N.B. As can be seen, especially from the example provided by Xenophont Monastery, the donations were being offered on a regular basis. For this reason these donations must have been much more numerous as evidenced in this table, which includes only the documented donations.

This table and the note have been translated from the original ones found in: pr. dr. Teodor Bodogae, Ajutoarele româneşti la mânăstirile din Sfântul Munte Athos, Sibiu, 1940.

¹ Hungarian gold coin. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries one ughi was equal to 1.73 lei, 300 bani (qv), 1.66 thalers.
