The text of the treaty, as preserved in the Kievan chronicle, opens with a list of signatories on the part of the Kievan RusRus . They are all Old Norse language Norse Karl, Farulf, Vermund, Hrollaf, and Steinvith. Kievan Rus figures in the text as a Gardariki conglomeration of major urban centres Kiev , Chernigov , Pereyaslav , Polotsk , Rostov , and Lyubech . Aleksey Shakhmatov commented that the list of the towns is arbitrary and that some of them may have been inserted by later scribes. Most conspicuously, the treaty regulates the status of the colony of Varangians Varangian merchants in Constantinople . The text testifies that they settled in the quarter of Saint Mamas . The Varangians were to enter Constantinople through a certain gate, without weapons, accompanied by the imperial guard, not more than fifty people at a time. Upon their arrival, they were enregistered by the imperial authorities in order to be supplied with food and monthly alimentation in the space of half a year.
