It reads, "If a Christian kills a Russian, or if a Russian kills a Christian, the friends of the dead have a right to seize the murderer and kill him." This treaty was concluded at Constantinople, between the emperor and the embassadors of Igor.

Imperial embassadors were sent with the written treaty to Kief.

Igor, with imposing ceremonies, ascended the sacred hill where was erected the Russian idol of Peroune, and with his chieftains took a solemn oath of friendship to the emperor, and then as a gage of their sincerity deposited at the feet of the idol their arms and shields of gold.

The Christian nobles repaired to the cathedral of St.Elias, the most ancient church of Kief, and there took the same oath at the altar of the Christian's God.

The renowned Russian historian, Nestor, who was a monk in the monastery at Kief, records that at that time there were numerous Christians in Kief.
Igor sent the imperial embassadors back to Constantinople laden with rich presents.
