Н. И. Березин,
Пешком по карельским водопадам 1903:
- кругом пустынника собира́лась бра́тия, и вско́ре возника́ло трудово́е общежи́тие, чле́ны кото́рого о́бщими си́лами расчища́ли леса, осуша́ли боло́та и заводи́ли хлебопашество и про́мыслы
- krugom pustynnika sobirálasʹ brátija, i vskóre voznikálo trudovóje obščežítije, člény kotórovo óbščimi sílami rasčiščáli lesa, osušáli bolóta i zavodíli xlebopašestvo i prómysly
- the brethren gathered in the wilderness and shortly a working community was formed whose members in joined tasks cleared forests, drained swamps and started tilths and fishing
