A plague affecting people and a sickness of horses and horned cattle in Novgorod the Great.
Text originalOriginal text
В то же лѣто [6666] [1], по грѣхомъ нашимъ, моръ бысть в людех много, и конѣи множество помре, яко нѣлзѣ бяше проити до торгу сквозѣ город, ни по гребли, ни на поле, понеже бо великъ бяше смрад. Еше же и скот рогатыи помре.
Text translationEnglish translation of the text
The same year 1158 there was great mortality in the people, for our sins, and a quantity of horses died, so that it was not possible to walk to the market place through the town, nor along the dike, nor out to the fields, for the stench; horned cattle also died.
