- 1973, Михаил Булгаков, “Глава II. Понтий Пилат”, in Мастер и Маргарита; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Master and Margarita, London: Penguin Books, 1997:
- Прокуратор понял, что там на площади уже собралась несметная толпа взволнованных последними беспорядками жителей Ершалаима, что эта толпа в нетерпении ожидает вынесения приговора и что в ней кричат беспокойные продавцы воды.
- Prokurator ponjal, što tam na ploščadi uže sobralasʹ nesmetnaja tolpa vzvolnovannyx poslednimi besporjadkami žitelej Jeršalaima, što eta tolpa v neterpenii ožidajet vynesenija prigovora i što v nej kričat bespokojnyje prodavcy vody.
- The procurator understood that there, on the square, a numberless crowd of Yershalaim citizens, agitated by the recent disorders, had already gathered, that this crowd was waiting impatiently for the announcement of the sentences, and that restless water sellers were crying in its midst.
