Certainty: 2 Gregorios Taronites approached the Danishmend emir, but was captured & sent to Alexios I
As soon as he heard of the arrival of his cousin Ioannes Taronites, Gregorios made for the strong fortress of Koloneia, to seek help from Gumushtegin Ghazi Danishmend [whom he had before defeated]. But Ioannes stopped him by sending the Kelts from his army with some aristocrats. These overtook Gregorios and began a fierce skirmish, in the course of which Gregorios was knocked off his horse by two opponents and taken as a prisoner back to Alexios. Ioannes refused to see or speak to Gregorios in the course of the journey. Alexios pretended to take a hard line, speaking of blinding Gregorios, but Ioannes spoke eloquently on his behalf. Alexios gave in, as if persuaded by Ioannes, but urged Ioannes to say nothing of the change of verdict. Two days later, the emperor had Gregorios' hair and beard shaven and in that state paraded through the heart of the city, then locked in the prison of Anemas (soon after Anemas himself had left). There Gregorios' stupidity continued, with daily abuse of his guards. But Alexios continued to treat him leniently, vainly hoping for improvement
