The discovery of copies of two texts of the synodal decisions of the Patriarchate of Constantinople concerning the metropolitan see of Kyiv dated 1686, in a manuscript from Athens ( MIET / ΙΠΑ , 22, fol. 202 r –204 r ), presents historians with an opportunity to compare it with their Russian translations done in the 17th century and to identify their possible models. Such a model could be found in the “synodal chrysobull” of 1655 conceding specific rights of church administration to Athanasius Vellerianos, metropolitan of Philadelphia, beyond the borders of his proper diocese (Hellenic Institute in Venice, n. 15 A). In the same way, while experiencing difficulties in carrying out pastoral care in the eparchy of Kyiv, the patriarchate of Constantinople conceded the rights to consecrate the church hierarchy of this see to the patriarchs of Moscow, insisting, however, on the precedence of the ecumenical patriarch in the commemorations during the liturgy
