1. In the table, the Podillja Voivodeship is abbreviated as "Podillja", the Rus’ Voivodeship is called "Rus’".

2. In cases where the eastern point of attack is not delineated, but only "Podillja" is named, I tentatively calculate the distance from the eastern border of the voivodeship, from the Murafa River, and put it in square brackets.

3. Tatar attacks on Moldavia are recorded not systematically, only on occasions.

4. I count the length of the Lutsk land from Ostrog to Zaturtsi.

5. I calculate the area of the triangle Ostrog – Zaturtsi – Olesko.

6. I count 200 km from the southern border of Kyiv land – the Ros river, specifically from Pogrebyshche.

7. I am counting the distance from Jarmolyntsi to Bratslav.
