„ ... Таже ѹбо посылають по Гюрьгꙗ, сами же поѥмьше того весѣхѹ кь гробьници (О ѥже вѣшти множаѥ воѥвода силамь ѹстраꙗаше!) юже самь сьзда вь Ресавѣ. ... Таже и сьблизь тѹ нѣгдѣ исмаилитьскѹ воиньствѹ сѹштѹ иь ни животь свои ни вь чьтоже вьмѣнише, вь ѥже положити того вь мѣстѣ идѣже повелѣ.“ = Jagić, "Constantine the Philosopher and His Life of Stefan Lazarević" („Константин Филозоф и његов Живот Стефана Лазаревића“), 319.

"... Then they sent for Đurađ, and they themselves, taking (him), went toward the tomb - over this matter the commander of the army took great care - which he himself had built in Resava. ... And somewhere close by there was an Ishmaelite army. But (those who were bearing the despot) counted their own lives as nothing, (only) that they might lay him in the place he had commanded." Constantine the Philosopher, Life of Despot Stefan, 87 (translation by Lazar Mirković) = Constantine the Philosopher, Tale of the Letters (Skazanije o pismenekh) - Life of Despot Stefan Lazarević, 124.
