The Byzantine Emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos in 1340/1341 donated the settlement site Sekirʼnikь to the Hilandar Monastery (εἰς τὴν Στρούμμιτζαν ἀγρίδιον τὸ Σεκρίνικον μετὰ τῆς νομῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ περιοχῆς). The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the donation of the settlement site Sekirʼnikь, a former land of Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, to the Monastery of Hilandar after May 1343. He endowed it also with a plot of land, which was owned by Laskarь Kotanicь (Selište Sekirʼnikь i komatь zemlje što jestь drьžalь Laskarь Kotanicь). Sekirʼnikь is preserved in the second variant of the charter as a village (Selo Sěkirʼnykь i zemʼlja što jestь drьžalь Laskarь Kotanicь). The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed in 1348 the donation of Sekirʼnikь to the Hilandar Monastery. Sekirʼnikь is attested in his chrysobull charter as a village (I niže Strumice selo Kunarani, selo Sěkirnykь, selo Štuka sь vsěmi pravinami). The čelnik Branilo was sent before 1349 by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan in order to determine the boundary of the Hilandar’s metochion above Sekirʼnikь in the region of Strumica, which was endangered by the attacks of noblemen, minor noblemen and katuns of the Vlachs (ōbide vlastele i vlasteličiki i katuni vlahь carьstva mi na planinahь i zabelehь u Kunarahь više Sekirnika).
