1154^[1] That year George [Yuriy Dolgorukiy] went with the Rostovians, the Suzdalians, and all his children to Rus’, and there was a plague in his entire troops^[2], such as had never happened [before].

Translation by Dariusz Dabrowski 2

↑ The expedition took place some time before November 13, 1154, because Izyasłav Mstislavovich died then.
↑ The Laurentian Chronicle and the Moscow Chronicle of the end of the 15th Century report that the plague affected horses belonging to George's and his sons warriors.
