This article provides further evidence concerning the traces of school education on Mount Athos during the Byzantine period. Taking all relevant evidence derived from previous research into account, I add information to this matter by commenting on two references relevant to school education on Mount Athos found in the Lives A and B of St Athanasius the Athonite and on another reference being connected to Prochorus Cydonesʼ stay at Megisti Lavra monastery.
