Cyrillization of Greek
{{Short description|none}}
Cyrillization of Greek refers to the transcription or transliteration of text from the Greek alphabet to the Cyrillic script.
The Early Cyrillic alphabet included the entire Greek alphabet: {{lang|cu|а в г д є ꙁ и ѳ ї к л м н ѯ о п р с т ѵ ф х ѱ ѡ}}. However, modern Cyrillic alphabets omit some Greek letters, so Greek names and loanwords are no longer spelled originally in modern Cyrillic orthographies.

The following system has been used to transcribe Modern Greek proper names and terms in Russian texts.{{cite book | last1=Salnova |first1=A.
