Knyaz Ivan came to Torzhok with all the Knyazes of the Low Country and of Ryazan, and sent into Novgorod and removed the lieutenants; and himself sat in Torzhok from Epiphany till the second week of Lent, despoiling the district of Novgorod. And the men of Novgorod sent envoys to him calhng him to Novgorod: the Archimandrite Lavrenti, Fedor Tverdislavich and Luka Valfromeyev; but he did not accept their prayer, and did not listen to them, and he did not grant peace, and went away.

• The same year God put into the heart of the Lithuanian Knyaz Narimont, called in baptism Gleb, the son of Gedimin, Veliki Knyaz of Lithuania, and he sent to Novgorod, wishing to bow down to Saint Sophia; and the people of Novgorod sent Grigori to Olexander for him, and called him to them; and he arrived at Novgorod, wishing to worship, in the month of October; and they received him with honour, and he kissed the Cross to Great Novgorod as for one man. And they gave him Ladoga, and Orekhov, the Korel town (Keksholm) and the Korel land and half Koporya for patrimony and heritage and to his children. The same year the Metropolitan Feognast came back to Russia having been at Tsargrad (Constantinopol) and in the Horde.
