- 1973, Михаил Булгаков [Mikhail Bulgakov], “Глава XVI. Казнь”, in Мастер и Маргарита; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Master and Margarita, London: Penguin Books, 1997:
- Пехоти́нцы каппадоки́йской кого́рты отдави́ли в сто́роны ско́пища люде́й, му́лов и верблю́дов, и а́ла, рыся́ и поднима́я до не́ба бе́лые столбы́ пы́ли, вы́шла на перекрёсток, где сходи́лись две доро́ги: ю́жная, веду́щая в Вифлее́м, и се́веро-за́падная — в Я́ффу.
- Pexotíncy kappadokíjskoj kogórty otdavíli v stórony skópišča ljudéj, múlov i verbljúdov, i ála, rysjá i podnimája do néba bélyje stolbý pýli, výšla na perekrjóstok, gde sxodílisʹ dve dorógi: júžnaja, vedúščaja v Viflejém, i sévero-západnaja — v Jáffu.
- The infantry of the Cappadocian cohort had pushed the conglomeration of people, mules and camels to the sides, and the ala, trotting and raising white columns of dust in the sky, came to an intersection where two roads met: the south road leading to Bethlehem, and the north-west road to Jaffa.
