| Wid Ket fanns fordom i de
Karbinska jurtorna
The settlements, consisting of a few log cabins and conical tents, were already called Ru jurty before the Russian colonisation of Siberia. The yurt settlements were contrasted to small towns (Ru gorodok) on the one hand and to taiga and tundra camps on the other. The Karbin yurts are mentioned in late 18th-century sources as one of the settlements of the northern Tobol’sk Tatars. Later known as the village of Karbino, it was closed down in 2013.

framställd i sittande ställng[ställning],According to Seleznev, Selezneva, and Belič (2009: 101–106), there was an astana of the sheikh Omar Alii in the Karbin yurts. The astanas, burial places of the saints, represent significant Tatar religious places and the local indigenous peoples considered them important, too.

Han håller i en högra handen en liten pinne, i den venstra en trumma, eller två pilar med en i hdera[hvardera] fastbunden klocka. Medan han sitter trummar han i långsamt med den lilla pinnen eller slår dermed sakta i nedra ändan af pelskaftet. [nog detta en stund försent] |
The sorcerer performs his magical acts through dance and multiple difficult bodily movements. He first lies in the middle of the floor on a skin, where nothing may be of iron, copper, or any other metal. He holds in his right hand a small stick, in his left a drum, or two arrows with bells fixed on each. While sitting he slowly drums with the little stick or strikes the lower end of the fur slowly. |
| Då han stiger upp, trummar han kraftigare och eller fördubblar slagen på pilarna, dansar derwid och efter sjunger. Jemti Efter honom sjunga alla närwarande; dock gifvas ställen, då andra än trollkarlen ej kan sjunga. (då samtalar han i tysthet med Gudarna).

As he rises, he drums more loudly and/or doubles the striking of the arrow, and afterwards dances and sings.
