В си же времена [1092] мнози ч[е]л[о]в[ѣ]ци оумираху различнъıмї недугъı, ӕкоже гл[агола]ху продающе корстъı: ӕко продахомъ корстъı ѡт[ъ] Ѳилипова дне до мѧсопуста з҃ тъıсѧчь. Се же бы(с)[ть] за грѣхъı наша, ӕко үмножишасѧ грѣсї наши [и] неправдъı; се же наведе на ны Б[ог]ъ, велѧ на(м)[ъ] имѣти покаӕньѥ и въстѧгнутисѧ ѡт[ъ] грѣха, и ѡт[ъ] зависти, и ѡт[ъ] прочихъ злъıхъ дѣлъ неприӕзнинъ.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

At the same time [1092], many died of various diseases, so that the undertakers asserted that in the interval between St. Philip's Day[1] and Lent[2] they had sold seven thousand coffins. This misfortune was occasioned by our sins, because our transgressions and our unrighteousness had increased. God brought this calamity upon us as a summons to repent and to renounce sin, envy, and other evil works of the devil.

  1. St. Philip's Day falls on the 14th of November
  2. In original text “мѧсопуста” (неделя перед масленицей). In 1093 this event falls on the period from the 20th to the 26th of February (so two weeks before Lent)
