Description

Deljan and Tihomir, miniature, en:Madrid Skylitzes, fol. 215v, detail

Text (Chronicle of en:John Skylitzes):

English: "...Then, fearing the Emperor, they rose up in revolt and proclaimed as Tsar of Bulgaria a soldier from among themselves, named Tihomir, whose bravery and common sense had already been tested. In this manner, two camps of Bulgarian rebels were formed, one of which recognized Delyan and the other - Tihomir. Delyan, however, wrote a friendly letter to Tihomir in which he invited him to join in concerted actions and per­suaded him to come. When the two Bulgarian armies united, Delyan assembled them all and called upon them to remove Tihomir if they were convinced that he himself was descended from Samuil, and wanted him to reign over them. If, however, this was undesirable to them, let them drive him away and be governed by Tihomir..." (Macedonia - Documents And Materials, I., 19. (html))
Deutsch: "...Da machten sich sie aus Furcht vor dem Kaiser einen Aufstand und riefen zum Zaren von Bulgarien einen Soldaten aus der eigenen Mitte namens Tichomir aus, der Mut und Verstand bewiesen hatte. So entstanden zwei Lager von bulgarischen Aufständischen, von denen das eine Deljan anerkannte, das andere Tichomir. Aber Deljan schrieb Tichomir einen freundschaftlichen Brief, in dem er ihn zu gemeinsamen Handeln aufforderte, und überredete ihn, zu ihm zu kommen. Als die beiden bulgarischen Heere sich vereint hatten, versammelte Deljan alle und rief sie auf, Tichomir abzusetzen, wenn sie in der Tat überzeugt wären, daß er selbst von Samuil abstammte, und wenn sie wollten, daß er über sie herrsche. Wenn ihnen das dagegen nicht genehm wäre, sollten sie ihn absetzen und sich von Tichomir regieren lassen..."
Български: "...Тогава те от страх пред императора вдигнали въстание и провъзгласили за цар на България един войник измежду свойте хора на име Тихомир, изпитан по храброст и разум. И тъй, образували се два въстанически лагера от българи, единият от които признавал Делян, а другият Тихомир. Но Делян писал на Тихомир приятелско писмо, с което го канел за задружни действия и го склонил да дойде. Когато двете български войски се съединили, Делян събрал всички и ги призовал да отстранят Тихомир, ако наистина са уверени, че самият той води потеклото си от Самуил, и искат да царува над тях. Ако ли пък това за тях е нежелателно - да премахнат него и да бъдат управлявани от Тихомир..." (Македония - сборник от документи и материали, I., 19. (html))
