- from the Homily against the Bogumils, 589-591:
- бо и въ лѣности живѫтъ правовѣрьнии попове ꙗкоже то вꙑ глаголѥте осѫждаѭще ѩ нъ божьства не хоулѧтъ ꙗкоже вꙑ
- bo i vŭ lěnosti živǫtŭ pravověrĭnii popove jakože to vy glagoljete osǫždajǫšte ję nŭ božĭstva ne xulętŭ jakože vy
- Even if orthodox priests lead idle lives, as you say when you condemn them, still they do not blaspheme the divinity as you do.
