Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on an unexplored type of numerals in the Mediaeval Bulgarian luterature. In the majority of cases they are formed with къ preposition and rarely with надъ, връхѹ, съвръхѹ, съ. The phenomenon is examined in the context of languages of the Balkan linguistic community. It is stated that this formation of numerals is in a certain connection with Balkan Latin and has pure native (Balkan) origin. Except for the languages of the Balkan linguistic community the phenomenon is also encountered in some proclaimed to be Russian translations from Greek as Josephus Flavius’ Jewish War and Pseudo-Callisthenes’ Alexander romance. As the observed phenomenon is not to be met in the original Russian literature as well as in the dialects of the Russian language it is considered that it could be a strong evidence that these translations originate from the Balkan Slavic area.
