To say "the discovery didn't surprise the monks"
is bogus
A) because you don't know that, and
B) because you don't show that they (all?!) even knew of the "discovery," which Smith didn't inform them of, and
C) which wasn't a "discovery" but a plant.

Re: Greek Monks Who Thought the Letter to Theodore was in the Mar Saba Monastery Before Morton Smith Arrives
If Seraphim was somewhere at Mar Saba in 1958, that does not solve the question.
Again, nobody claimed to know the Letter before 1958.

Re: Greek Monks Who Thought the Letter to Theodore was in the Mar Saba Monastery Before Morton Smith Arrives
As I have repeatedly written, the front cover, the front page, and the spine binding had all gone missing, erasing potential marks of previous, non Mar Saba ownership.

On the analogy of no D-Day until D-Day,
no "Letter" before "Letter."
no "Letter" before "Letter."

Retrospectively, maybe someone, like you, imagines.
Evidence before 1958, absolutely and utterly, none.

Again, no person said the manuscript was at Mar Saba before 1958.
Tselikas is additionally relevant for indicating modern forgery.

Re: Greek Monks Who Thought the Letter to Theodore was in the Mar Saba Monastery Before Morton Smith Arrives
Tselikas is relevant because he evaluated the hand as fake, modern imitation.
Among other inaccuracies, e.g.,: "everyone" there 1958-1960 knew they had "a value manuscript".......utterly evidence-less, besides false and ridiculous.
