The patriarch Ioannes VIII Xiphilinos received a complaint from Georgios IV Oltisari, hegoumenos of Iveron about Ioannes Iatropolos and Petros, chartoularioi of the oikonomeion of Hagia Sophia, that with some paroikoi of Eunouchou they seized a property of Iveron at Melitziane and transferred it to Eunouchou. The patriarch was shown the tax register drawn up by Andronikos in 1047. He ordered an enquiry, and summoned Ioannikios, megas oikonomos of Hagia Sophia, Theophilos, metropolitan of Herakleia and Ioannes, metropolitan of Sardis, as well as the two accused chartoularioi Ioannes and Petros, and two others, Konstantinos Sideriotes and Christophoros. Ioannikos, the megas oikonomos, wrote to Stephanos, the metropolitan of Serres, and the patriarchal officials Basileios the protospatharios, Stephanos the spatharokandidatos and Nikolaos the koubouklesios. The letters cancelled the actions of the two accused chartoularioi, and told the four recipients to go to the site and trace the border on the basis of periorismoi from both sides. This they did, with 23 (named) lay persons, monks of Iveron and paroikoi of Eunouchou. Questions were asked about a missing border marker (which they replaced) and the stream of Zeginas, which was part of the border
