preserved in one single manuscript remains inedited. We are preparing an edition of the Old Georgian original on the ground of the Athonite manuscript dating back to the tenth century. The homily is ascribed to Saint Meletius, bishop of Antioch, and is one of the cycle of nine sermons for the Holy Week surviving in Old Georgian and in Classical Armenian. The preacher proves a genuine poet while narrating the Gospel events. The present publication is conceived to be the first one in the series of works on the Caucasian heritage of Saint Meletius of Antioch.
