of the gate there is or Cyrillic letter "P" over an

Heraldry:
"City in Ternopil Oblast. The first mention refers to the XV
century.In 1539 it was given the Magdeburg Right. In 1665
Cossacks regiment conquered a castle in Pidgaitsi. Those scenes
were reflected on a seal of 1658 - Latin letter "P"
over a crescent and a cross under it.Since the beginning of the
20th century town council session had used a picture of an or
gate with two towers in an azure field on the seals."

My ancient encyclopedia says, under the heading
"Magdeburg", "Magdeburg became a flourishing
commercial town during the 13th century, and was an important
member of the Hanseatic League..."Magdeburg law"
(Magdeburger Recht), securing the administrative independence of
municipalities, was widely adopted." Perhaps where the
source says "was given Magdeburg right" we should
translate "received the right of civic self-government"
or something similar.
