[J] "The Pope, Gregory V. (996-999), and the Western Emperor, Otho III. (993-1002), who was then also at Rome, went out to meet the strangers beyond the walls, and received them with all possible honour and respect. And out there in the Campagna, at Grottaferrata, St. Nilos at last built a home for his monks, and there he died. Grottaferrata has stood unchanged till now, no Pope has tried to destroy or Latinise it; after ten centuries, its monks sing out their Greek office in the very heart of the Latin Patriarchate, while outside the Latin olives shelter its Byzantine walls."—"The Orthodox Eastern Church," Adrian Fortescue, D.D.
