Summary
Registers of the new grants of estates held by service in Kazan' uezd recorded and carried out by the chamberlain Nikita Vasilevich Borisov and Dmitri, son of Dmitri [sc. Andrei] Kikin, and their fellows in October 1567. They recorded and measured the villages and hamlets of the 1565–7 grants of estates held by service, the Sovereign Tsar's and Grand Prince's villages and hamlets, wastes and sites in Kazan' uezd which were of the court according to the 1563–4 record of Semen Narmanski; no income was noted according to his record in those court villages and hamlets, other than arable land; the peasants of live vyts in the villages and hamlets tilled desyatinas for the Sovereign and Grand Prince, a desyatina of rye per vyt and a desyatina of the springsown crop.
In October 1567 the Kazan' officers of the inquisition, the chamberlain Nikita Vasilevich Borisov and Dmitri, son of Andrei Kikin, with their fellows, in accordance with the charter of Ivan Vasilevich, Sovereign and Grand Prince of All Russia, and with the list of appointments, recorded and measured the Sovereign's court villages, hamlets and wastes of their former 1565–7 record and allocation; the lands held by service by old, retired attendants; escheated empty lands which of old had been Tatar, Chuvash or Mordva; that is lands which were to be distributed in return for service, but Semen Narmanski had not recorded those lands as of the court villages and they were not granted to anyone.
