The Moldavian chronicles preserved several variants of the legend of Dragoș's hunting for an aurochs or bison, ending with his "dismounting" by the Moldova River, which gave rise to the development of Moldavia. The "Anonymous Chronicle of Moldavia" contains a short summary: "In the year 6867 Dragoș Voivode came from the Hungarian country, from Maramureș, hunting an The "Moldo-Polish Chronicle" preserved a more detailed story: "By the will of God, the first voivode, Dragoș, came from the Hungarian country from the town and river of hunting an aurochs which he killed on the river Moldova. There he feasted with his noblemen, and liking the country he remained there, bringing [Vlachs from Hungary as ". According to the most comprehensive "Moldo-Russian Chronicle", after the hunting Dragoș returned to Maramureș to persuade the local Vlachs to accompany him back to Moldavia; they crossed the Carpathians after "Vladislav, the Hungarian king" permitted them to leave and they dismounted at the very place where Dragoș had killed the beast. On the other hand, the 17th-century Grigore Ureche did not mention Dragoș when narrating the legend of the "dismounting". According to Ureche's version, Transylvanian shepherds chased the aurochs and killed it at Boureni whose name is connected to the Romanian word for aurochs "(bour)". Ureche also stated that the head of an aurochs was put on the coat-of-arms of Moldavia on this occasion.
