It has  the incorrect agreement: у коего был самострельные луки так  
велики

Besides, the last sentence Сам он мог бросать каменья в середину  
града в подъём человеку и для метания огня имел особый малейший, но  
вельми хитро сделанный, as far as I can see, is not only  
ungrammatical in Russian (the object is missing имел ЧТО?), but also  
does not seem to be present in the original — top of the p. 635. This  
strange sentence is also on the above mentioned Zhurnal Rodina site.

This translation from O.R. to Russian here: http://old-ru.ru/ 
03-18.html is closer to the Old Russian, has no grammatical mistakes  
in agreement, and does not have the objectionable sentence that I  
just mentioned which appeared in "translation" from nowhere".
