| | Nestor: The Martyrdom of Boris and Gleb. |
 | | He shall be numbered with the prophets and the Apostles, as he joins with the choirs of martyrs, rests in the lap of Abraham, beholds joy ineffable, chants with the angels, and rejoices in company with the choirs of saints. |
 | | Gleb quickly mounted his horse, and set out with a small company, for he was obedient to his father. |
 | | After Gleb had been slain, his body was thrown upon the shore between two tree trunks, but afterward they took him and carried him away, to bury him beside his brother Boris in the Church of St. Basil. |
