The will of St. John Xenos

"In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I designate and bid, will and order all people that I wish all the monasteries and churches I founded and built by the grace of God, and all moveable and fixed estate I dedicated thereto, to be under the authority of the Virgin Mary of Myriokephala until the end of this world, without any dispute whatsoever... On this 20^th day in the month of September, Anno Creationis Mundi 6536, Anno Domini 1027".

(Nikolaos V. Tomadakis, "St. John Xenos and his Will". Kritika Chronika, vol. II 1948, p. 65-66 - in Greek)
