| Näset Savoinoj Nos är mycket smalt. Här plägas Samojj[eder]. om hösten jaga med renar псецъ till [yttersta] yttersta ändan af näset. Somliga skjutas, andra klubbas i vattnet, der de klubbas. - Псецъ lifnärer sig af морскиiй зверъ och uppehåller sig i mängd vid hafvet. |
Cape Savoinoj Nos is very narrow. The Samoyeds tend to hunt Arctic foxes and reindeer at the very end of the cape in the autumn. Some are shot, others are hammered [should be: driven] into the water, where they are clubbed. The Arctic foxes eat sea mammals and reside in abundance by the sea. |
| Liksom Lappar vilja ej Samojeder försälja något åt en
främmande,
The commercial contacts were permanent and based on transgenerational continuity. See [Mezen merchants]
om han förut genom brännvin ej gjort sig till vän. Svarta räfvar försälja rika Samojj[eder]. ej för ngt[någonting], ehuru de skola hafva dem uppstapplade i stora högar. |
Like the Lapps, the Samoyeds do not want to sell anything to a stranger if he has not previously made himself a friend through vodka. Rich Samoyeds do not sell black fox skins for anything, although they can have them stacked in great heaps. |

På Waigats fångas Sam[ojeder] om sommaren моржи - skjuta de på |
In Vaigatsh, the Samoyeds hunt walruses in the summer; they shoot them on the ice (without karbas). The walruses sleep on the ice – they are peaceful, they see man, but they lie indifferently. In the summer seals are also hunted, as well as bearded seals. There are no polar bears here in the summer; they go to the mainland in the summer. |
