Description | This is what happened yesterday while he was at School. The monk Samuel came to his house, bearing an official document, and he brought with him some other men, who assaulted his mother and grabbed his things, brought them into the yard; some of them were left destroyed, or torn and all of them were stained. After the lesson, Konstantis came to the Patriarchate to file a report of the incident. He didn't manage to file his report, because there was a congregation at that time. So he went to see his things, because his mother was in a terrible state. He couldn't find his mother's silverware, her pearl, 6 silver teaspoons worth 900 piasters and 3 French liras. Samuel claimed that he was acting on the orders of His Beatitude, this is why the petitioner is reporting this to His Beatitude. He will also report this to the government, and he is appealing to His good judgement. |
