P. 108 a. Compare the Great-Russian bylinas about Il’ja of Murom and his
son (daughter). Il’ja is captain of the march-keepers, Dobrynja second
in command. No man, on foot or on horse, no bird or beast, undertakes to
pass. But one day a young hero crosses, neither greeting nor paying
toll. One of the guards, commonly Dobrynja, is sent after him, but comes
back in a fright. Il’ja takes the matter in hand, has a fight with the
young man, is worsted at first, but afterwards gets the better of him.
