The Veliki Knyaz Ivan went to the Horde. On his advice the Tartars summoned to the Horde Alexander and Vasili Davidovich of Yaroslav, and all the Knyazes. And Knyaz Alexander had first sent his son Fedor to the Horde, expecting news from there. And the Tsar sent for him, and he went to the Horde, and Vasili of Yaroslav against whom Knyaz Ivan, his father-in-law, put out 500 men to intercept him, but he beat them off. For Knyaz Ivan had already left the Horde and the men of Novgorod sent envoys to him.

• Novgorod. The same year, on August 13, there was a sign from the ikon of the Holy Mother of God in St. Lazar at evening service; tears as it were flowed from both its eyes, and two wax cups were placed under it

• The same year the men of Novgorod sent Kusma Tverdislavl and Olexander Borisovich with others, and the Vladyka on his part sent his nephew Matvei, beyond sea on a mission to the Knyaz of the Sveden; they found him in Lyudovl town in the Murman country and concluded a peace with him on the terms of previous documents; and regarding the Korel people they spoke thus: " If ours escape to you, slay or hang them, if yours to us, we will do the same by them; that they make no treachery between us; but these we will not deliver, who have been baptised into our faith ; also there are but few of them left, the rest have all died by the wrath of God."

• On the 29th of the same month the pagan Tartars killed Knyaz Olexander and his son Fedor in the Horde. For Tsar Ozbyak (Uzbeg) had summoned him with deceit, intending to kill him, saying thus: " The Tsar desires to make thee a grant." And they listening to the deceitful words of that pagan, and having gone, were both killed; and received a bitter and violent death.

• The same year the Veliki Knyaz Ivan Danilovich withdrew his lieutenants from Novgorod, and he was not at peace with Novgorod.
