The Byzantine historian Nikephoros Gregoras, a pupil of Theodore Metochites, refers to his stay at the renovated Chora monastery:
ἀφ' οὗ γὰρ περὶ πλείονος ποιησάμενος ἐμὲ κατὰ τὴν αυτῷ νεουργηθεῖσαν μονὴν τῆς Χώρας φέρων κατῴκισε, πολλὴν ἔπειτα τὴν στρογὴν ἐδείκνυ πρὸς ἐμὲ καὶ ἱλαρὰν τὴν διάθεσιν καὶ μικροῦ τοῖς αὐτοῦ παισὶν ἐπίσης ἐδίδου τὴν σχέσιν κἀμοί·
Bekker Ι. - Schopen L. (ed.), Nicephori Gregorae historiae Byzantinae, 1 (CSΗB, Bonn 1829), p. 309.
Cantacuzene mentions the monastery: the name «Chora» appears having assumed symbolic meaning:
... τοῖς ἐν τῇ μονῇ τῆς ἀχωρήτου χώρας τοῦ σωτῆρος Χριστοῦ προσαγορευομένης προσέταττον μοναχοῖς, ἐπεὶ καὶ Γρηγορᾶς αὐτοῖς χρόνον συχνὸν συνῆν...
Schopen, L. (ed.), Ioannis Cantacuzeni eximperatoris historiarum libri iv, τ. 3 (CSHB, Bonn 1832), p. 171.
