Toe жe зимы[2][6786] мнoзи чeлoвѣци yмиpaxy[3]. paзличными нeдyги.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

That winter 1278 many people died of various diseases.

  1. The source does not specify the place where the unspecified disease(s) occurred. It was probably Vladimir-Suzdalian Rusia, because the source was written from this perspective.
  2. Since the event took place in winter, it can be assumed with a high degree of credibility that it began in 1278 and lasted until 1279.
  3. The term "нeдyгъ" was used in medieval Rusia with the meaning: disease, disability, defect, suffering, torment (Словарь древнерусского языка (XI–XIV вв.), vol. III, Мocквa: Институт Pyccкoгo Языкa PAH, 2002, p. 263.
