Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Simonopetra" in English language version.
At the end of the 15th century, the Russian pilgrim Isaiah wrote that the monks supported themselves with various kinds of work, including the cultivation of their vineyards, and that nearly half the monasteries were Slav or Albanian. As Serbian he instanced Docheiariou, Grigoriou, Ayiou Pavlou, a monastery near Ayiou Pavlou and dedicated to St. John the Theologian (no doubt meaning the monastery of Ayiou Dionysiou) and Chilandariou. Panteleïmon is Russian, Simonopetra is Bulgarian, and Karakallou and Philotheou are Albanian. He mentioned Zographou, Kastamonitou (see fig. 58), Xeropotamou, Koutloumousiou, Xenophontos, Iveron and Protaton without any designations; while Lavra, Vatopedi (see fig. 59), Pantokratoros, and Stavronikita (which founded shortly prior by the patriarch Jeremiah I), he specifically named as Greek (see map 6).
