"It was confirmed in May, 15th, 2003 by the region council
session. Argent wavy bend sinister, in the top azure part is or
Cossack cross, in bottom or part is purple amphora of Chian type.
The board is topped by or territorial crown and twisted by a
green grapevine with two grapes. Under a board is a tape (in the
form of the Ukrainian towel with an embroidery of red-black
geometrical low-Dnister style), on it is motto in a Ukranian
language - "FORTUNE HELPS TO COURAGEOUS" ("FORTES
FORTUNA ADIUVAT" - the citation from Nazon
"Metamorphosis"). The author is P.Bondarenko.
The or cross means community - its prototype is near Hrybivka
village, which belonged to Kuzakon' family from the Danube
Cossack army. Because it located above argent bend, it symbolizes
Dnister unity. Argent bend means Dnister. The Chian amphora is
suitable for storage wine and grains, symbolizes well-beings and
fertility of the lands. Amphoras of such type are characteristic
in archeologic dig of the most ancient settlement of region -
Old-Greek policy Nikoniy (modern Roxolany village). The grapevine
means fertility and consent, it is a symbol of southern lands,
wine growing and winemaking.
Znak #36 2005".
