Money from the Chetie [1] , sometimes a fourth cash salary - in the Russian state of the XVI and XVII centuries, this was the name of the annual cash salary given to city nobles and boyars' children , who were called in this case the “ quarters ”. [2]
Chet money is sometimes called a quitrent (see “Description of Documents and Papers Stored in the Moscow Archive of the Ministry of Justice”, v. 8, p. 42, 45, 87), which apparently indicates the origin of this type of cash salary [ 2] .

That this salary was annual is evident from the Kolomna tithe of 1577 , listing the boyar yard children who “eat one quarter of the year”, as well as from the list of noblemen and children of the boyars , tverits and Novotorzhians, compiled by the clerks of Simeon Bekbulatovich [2] .
The salary was called a quarter , because it was paid out of the quarter income received in the Galician , Kostroma , Ustyuzh , Vladimir and Novgorod quarters. He was received by a more generous and well-deserved part of the city nobility, who considered it more profitable to receive money from the couple for a lower salary (tax) than for a higher salary “ money with the city ”. [2]
Until about the second quarter of the 17th century, quarters received a special salary from those who were living with the city; but from the second quarter of the century they receive a salary on a par with the latter, continuing to differ from them in the text of the tithes, which do not always mean to which Chetchik a quarter is assigned, and they simply write: “from the chet ... (so many) ... rubles” [ 2] .
There is no mention of the Novgorod quarter in salary marks “from the chet”, but Novgorodians, boyar children, are sometimes mentioned as receiving salaries from the quarters of Ustyuzhskaya and Vladimirskaya [2] .
The monetary salary “from the chet” was increased by “bargains”, which were called “quarter”, and coped in the “quarter books” of the corresponding quarter, at the beginning of the XVII century. still called “fed books”, the study of which should significantly clarify the issue of money from the chet (see books of the Belogorodsky table No. 69, in the archive of the Ministry of Justice) [2] .
When a serviceman who received “money from the city” corresponded by salary for “money from the couple”, they said that such and such service was “reinstated, the salary was paid to him from the couple” (so many; quarter salaries from 6 to 60 p.). Those who received money from the chet from each city usually served much less than those who received money from the city. The composition of the quarters was signed between quarters, regardless of whether the quarters were registered in service with one or another city financially maintained in any quarter. Each newly admitted to a quarter was attributed to that couple, beyond which there was a queue for the maintenance of the new quarters, or in which there were “retired” places. [2]
