Abstract: The Old Slavonic Cyrillic letters ?o? and ?h? written at the end of Prince Miroslav?s inscription in the church of St. Peter in Bijelo Polje are not, as was earlier thought, an abridged invocation or an acronym. One should not interpret them either as an abbreviation for some word or personal name. It is much more likely that in the said position, these letters were written out as alphabetic numerals and that as a part of the iscription?s date, they testify that the church of St. Peter was built in the 6670th year from the creation of the world, i.e.1161/1162 AD.
