    I feel obliged to write that the "enarxis", as Robert Taft described it for the 8th century, is according to my knowledge not older than the 14th century and is still celebrated in this form today. The form used in the Constantinopolitan cathedral rite, as far as it was reconstructed by Oliver Strunk, had another form which was older:
