Then we must not pass over in silence the rumours, which came to us about noble Gregory through
the stories of older people, for which matter he was remembered, that he so willingly took care of
the safety of our people. They say that once there came there new merchants from Britain and
brought many things to sell to the market and also many people came to buy those things.
