The sign was of this kind: there was a darkness on the western side of the sun; it became like a moon of five nights ; and on the eastern side it was light, then again on the eastern side there was darkness, like a moon of five nights, while on the western side it was hght; and thus it became full again.
The same year the Germans came in great strength from beyond the sea to Riga and all united there; both the men of Riga and all the Chud Land (Estonia), and the men of Pleskov (Pskov) from themselves sent a help of 200 men, and they went against the godless Lithuanians; and thus for our sins they were defeated by the godless pagans Lithuanians, and each tenth man came back to his home.
