- from the Homily against the Bogumils, 192-196:
нъ чьто глаголѭтъ еретици мꙑ паче васъ бога молимъ и бъдимъ и молимъ сѧ а не живемъ въ лѣности ꙗкоже и вꙑ- nŭ čĭto glagoljǫtŭ eretici my pače vasŭ boga molimŭ i bŭdimŭ i molimŭ sę a ne živemŭ vŭ lěnosti jakože i vy
- What do the heretics say? ‘We pray to God more than you do, we keep vigils and prayers, we do not live in laziness as you do.’
