Tzourichos, a heretic from Adrianople, provoked negative reactions in the capital

Summary:
Nikephoros, a man with power in the Pantokrator monastery (probably the hegoumenos) ordered men to go and seize the heretic Tzourichos and his mature son and give them 36 strokes of the cane in the courtyard (of the monastery?). But both scoundrels hid, and the men caught Tzourichos' innocent young son, whom they punished with 13 strokes. The mature son insulted Tzetzes, and as a result was violently driven out of the monastery of Mousele (where presumably he was living) by the bishop of Dalisanda and the protekdikos
