There ain't nothin' wrong with yr question. Altho I myself am unenthusiastic abt. indulgences, I'm not hostile to them. I actually think it's a good question. Since the teachings which support the framework of indulgences appear to be completely Latin and somewhat remote from what I understand Byzantine teachings to be, I'd find it a bit grotesque if there were many Eastern Christian prayers outfitted with indulgences.
In my books, the grotesque ain't bad.

In the past, some Eastern Catholic bishops offered indulgences for participation in certain services or activities, but this was a local practice.

I've heard that the Akathist to Mary is one, and the Paraklisis, and maybe the morning and evening prayers (not sure there)... but are there any others? I know some here might not like the question, but I have to ask. HeavenlyBlack, Section 23 (pages 82-92) of the Manual of Indulgences contains the following prayers which carry an indulgence: Byzantine:The Akathist Evening Prayer (not to be confused with Vespers) Prayer for the Deceased Armenian:A Prayer of Thanksgiving for the Church Chaldean:Prayer of the Sanctuary The Prayer "Lakhu Mara" (To You, O Lord) Coptic:Prayer of Incense Singing the Praises of Mary Ethiopian:Prayers for the Forgiveness of Sins A Prayer to be a Disciple of Christ Maronite:A Prayer for the Church A Prayer of Farewell After the Liturgy, Before Leaving the Church Syro-Antiochian:Intercession for the Deceased from Liturgy of Saint James

In the past, some Eastern Catholic bishops offered indulgences for participation in certain services or activities, but this was a local practice. Yes, especially during the Jubilee Year of 2000 when every EC cathedral was declared a place of pilgrimage. Norm #9 of the Norms on Indulgences as found in the Manual of Indulgences states the following: 1. Patriarchs can grant the following in every place,even those exempt, of their own patriarchates; in churches of their rite outside the boundaries of their patriarchate; as well as to the faithful of their rite everywhere:
1. a partial indulgence
2. the Papal Blessing with the plenary indulgence
three times a yesr according to ordinary law
and whenever a plenary indulgence is warranted
for the good of the faithful because of a
particular religious circumstance or reason.
2. Major archbishops have the same faculty. Norm #7 states that eparchial bishops have faculties to grant partial indulgences to the faithful within their eparchy or belonging to their jurisdiction living outside the eparchy as well as granting the Papal Blessing with a plenary indulgence (given at the end of a liturgy) three times each year on solemn feasts.

Indulgences sound all so... juridical and legalistic. I think I would need a spreadsheet to keep up with the accounting on them...
Most Roman Catholics couldn't explain them.
