| 1360 | The second wave of the plague (Black Death?) in Pskov | Того же лѣта [6868] [1] бысть моръ силенъ въ Плесковѣ, и прислаша послове плесковици къ владыцѣ с молбою и челобитьемъ, чтобы, ѣхавши, благословилъ бы еси нас, своих дѣтеи, и владыка, ѣхавъ, благослови их и городъ Пьсковъ съ кресты обходи, и литургии три совръши, прииха в Новъград, а плесковицамъ оттолѣ нача лучши бывати милость божиа, и преста моръ. [2] | The same year [6868] there was a great plague in Pleskov, and the men of Pleskov sent envoys to the Vladyka with prayer and beating of the forehead, that, having come, thou mightest bless us, thy children. And the Vladyka went and blessed them; and went round the town of Pskov with crosses and performed three liturgies and returned to Novgorod; and thenceforward the men of Pleskov were better deserving of God's mercy, and the plague ceased.
