Abstract :
The final part of the Sermo de poenitentia by Ioannes Ieiunator (Νηστευτής) overwritten by the Palestinian Talmud tractate Horayoth can be found under two palimpsest fragments from the Cairo Genizah discovered at the end of the nineteenth century and then bought from an antiquities dealer by Agnes Smith Lewis and Margaret Dunlop Gibson. Since the early Greek version is missing, this Christian Palestinian Aramaic witness is a welcome addition as the earliest representative of this text (ca. 7th century CE).
