An Eiletarion (Greek: ειλητάριο, lit. "scroll") is a vertical liturgical scroll used in the Byzantine Empire that was used to read imperial donations or liturgical celebrations.[1][2] It is featured in many mosaics and paintings during the Komnenos period, including within the monastery of Nea Moni in Chios and the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.[1][3] Although it has been mostly phased out in favor of the codex, it is still used today in some monasteries on Mount Athos.[4]
