Georgios Tornikes wrote to the protos of Mt Ganos about attacks on his monastery

Summary:
Unnamed persons in Constantinople were working against the protos of Mt Ganos, by seeking to divide from him his able collaborator Paulos, kathegoumenos of a monastery on the mountain. They had succeeded in delaying Paulos in the capital. Tornikes wrote to the protos urging stiff resistance, together with Paulos and Habakkuk [if that is not another way of referring to Paulos]

protos of Mt Ganos (Anonymus 25071)
  • He received a letter from Georgios 25002 explaining that Paulos 25001 was delayed in the capital by persons who wished to detach him [and Anonymus 25072, if not the same person] from the protos; the three (or two) of them should remain a strong team (:) Tornikes, Georgios 135.1-136.18
Habakkuk, name or nickname of a person on Mt Ganos (Anonymus 25072)
  • He was a mysterious figure in much the same relation to Anonymus 25070 as Paulos 25001, as the enemies of the protos were trying to drive both of them out of Ganos (:) Tornikes, Georgios 136.7-10
Georgios Tornikes, man of letters and metropolitan of Ephesos (Georgios 25002)
  • He wrote in support of the protos Anonymus 25071 and his able collaborator Paulos 25001 (who had been delayed in the capital by those who wanted to divide them); they would resist well, with Anonymus 25072 [if that was not Paulos himself] (:) Tornikes, Georgios 136.7-10
Paulos, kathegoumenos of a monastery on Mt Ganos (Paulos 25001)
  • He was delayed in Constantinople (said a letter of Georgios 25002 to Anonymus 25071) because persons in the capital were trying to detach him from the protos; Paulos and Anonymus 25072 were doing good work to thwart them, as was the protos himself (:) Tornikes, Georgios 135.1-136.18
