Abstract
The purpose of the article is to analyze the functioning of the variant forms of the aorist that have a diagnosing character in the evaluation of the literary tradition, with which manuscript sources are associated ( рѣхъ - рекохъ , начатъ - нача and so on). The distribution of aorist forms is studied in the most complex texts by their composition - the Old Russian collections of different structure. The author comes to the conclusion that the forms distribution depends on several factors: on the tradition, to which the protograph of the work relates, on the verbal preferences of the scribes and, in the case of the original Old Russian texts, on the author’s intentions.
