ABSTRACT
The Jews and nobles took refuge in the mighty fortress and they fortified it strongly. There were no Ukrainians among them. When the Polish troops fled from the camp, the Tartars and the Ukrainians looted the whole camp, taking an abundance of silver and gold, carts and the very best horses. Then Chmiel, together with his army and the Tartars, prepared to conquer the fortified cities in the Kingdom of Poland. And the oppressor, Chmiel, together with all his army, marched on the city of Konstantynow, and from there to Zaslaw and from there to the capital city of Ostrog—these communities had already been destroyed by the Ukrainians—and from there to Great Dubno. All the Jews and the nobles fled into the fortress, for it was formidable, having a double wall to protect it, and it was surrounded by a moat.
