In this article the fundamental method of Byzantine hymnography, the method of similarity, that is a composition of new hymns on the base of an existing melodic and metrical model, and the phases of its development are analyzed regarding to the text. The Easter, Christmas, Epiphany chants from the Tropologion, main chanting-book in Palestine in 7th-9th c, were examined. At the first stage npoao^oia chants were some kind of loan translation, “calque”, of the model. Further, new texts preserved refrain of the model, as well as included some quotations from the pattern. And at the last stage a model and a new text had nothing in common, except melodic and metrical structure. Also the formation of the chants for Epiphany on the base of Easter hymnography has been shown. The analysis of the phenomenon comes with two indexes of the models from two important hymnographical sources of Byzantine rite Palestinian Tropologion Sinait. gr. МГ56-5 (8th-9th c.) and Constantinopolitan Menaion Sinait.gr.607 (9th-10th c.).
