Reading edition
Some time after that Qała′x’s nephew was in love with the daughter of a Russian. For that the Russians killed him. They then killed the Russian’s son. They said that the Russians were going to fight them with Qała′x, and they fortified themselves. They built the walls out of big cedars. And they built the houses inside. They put flat rocks along the fronts and sides of the houses.4 And, after they had lived there for a while, the Iron people5 came in a vessel to destroy them. After they had shot at them ten times they called for Qała′x. When he answered they shot at him still more.
