    • 1880, Фёдор Достоевский , “Книга шестая. III”, in Братья Карамазовы; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Brothers Karamazov, 1912:
      Изве́стие о кончи́не его́ неме́дленно пронесло́сь в ските́ и дости́гло монастыря́. Ближа́йшие к новопреста́вленному и кому́ сле́довало по чи́ну ста́ли убира́ть по дре́влему обря́ду те́ло его́, а вся бра́тия собрала́сь в собо́рную це́рковь.
      Izvéstije o končíne jevó nemédlenno proneslósʹ v skité i dostíglo monastyrjá. Bližájšije k novoprestávlennomu i komú slédovalo po čínu stáli ubirátʹ po drévlemu obrjádu télo jevó, a vsja brátija sobralásʹ v sobórnuju cérkovʹ.
      The news of his death spread at once through the hermitage and reached the monastery. The nearest friends of the deceased and those whose duty it was from their position began to lay out the corpse according to the ancient ritual, and all the monks gathered together in the church.
