A plague in Rusia, perhaps it's specifically about Polotsk.[1] | 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. [2] | 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[3]." It was all because of our sins. (Translation: Dariusz Dabrowski) |
- ↑ The place where the plague occurred is not given in the source.

- ↑ 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.
