1229
And the men of Novgorod took much money- from Yaroslav's favourites and the people of Gorodishche; they did not plunder their houses but made them give towards the building of the great bridge.
And Knyaz Mikhail sent Nezdilo Prokshinits and Ivanko Tudorkovits to Yaroslav, saying: " Give up the Volokr and all thou hast that belongs to Novgorod, which thou hast occupied by force, and kiss the Cross." And Yaroslav said: " I will not give up that, and do not kiss the Cross; you for yourself and I for myself." And he detained the emissaries all the summer.
The same winter, the Lithuanians came and ravaged [the towns and districts of] Lyubno, Moreva, and Serigeri, the men of Novgorod pursued them and having overtaken them, beat them, and took away all their captives, in the month of January.
