1092, November 14 – 1093 Epidemic in the whole Rus.   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. [1] At the same time [1092], many died of various diseases, so that the undertakers asserted that in the interval between St. Philip's Day[2] and Lent[3] 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. [4]

VN: 7000
A plague in Rusia, perhaps it's specifically about Polotsk.[5]   O мopy. B тo лѣто [6600] мopъ бяшe людем, яко же глаголaxy продающеи гpoбы: „яко oт Филипова заговенья до мясопустa великогo 7000 гpoбъ продахом”. Ce жe вce бысть гpexъ paди нашиx. [6] About the plague. This year [6600] plague was among the people. As the coffin sellers said: "we sold 7,000 coffins from Philip's Fast to Lent[7]." It was all because of our sins. (Translation: Dariusz Dabrowski)

  7. The time of the plague's appearance was precisely determined here. It took place between the Philip’s Fast (i.e. in the period starting on November 14 and ending with Christmas) and Lent, i.e. 8 weeks before Easter. Easter in 1093 fell on April 17. So the plague ended around the end of February this year.
