Scientific paper

As part of our ongoing project to correctly identify and describe all the Byzantine sundials in Greece, the vertical marble sundial in the main church of the ``Koimesis tis Theotokou'' (Dormition of the Virgin) or ``Panaghia Scripou'' monastery, in Orchomenos, Boeotia, central Greece, is presented. It is almost certainly the oldest (and arguably the most beautiful) Byzantine sundial in the whole Greece, being contemporary to the church (874 A.D.).
