    • 1834, Александр Пушкин, Кирджали; English translation from Thomas Keane, transl., Kirdjali, 1916:
      Невольника стерегли семеро турок (люди простые и в душе такие же разбойники, как и Кирджали); они уважали его и с жадностию, общею всему Востоку, слушали его чудные рассказы.
      Nevolʹnika steregli semero turok (ljudi prostyje i v duše takije že razbojniki, kak i Kirdžali); oni uvažali jevo i s žadnostiju, obščeju vsemu Vostoku, slušali jevo čudnyje rasskazy.
      The prisoner was guarded by seven Turks (common people, and in their hearts as much brigands as Kirdjali himself); they respected him and, like all Orientals, listened with avidity to his strange stories.
