Gostyata's letter to Yazha, dated between 1140 and 1160

Source:


The letter:

…остѧтѣ къ ѧжи съкопивъши вѣверъ…
…[ъ]жи же ѧз[ъ] ти придоу по великѣ дъ(ни)
(…)

Romanisation:

...ostęte kŭ ęži sŭkopivŭši věverŭ...
...[ŭ]ži že ęz[ŭ] ti pridu po velikě dŭ(ni)

Russian translation:

От Гостяты к Яже. Собери денег [и храни]; а я приду после Пасхи.

English translation (my own):

From Gostyata to Yazha. Collect money and keep; and I will come after Easter.
