A.D. 1177. A.M. 6685. Gleb, [Prince] of Ryazan, died in captivity in Volodimir. At the same time [Prince] Mstislav was blinded, with his brother Yaropolk by their uncle VsevoIod, and he let them go into Russia. And the two blind [men,] being led with rotting eyes, when they reached Smolensk they came to Smyadino into the Church of the Holy Martyrs Boris and Gleb; and there forthwith the Grace of God and of our Holy Sovereign Lady the Mother of God and of the newly manifested holy Martyrs Boris and Gleb descended on them and there they saw clearly. The same year in the autumn the Nerev end form Ivankova took fire and five churches were burnt down. And in the winter [Prince] Mstislav with his brother Yaropolk came to Novgorod and the men of Novgorod set Mstislav on the throne, and Yaropolk in itorg, and Yaroslav in Volok-Lamsk, and thus they arranged [things] according to their will.
