*) In the book Bolshoi Chertezh (Knnra, rjarojieMan EdbuioS ^lepTeaci), composed by order of the Russian government in 1599 and published in Moscow in 1849, the location of the city of Tigina is described as follows: A ott. ycra Eora pihn 90 sepcT-L naja bt> '"iepHoe iwope piKa Hicrpi, a Ha HtcTpi6 rpa;;!.

III, p. 134, as well as the city of Tygin, as well as all the other cities mentioned here in the same order and with the same spelling properties as in Czerteż mentioned above (except for the correct Sroca: = Soroka), there is nothing else but to assume: either that the author of Czerteż wrote Reichersdorfer's work as older in age, if not in the Latin original, then at least in the translation Slavic, it must have been well known, or that this author used the same sources as Reichersdorfer, now lost or not yet found. In any case, it seems certain that geographical sciences were always cultivated with great passion in the eastern parts of Europe (cf. Lelewela's Geographie de raoyen age, Bruxelles, 1852), and often, as the place quoted above shows, with astonishing accuracy.

®) This place is very important because it explains to us something about the place in the documents of Alexander and Stephen the Elder.
*) When specifying individual Romanian cities mentioned both in this document and in the document previous ones, we mostly stuck to the map of Filipesek and Parteni, ed. under the following title: Charta principateloru unite alu RomanieT cu circumvecinele terrl: Banatul, Transihania, Bucovina fji Bassarabia, ed. de Georgie Filipescu-Dubau!ji Antonu Parteni-Antoninu etc. Whoever is interested in the relations between Moldova and Multan (in the broadest sense of the word) in more detail, we recommend in particular Frundeska, Dictionai-u topograficu iji statisticu allu Romaniel, BucurescI, 1872; Marienburg, Zur Berichtigung einiger alturkundlichen
