* On special feast days, these concluding verses of the opening vesper psalm are chanted instead of being read. **As Georgios Papadopoulos mentions, the Anoixantaria published by Phokaeus was actually composed by Antonios Sigalas in 1830 at the request of monks from Vatopedi Monastery on the Holy Mountain.
