	Roman Emperors DIR Bertha of Sulzbach
		This is supported by Basil of Ochrid, who states that women in general were thought to have too great a predilection for bedecking themselves in unsuitable finery to enhance their charms, and confirms the historians' account of Bertha's disinterest in adornments and of her inner virtue which far outweighed her external magnificence.
		In addition, it seems probable that she was not considered to be properly fulfilling her role as empress, who was expected to act alongside the emperor as the focal point of imperial ceremonial, and was a vital pivot for ceremonies involving the women of the court.
		[[21]]Basil of Ochrid, 'Laudatio Irenae Augustae,' 311-30, esp. 316-25.

	Rebecca West - Ochrid I
		It is one of the peculiarities of Ochrid that, though it is a very poor town, all day long little boys run about with trays of delicious rolls made from fine white flour.
		The old town of Ochrid on its hill is stuck as thickly with churches as a pomander with cloves, and there are several churches in the new town that lies flat on the lake shore.
		All the other churches in Ochrid have their devotees who can worship happily nowhere else and who speak of them with a passion which has something animal in it, something that one can imagine a beast feeling for its accustomed lair.

		She may also be able to tell if any species have gone extinct in recent decades, by comparing her findings with a museum collection of diatoms gathered from Lake Ochrid back in the 1930s and 40s.
		Organisms of all sizes make up the Earth's biodiversity, Spaulding said, but she thinks that species of the smallest organisms, like the diatoms, may be disappearing before we even know they exist.

	Rebecca West - Ochrid IV (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I was thinking that now your husband has seen the Bishop it would be a good thing if we went to the little monastery where we went with the poet last year.
		We looked at Ochrid, lying beyond the green and crimson plains against the white silk of the lake, and then we would have gone away had it not been that the priest was so gently eager for us to stay.
		The mattress of his bed was laid not on a bedstead but on timber trestles, the towels were poor wisps of cotton, and there were no rugs on the floor and no books.

	Rebecca West - Ochrid V
		We went down the alleys into the main street of Ochrid in an afternoon that was already cooler, that had begun to breathe freely again.
		There is a white column on the hillside not far from Ochrid which catches the eye from a long way off but which is never visited; it commemorates four hundred Serbians who stopped here on the 1915 retreat, being sick and starved and weary, and were shot down by the local Bulgars.
		Gerda drove with us from Ochrid to Bitolj, for it is a journey of only a few hours, and there could be no pretence that it meant prolonged discomfort if she joined us.
