Text from the Chronicle of John Skylitzes: "... Promoted to the patriarchal throne, he debarred Bardas from church for having put his wife away without cause and cohabiting with his mistress in contempt of canon law. Though Bardas begged and pleaded, he was unable to obtain absolution; so losing all hope of doing so, he went onto the offensive. He threw Ignatios out of the church, subjected him to a host of unbearable sufferings and finally locked him up in the tomb of [Constantine V] Kopronymos with the crudest of ferocious guards to watch over him. ..." (Translated by John Wortley, in: John Skylitzes: A Synopsis of Byzantine History, 811-1057: Translation and Notes, p. 106-107)

Text aus der Chronik von Johannes Skylitzes: "... Bardas hatte seine Frau ohne deren Schuld verstoßen und hatte Umgang mit seiner Schwiegertochter. Trotz inständigen Bittens konnte der Schuldige keine Vergebung erlangen, so holte er in seiner Hoffnungslosigkeit zum Gegenschlag aus, vertrieb den Patriarchen von seinem Amt und sperrte ihn schließlich nach vielem unausstehlichen Mißhandlungen im Grab des Kopronymos ein. Als Wächter bestellte er schlechte, sehr blutrünstige Kerle. ..." (Synopsis Historion S. 106 übersetzt von Hans Thurn, in: Byzantinische Geschichtsschreiber 15, S. 141)
