• In the winter of the same year, on December 6, Nikola Day, the people of Bryansk killed Knyaz Gleb Svyatoslavich ; at the same time the Metropolitan was there and he could not calm them, till he came out from the Church of St. Nikola.

• The same winter Knyaz Simeon came to Torzhok with a force, with the whole of the Low Country, and the men of Novgorod began to assemble the whole of the district in the town, and they sent the Vladyka and the Tysyatski Avraam with other Boyars to the Knyaz, and they concluded a peace according to the old charters on all the terms of Novgorod; and they kissed the Cross. And they gave the Knyaz a tax on the district, and on the Novi-torg people 1,000 roubles; and the Metropolitan was also there; and the Knyaz sent a lieutenant into Novgorod.
