From Viacheslav Vladimirovich to Iziaslav Mstislavich, 1151

4.

сыноу богъ ти помози. ѡже на мене єси чьсть възложилъ. то аще бы ты и давьно тако оучинилъ. то ци мене єси почьстилъ. бога єси почьстилъ. аже дѣєши: ты мои еси отьць а ты мои и сынъ оу тебе ѡтьца нѣтоу а оу мене сына нѣтоуть. а ты же мои сынъ ты же мои братъ. (418)

Translation
Son! God help you, for you have honoured me. But if you had done so long ago, would it have been me who you honoured? It would have been God who you honoured. And when you say, "You are my father", then you are my son. You have no father, and I have no son. And so you're my son and you're my brother.

2.

богъ помози зѧтю нашемоу королеви. и братоу нашемоу болеславу. и сынови нашемоу индриховѣ. ѡже межи нами добра хочете но ѡбаче ѡже ны сѧ велите мирити. то не стоите на нашеи земли. а жизни нашеѧ ни селъ нашихъ не гоубите. нъ ать изѧславъ поидеть въ свои володимиръ. а вы въ своѭ землѭ. поидите. а вѣ сѧ своимь братъмь и сынъмь изѧславъмь сами. вѣдаємы (388).

Bogŭ pomozi ziatiu našemu korolevi i bratu našemu Boleslavu i synovi našemu Jindrixovi, ože meži nami dobra chočete. No obače ože ny sia velite miriti, to ne stojite na našeji zemli a žizni našeja ni selŭ našixŭ ne gubite. Nŭ atĭ Iziaslavŭ pojĭdetĭ vŭ svojĭ Volodimirŭ, a vy vŭ svoju zemliu pojĭdite. A vie sia svojimĭ bratŭmĭ i synŭmĭ Iziaslavŭmĭ sami viedajemy.

Translation
God help our son in law, the king, and our brother Boleslaw, and our son Jindrich, as you want to make peace between us. But if you require us to make peace, then do not stand on our land and do not destroy our property and our villages. But let Iziaslav go to his Vladimir, and you go to your own land. And my brother and I with the son Iziaslav, we shall settle it down.
