translation.el: Όταν φύγανε οι Βούλγαροι, δε βρήκαμε πουθενά αυτή τη λατρευτή αδερφή· βάλανε σ' ένα αμάξι τη μητέρα μου, τον πατέρα μου και μένα, δυο υπηρέτριες και τρία παιδιά σφαγμένα, για να μας πάνε να μας θάψουνε σε μια εκκλησιά Ιησουιτών, δύο λεύγες μακρυά από τον πύργο των προγόνων μου.
translation.en: When the Bulgarians retired we searched in vain for my dear sister. She was nowhere to be found; but the bodies of my father, mother, and myself, with two servant maids and three little boys, all of whom had been murdered by the remorseless enemy, were thrown into a cart to be buried in a chapel belonging to the Jesuits, within two leagues of our family seat.
