 | | Dlugosz explicitly writes, first, that he was not struck with three lances, but was slashed with many wounds, and then adds that from this time the arms "Koilerogi" [= goat horns] (as they had been called before) received from Szaryusz the new name "Jelita," and there is no mention of a change in the arms. |
 | | It is evident, then, that these arms, as the Jelita clan uses them now, are more ancient than that battle. |
 | | So this is a very old coat of arms, and evidently highly regarded for its bearers even during the days of the pagan monarchs in Poland; but from what it originated is hard to guess, in view of its antiquity. |
