      А дьяка Истому совсем не признать в приказчике, запоясанном по кожану здоровым черезом, чуть не с аршинными кожаными ж варягами на руках, привыкших к калыму письменному.
      A dʹjaka Istomu sovsem ne priznatʹ v prikazčike, zapojasannom po kožanu zdorovym čerezom, čutʹ ne s aršinnymi kožanymi ž varjagami na rukax, privykšix k kalymu pisʹmennomu.
      But Dyak Istoma one can hardly recognize in the clerk, girdled before the leather-coat with a great bysack-belt, almost with sprawled leather Vikings on the hands, wont of written grafts.
