 От история Ханаонава и предела рекома Арфаксадова, перваго сына Ноева рожьшагося по потопе. По отца своего Ноя благословению разделися вся вселенная на три чясти[1] тремъ сыномъ его: Симу, Хаму и Афету. Извержеся от нерадениа Хамъ от благословениа отца своего Ноя,[2] зане не покры наготы отца своего Ноа, упившася виномъ. Егда истрезвися Ной от вина и вразуме, елико сътвори ему сынъ его меньший, и рече: «Проклят буди Хамъ, да будет рабъ братома своима». И благослови дву сыновъ своих Сима н Афета, иже покрыша наготу отца своего опаки зрящи, наготы же не видеша. И благослови Симова сына Арфаксада, яко да вселится в пределех Ханаоновых. И родишася ему две близняте: первому имя Мерсемъ, второму Хусъ,[3] — сии начялницы Египту. И умножившимся от них родомъ по коленомъ. Отлучися Хусъ во глубочайшая страны Иньдея и разпространися тамо на востоце; Мерсу же умножишася племена даже до сей страны. Афету же излишая племена от северных стран даже и до полунощиа. И воста некий началникъ того же рода именемъ Фарисъ в Калаврийских странах и созда град во имя свое именемъ Арфакса.[4] Правнукъ же его именемъ Гайдуварий, сей первый написа астрологию въ Асирии в пределех Симовех, и по семъ Сеостръ.[5] Сей же Сеостръ первее всехъ на земли въцарися въ Египте, и по колену его многая лета преминушя. И от его роду нача царствовати Филиксъ,[6] и тъй пооблада вселеньною. По Филиксе же, многимъ летомъ минувшимъ, воста некий царь въ Египте от того же рода именемъ Нактанавъ влъхвъ, сей роди Александра Макидоньскаго от Алимъпияды, жены Филиповы.[7] Сей вторый пооблада вселенною лет 12, и всех летъ живота его 32,[8] скончася и предаде Египетъ ряднику своему Птоломею.[9] Мати же Александрова по смерти сына своего возвратися къ отцу своему Фолу, царю ефиопьскому. Фолъ же вдастъ ю ко второму браку за Виза,[10] сродника Нектонавова. Виз же роди от нея дщерь и нарече ю Аньтия; и созда град в Сосвенех и нарече имя граду в свое имя и в дщери своея Визаньтия,[11] иже ныне именуемъ Царьград. От Александра Макидоньскаго до Птоломеа Прокаженаго премину Птоломеевъ 22.

 Птоломей же Прокаженый име дщерь премудру именемъ Клеопатру,[12] и та правяше Египетьское царство под отцемъ своимъ Птоломеемъ. И в то время Иулие, кесарь римъский,[13] посла зятя своего Антонина, стратига римъскаго,[14] на Египетъ воиньством. Антонину же пришедшу со многими вои по суху и по морю на брань Египту. Посла же Клеопатра ко Антонину, стратигу римскому, послы своя со многими дарми, глаголющи: «Веси ли, о стратиже, египетьское богатьство? Лутше ми есть с покоем царствовати, нежели с малоумьемъ излияти крови человеческиа». Умили же ся Антонинъ и прият Египетъ без крови, и посяже за нь царица Клеопатра премудраа; и въцарися Антонинъ въ Египте. И услышавъ Иулие, кесарь римъский, Антониново презорство, и постави брата своего Августа стратигом[15] над ипаты, и посла его с четыре браты своими и со всею областью римскою на Антонина. И пришед Августъ, взят Египетъ, и уби зятя своего Антонина, самъ седе вь Египте. Взят же и Клеопатру царицу, дщерь Птоломеа Прокаженаго, и посла ю в Римъ в кораблехъ со многимъ богатством египетским и Клеопатру. Она же глаголющи: «Лутши ми есть царици египетьской смерть прияти, нежели пленьницею приведеной быти в Римъ», — и умори себе ядомъ аспидовым.

 Восташа же на Улия ипаты: Врутосъ, и Помъплий, и Крас,[16] и убиста его в Риме. И скоро прииде весть къ Августу вь Египет о Улиеве смерти; и опечалися зело о братне смерти. И скоро созва вся воеводы, и чиноначялники, и нумеры, и препоситы,[17] и возвещает имъ смерть Иулия, кесаря римъскаго. Они же единогласно реша, римляне и египтяне: «О преславный стратиже, Улия кесаря брата твоего от смерти въставити не можем, а твое величество веньчаяемъ венцемъ римъскаго царства». И облекоста его во одежду Сеострову, начялнаго царя Египту, в порфиру и висонъ,[18] и припоясаста его поясомъ дерьмлидом,[19] и возложиста на главу его митру Поря,[20] царя иньдейскаго, юже принеслъ Александръ Макидоньский от Иньдиа, и приодеша его по плещема окроиницею царя Филикса, владущаго вселенною; и рядостне въскликнушя велиимъ гласомъ: «Радуйся, Августе, царю римъский и всеа вселенныа!»

 В лето 5457 Августу, кесарю римъскому, грядущу въ Египетъ с своими ипаты, яже бе власть египетьская рода суща Потоломеева. И срете его Иродъ Антипатров,[21] творя ему велие послужение вои, и пищею, а дарми. Предаде же Богь Египетъ и Клеопатру в руце Августу. Августъ же начятъ дань подкладати на вселенней. Постави брата своего Патрикиа[22] царя Египту; Августалиа, другаго брата своего,[23] постави Александрии властодержца; Ирода же Антипатрова асколонитянина за многия ради его почести постави царя надъ июдеи въ Иерусалиме; Асию же поручи Евлагерду,[24] сроднику своему; Алирика же, брата своего, постави в поверъшии Истра;[25] и Пиона постави во Отоцех Златых, иже ныне наричются Угрове;[26] а Пруса,[27] сродника своего, в брезе Вислы реце во граде Марборок, и Турнъ, и Хвоини, и пресловый Гданескъ, и ины многи грады по реку, глаголемую Немонъ, впадшую в море. И житъ Прусъ многа времена летъ и до четвертаго роду; и оттоле и до сего времяни зоветься Прусьская земля.

 И в то время некий воевода новгородьцкий именемъ Гостомыслъ[28] скончеваетъ свое житье и созва вся владелца Новагорода и рече имъ: «О мужие новгородьстии, советъ даю вамъ азъ, яко да пошлете в Прусьскую землю мужа мудры и призовите от тамо сущих родов к себе владелца». Они же шедше в Прусьскую землю и обретоша тамо некоего князя именемъ Рюрика,[29] суща от рода римъскаго Августа царя. И молиша князя Рюрика посланьницы от всехъ новгородцовъ, дабы шелъ к нимъ княжити. Князь же Рюрикъ прииде в Новъгород, имея с собою два брата: единому имя Труворъ, а второму Синеусъ, а третий племенникъ его именемъ Олегъ.[30] И оттоле нареченъ бысть Великий Новградъ; и начя княз великий Рюрикъ первый княжити в немъ.

 А великого князя Рюрика четвертое колено великий княз Володимеръ,[31] иже просветилъ Русьскую землю святымъ крещеньемъ в лето 6496. А от великого князя Владимира четвертое колено княз великий Владимир Всеволодич Манамах,[32] правнукъ. Егда седе в Киеве на великомъ княжении, советъ начятъ творити съ князми своими и съ боляры и велможи, тако рекъ: «Егда азъ малъ есмь преже мене царствовавшихъ и хоругви правящих скипетра великиа Русиа, якоже князь великий Олегъ ходил и взял съ Цариграда великую дань на вся воа своа и здравъ въсвояси возвратися; и потомъ Всеславъ Игоревич, княз великий, ходил и взял на Коньстянтине граде тяжьчайшую дань.[33] А мы есмя Божиею милостью настолницы своих прародителей и отца моего великого князя Всеволода Ярославичя[34] и наследницы тоя же чести от Бога. Ныне съвета ищу от васъ, моея полаты князей, и боляр, и воеводъ, и всего христолюбиваго воиньства; да превознесется имя святыа живоначалныа Троици вашея храбрости могутьством Божьею волею с нашимъ повелениемъ; и кий ми советъ противъ воздаете?» Отвещаста же великому князю Владимиру Всеволодичю его князи, и боляре, и воеводы: «Сердце царево в руце Божьи, и мы вси есмо в твоей воле». Княз же великий Владимир събирает воеводы благоискусны и благоразумны и поставляет чиноначалники над различными воиньствы — тысущники, сотники, пятдесятники над различными чинми боренья; и съвокупи многия тысяща воиньства, и отпусти их на Фракию, Цариграда области; и плениша я доволно и возвратишася съ многимъ богатеством.

 Тогда бе въ Цариграде благочестивый царь Константинъ Манамах,[35] и в то время брань имея с персы и с латыною. И съставляетъ советъ мудре и царьски, отряжает послы к великому князю Владимиру Всеволодичю: Неофита митрополита ефесьскаго[36] и с нимъ два епископа, милитиньска и митилиньска, и стратига Антипа антиохийскаго, игемона иерусалимъскаго Еустафия, и иных своих благородных. От своея же выя снемлет животворящий крестъ от самого животворящаго древа, на немъже распятся владыка Христос. Снемлет же от своея главы венець царьский и поставляет его на блюде злате. Повелеваетъ же принести крабьицу сердоликову, из неяже Августия, царь римъский, веселяшеся, и ожерелье, иже на плещу своею ношаше, и чепь от злата аравьска исковану, и ины многи дары царьскиа. И предаде их митрополиту Неофиту сь епископы и своимъ благороднымъ посланникомъ, и посла их к великому князю Владимиру Вселодичю, моля его и глаголя: «Прийми от насъ, о боголюбивый благоверный княже, сиа честныа дарове, иже от начатка вечных летъ твоего родьства и поколенья царьский жребий, на славу и честь и на венчание твоего волнаго и самодержавнаго царствиа. И о немже начнут тя молити наши посланницы, что мы от твоего благородиа просим мира и любве, яко церкви Божьа безмятежна будет, и все православие в покои пребудет под сущею властью нашего царства и твоего волнаго самодержавъства великиа Русиа, яко да нарицаешися отселе боговенчаньный царь, венчанъ симъ царьскимъ венцемъ рукою святейшаго митрополита киръ Неофита съ епископы». И от того времени княз великий Владимир Всеволодичь наречеся Манамах, царь великиа Русия. И пребысть потомъ прочаа времена съ царемъ с Констянтином в смирении и любве. И оттоле и доныне темъ венцемъ венчаются царскимъ велиции князи володимерьстии, егоже прислал греческий царь Коньстянтинъ Манамах, егда ставятся на великое княжение русьское.

 В царство же Констянтина Манамаха отлучися от Цариграда церкви, и от правыа веры отпаде римъский папа Формос[37] и уклонися в латыньство. Царь же Коньстянтинъ и святейший патриархъ киръ Иларие[38] повеле събратися собору в царствующий градъ — святейшии патриарси александръский, и антиохийский, иерусалимъский. И с ихъ советомъ благочестивый царь Коньстянтин Манамах съ святымъ вселеньскимъ соборомъ четырми патриархы, митрополиты и епископы, иереи извергоша папино имя ис поминаней церковных и отлучишя его от четырех патриархъ. И от православныа веры отпадша, и от того времене и доныне лытають, нарекошася латына. Мы же, православнии христиане, исповедаемъ Святую Троицу безначялнаго Отца съ единородным Сыномъ и с пресвятымъ единосущнымъ и животворящимъ Духом въ единомъ Божестве веруемъ, и славимъ, и покланяемся.

Annotation:
 [1] От история Ханаонава и предела рекома Арфаксадова... - By the blessing of their father Noah, the whole universe was divided into three parts... - The entire beginning of the "Tale" goes back to the biblical book of Genesis. The land of Canaan is the biblical name of Palestine, the proper name Canaan is the youngest son of Ham, the forefather of the Canaanites, prophetically cursed by Noah as the heir of Ham. According to biblical legend, Noah, saved by God from the flood, divided the whole earth between his three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth. Therefore, all people on earth are their descendants. Arphaxad - according to biblical genealogy, the third son of Shem, from whom the ancestors of the Jews descended.
 [2] Извержеся от нерадениа Хамъ от благословениа отца своего Ноя... - According to the biblical legend, Noah, having drunk wine from the vineyard he had cultivated, lay naked in his tent. Ham, seeing his father, came out of the tent and told his brothers about it. Shem and Japheth, taking clothes, entered the tent and, without looking at their father, covered his nakedness. In the apocryphal legend about Noah it is said that Ham 'laughed at the nakedness of his father.'
 [3] И родишася ему две близняте: первому имя Мерсемъ, второму Хусъ... - These names are known from biblical history (Gen. 25:24). Mersem (Mesrem, Mesrom) and Hus are descendants of Ham. According to the chronographs, taken from the Chronicle of John Malalas, Mesrem was the grandson of Ham and the first ruler of Egypt.
 [4] И воста... Фарисъ в Калаврийских странах и созда град... - Calavrian countries - Calabria, a region in the south of Italy.

The latter contains an error in the source of the 'Tale' - the Epistle of Spyridon-Savva. The same reason explains the contradictory information about Seostre as the successor of Ganduvari. Seostre (Feost, Fest), according to the information of ancient Russian chronology, reigned in Egypt after Hermes, who in turn ruled Egypt after Mesrem (Mesrom).
 [6] И от его роду нача царствовати Филиксъ... - In the chronographic collection (the "Hellenic Chronicler"), Philistus is named as the successor of Festus (Seostrus) on the Egyptian throne. Obviously, he can be identified with Felix, named in the "Tale".

 From the history of Canaan and Arphaxad, the first descendant of Noah born after the flood:
 By the blessing of Noah's father, the entire universe was divided into three parts between his three sons - Shem, Ham and Japheth.
 For his negligence, Ham was deprived of his father's blessing, because he did not cover the nakedness of his father Noah, when was drunkd with wine.
 When Noah sobered up from the wine and learned about nakedness own and negligence of Ham, he said: 'May Ham be cursed, may he be a Slave  to his brothers.' And he blessed only his two sons, Shem and Japheth, who covered their father, not looking at him, so as not to see his nakedness.
 Own son Shem's son Arphaxad he blessed, that he might dwell in the land of Canaan.
 And Arphaxad were borned two twin sons: the name of one was Mersem, the name of the other was Hus, and they and were the founders of Egypt.
 And from them came numerous descendants according for their families. Khus went to the far reaches of the Indian country, and his descendants from there spread to the east; and the descendants of Mers from Egipt spread right up to us.

 The descendants of Japheth populated the northern countries befor the far north. And  did reigned; in the Calavrian countries one from suc the family, named Faris, and founded a city in own name, called Arfax.
 His great-grandson, named Gaiduvarius, was the first creator of astrology in Assyria, in the dominions of the descendants of Shem, and after him was Seostrus. This same Seostre and his descendants was the first to reign on earth from Egypt more years through. From his family came also Felix, who have possessed The Entire Universe.

After Felix, after many years, a certain king reigned in Egypt, who came from the same family, named Nectanas, he was a sorcerer, and from him Alexander the Great was born to Olympias, the wife of Philip. Alexander was lived thirty-two years in all the second ruler of the universe and held it for twelve years, and he before his death he handed over Egypt to his general Ptolemy. After the death of her son, Alexandra's mother returned to own father, Pholus, the king of Ethiopia. Her father Pholus gave her in marriage a second time to Byz, a relative of Nectanas. She gave birth for Byz daughter, and named her Antia; and hi founded a city in Sosveny, and named this city Byzantium, which is now called Constantinople, in honor of her daughter Antia and self name Byz.

 From Alexander the Great there passed twenty-two generations of the Ptolemy family to Ptolemy the Leper. Ptolemy the Leper had wise daughter named Cleopatra, and she ruled the Egyptian kingdom together with her father Ptolemy.

 And at this time Julius, the Roman Caesar, sent his son-in-law Antony, the Roman strategos, to fight in Egypt. 
 When Antony came by sea and land with a huge army to capture Egypt, Cleopatra sent her ambassadors with rich gifts to Antony of the Roman strategos, saying: 'Do you know, strategos, about the wealth of Egypt? It is better to reign in peace than to shed human blood in madness.'
 Antony took pity and took Egypt without bloodshed, and the wise queen Cleopatra married him; and Antony reigned in Egypt.
 Julius, the Roman Caesar, hearing of Antony's self-will, appointed own brother Augustus as strategos over the generals and sent him with his four other brothers and with all the Roman force against Antony. And when Augustus came, he conquered Egypt, and killed his son-in-law Antony, and himself reigned in Egypt. He took also Queen Cleopatra, the daughter of Ptolemy the Leper, did want sent her to Rome on ships together with the captured great wealth of Egypt. But She said: 'It would be better for me to die as an Egyptian queen than to be brought as a prisoner to Rome.' and killed herself was snake venoms.
 Then against Julius to rebelled the commanders Brutus, Pompey and Crassus   and killed him in Rome. And soon the news of Julius' death reached; into Egypt into Augustus, and he was greatly saddened by the news of his brother's death. He without delay summoned all the commanders, and the military leaders, and the numers, and the prepositi, and oficial informed them of the death of Julius, Caesar of Rome. And then They all, and Romans and Egyptians, unanimously exclaimed: 'O glorious strategist, we cannot resurrect your brother Julius Caesar, but we crown your majesty with the crown of the Roman kingdom.' And they dressed him in the robes of Seostrus, the first king of Egypt: in purple and fine linen, and girded him with a sash of dermis, and placed on his head the mitre of Porus, the king of India, which Alexander the Great had brought from India, and threw over his shoulders the mantle of King Felix, who ruled over the whole universe, and cried they out with one voice: 'Rejoice, Augustus, you from this time king of Rome and the whole universe!'

 This did be the year 5457 (51 BC) then  Augustus, Caesar of Rome, went to Egypt, where this time the rulers the Egyptian family of the Ptolemies reigned, with their commanders.There Herod, the son of Antipater, met him, and helping him with great zeal and soldiers, and food, and gifts.
 The God handed Egypt and Cleopatra into the hands of Augustus. So is Augustus began to collect tribute from The Entire Universe.

He made his brother Patricius king of Egypt; Augustalis, his other brother, he made ruler of Alexandria; and Herod, the son of Antipater, an Ascalonian, because he had honored him, he made king over the Jews in Jerusalem; Asia he entrusted to Eulagerd, his kinsman; Iliric, his brother, he made ruler of the upper reaches of the Ister; Pion he established as ruler of the Golden Lands, which are now called the Hungarian Land; and Prus, his kinsman, he sent to the banks of the Vistula River, to the city of Malbork, and Torun, and Chwoini, and the famous Gdansk, and to many other cities along the river called the Neman, which flows into the sea.

 The Pruss Family powering in this place for many years, up to the fourth generation; hence, from that time until the present day, this place is called The Prussian Land.
 At that time, certain Novgorod governor named Gostomysl, before his death, summoned all the rulers of Novgorod and said to them: 'Oh, men of Novgorod, I advise you to send wise men to the Prussian land and call self pow a ruler from the local clan.'
 Then rylers of  Novgorod did send expedition to the Prussian land and found there a certain prince named Rurik, who was from the clan Pruss relative of the Roman family of Imperor Augustus.

 And the messengers from all the Novgorodians begged Prince Rurik to come and reign over them. And Prince Rurik came to Novgorod with two brothers; one of them was named Truvor, and the second was Sineus, and the third was his nephew named Orvard Odd /rus Oleg/ . From then on Novgorod began to be called the Great; and the great prince Rurik /brather of Orvard Odd, Ásmund, koning/ first from clan Pruss began to reign and living over there.

 Grand Duke Vladimir Sun, this is fourth generation from Grand Duke Rurik - he is a great enlightener of the Rus land with to baptism Rus the moral and legal norms of Rimskogo Right in the year 6496 (988).

 And from the Grand Duke Sun Vladimir the fourth generation is his great-grandson Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh.
 When he took the great reign in Kyiv, he began to consult with his princes, and with the nobles, saying: 'Am I really more insignificant than those who reigned before me and ruled the banners of the kingdom of great Rus', such as the great prince Odd, who went and took a large tribute from Constantinople for all his warriors and returned home safely, or like Vseslav Igorevich, the great prince, who also went to Constantinople and also imposed an even heavier tribute on it. And we, by the grace of God, from inherited the throne of our ancestors and my father, the Grand Duke Vsevolod Yaroslavich, and are were heirs to the same honor from God. Now I await advice from you, my court of princes, boyars, and governors, and from all the Christ-loving army; may the name of the Holy Life-giving Trinity be glorified by the power of your courage with God's help and our command; what advice will you give me?'
 And this is as the princes, boyars, and commanders answered the Grand Duke Vladimir Vsevolodovich: 'The Tsar’s heart is in the hand of God, and we are all in your power.'
 Then the Grand Duke Vladimir Monomakh of Kiev gathers together skilled and wise commanders and commanders over the military detachments - thousand-men, centurions, fifties; and, having gathered many thousands of warriors, he sends them to Thrace, the region of Constantinople; and they ocupad most of it, to take and rich booty and returned with it in Kiev.

 At that time, the pious him relative Constantine Monomakh, Great Constantine of Imperor of Roma Imperia from ruled in Constantinople and he was then fighting with the Persians and barbarians of Barbarossa. And he to made not popular but the wise Imperor decision - he to sent ambassadors to the Grand Duke Vladimir Vsevolodovich: Neophyte, Metropolitan of Ephesus, and with him two bishops, of Mytilene and Mytilene, and the Antiochian strateges Antipas and the Jerusalem governor Eustathius and his other noble dignitaries.
 Before thet From his neck he removed the life-giving cross, made from the life-giving tree on which the Prophed Christ himself was crucified; from his head he took the royal crown  and placed it on a golden platter; also he ordered that they bring the carnelian cup from which Augustus of Roman Imperor, drank wine, and the necklace that he wore on his shoulders, and the chain forged from Arabian gold, and many other Roma Imperia gifts.
 And he handed them over to Metropolitan Neophyte with the bishops and other noble envoys, and sent them to the Grand Duke Vladimir Vsevolodovich of Kiev, with such speech: 'Accept from Us, O God-loving and pious prince, for your glory and honor these honorable gifts, which from the very beginning of your lineage and your ancestors have been the royal lot, so that you may be crowned with them into throne of your free and autocratic kingdom.
 Accept also what our messengers will pray to you for - we ask for peace and love from your greatness: then the Church of God will be established throughout the world, and all peopels will remain in peace under the authority of my kingdom and also and your free autocracy at great Rus', so that now crowned with this royal crown by the hand of the most holy Metropolitan, Kir Neophytos with the bishops, you will be called the God-crowned Tsar as brother of Imperor of Roma Imperia.'

 And from then on, the Grand Duke Vladimir Vsevolodovich of Kiev began to be called Grand Duke Vladimir Monomakh as the Tsar of Great Rus'.
 And from then on he, him dezedents dwelt with Great Constantine of Roma Imperia and hem other Roma Imperia Kings and Dukes in peace and brothers love.
 And from then on and until now, the desidents great prince of Vladimir Monomakh of Kiev are crowned to tron with the Imperor crown that did sent by The Great Constantine Monomakh of Roma Imperia when they are appointed to the great reign of Rus'.
 At this time Roma of the Roman Empire was occupied by the barbarians of Frederick Barbarossa. Frederick Barbarossa usurpating title Imperor of Holy Roman Imperia and Pope Adrian IV of Pavia accepted his submission. Despite the fact that Frederick Barbarossa and had originally the title of Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the Roman Empire ceased to be an and empire, and great and his title was reduced to the King of Italy, but belonging the Christian Roman Charch from Frederick Barbarossa's as of king from barbars remained.

And on their advice, the pious Great Constantine Monomakh of Imperor of Roman Imperia with the Holy Ecumenical Council of four patriarchs, metropolitans, bishops and priests excluded the name of the pope from church commemorations and excommunicated him from the patriarchats.
 Thus a split occurred among the adherents of Christianity, and the Emperor Constantine the Great of the Roman Empire became Great as a great reformer and founder of the first in the history of mankind confederation jurisdiction of all regions of the former Roman Empire based on democratic principles for all Kingdoms from Roman Imperia based on common moral and legal norms and interconnected by related knots and laws.
