     аще бо земьнаѥго цѣсарꙗ врагомъ иже бѫдетъ дроугъ то нѣстъ и житию достоинъ нъ съ врагꙑ ѥго оумираѥтъ

     ašte bo zemĭnajego cěsarja vragomŭ iže bǫdetŭ drugŭ to něstŭ i žitiju dostoinŭ nŭ sŭ vragy jego umirajetŭ

     If a man who allies himself to the enemies of an earthly king does not even deserve to live, but is put to death along with them

   • from Vita Constantini, 0401510-0401520:

     философь юнꙑи не любить житꙇа сего; то не ѡтьпоустимь ѥго ѡбꙿщинꙑ, нъ постригꙿше и на поповꙿство ѡтьдадимь и.

     This young Philosopher does not love this life. Let us not exclude him from the community but tonsure him and give him over to the priesthood.

• Russian: житие (žitije)
