Summary

Description	English: Skyllitzes Matritensis, fol. 184v, detail. Miniature: Bulgarians ambush and kill the governor of Thessalonica, Duke Gregory Taronites. Text from the Chronicle of John Skylitzes: "... Samuel was campaigning against Thessalonike. He divided the majority of his forces to man ambushes and snares but he sent a small expedition to advance right up to Thessalonike itself. When duke Gregory [Taronites] learnt of this incursion he despatched Asotios, his own son, to spy on and reconnoitre the [enemy] host and to provide him with inteligence and then he himself came along afterwards. Asiotios set out and came into conflict with the [enemy] vanguard which he put to flight, only to be taken unwittingly in an ambush. On hearing of this Gregory rushed to the help of his son, striving to deliver him from captivity, bu he too was surrounded by Bulgars; he fell fighting nobly and heroically. ..."

Миниатюра: Българи убиват солунския дук Григорий Таронит. Цитат от хрониката на Йоан Скилица: "... Самуил потеглил срещу Солун и рапределил главната част от войската си по засади и клопки, а само една малка част пратил да направи набег до самия Солун. Когато научил за нахлуването му, дукът Григорий изпратил сина си Ашот, за да види и огледа войската и да му извести за това, а самият той следвал отзад. Ашот излязъл и като влязъл в стълкновение с разузнавачите [на Самуил], разбил ги, но попаднал сред засадите и бил заловен. Като научил това, Григорий веднага отишъл на помощ на сина си, желайки да го освободи от плен. Но и той бил обграден от българите и паднал след храбра и геройска борба. ..."
