Description
The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of Vilska to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selo Vilʼska I megja mu…Pogorь u rěku, u Caričino rěkōmь, ta na Kobilo Kobilьšticomь, ta na Orlevi dělь). The site appears only in the later transcript (Hil. 150), which was made probably in the first decade of the 15th century. In the boundary description of Vilska the village of Caričino is mentioned. The village of Caričino is registered in the Defter for the Vilayet Üsküb (Skopje) from the year 1452/53. We have highlighted this toponym as "Sign of Power". Our reasoning is based on the premise that the toponym "Car" (i.e. Tsar, Emperor) bears witness to imperial presence at the respective place. The toponym "Car" (in Caričino) obviously indicates, apart from a possible physical presence of the Serbian Emperor, also a possibility of a causal link with the Byzantine Emperor or the Bulgarian Tsar.
