For the Great Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday see here, here and here.

For the Matins on the Great Monday one New Iadgari ms, Sin. Geo. O. 1, has:

1) For the Great Thursday Orthros:

- Usual kanon of Kosma.
- Three stichera of the Ainoi. The first is "Ἰούδας ὁ προδότης δόλιος ὤν" from the printed Triodion, the second one is "Ἰούδας ὁ παράνομος" from the printed Triodion, the third one is "Συντρέχει λοιπόν τὸ συνέδριον τῶν Ἰουδαίων" from the printed Triodion.

2) For the vespers on Great Thursday:

- Three stichera in Plagal Second. The first two are thematically related to foot-washing, the third one to the communion. The group is concluded with a Theotokion "All the nations praise you, Theotokos".

Sin. Geo. O. 14 adds four stichera for the Aposticha of the Orthros.

The midnight office follows in the mss, but this is better treated elsewhere.
