Gjurenь Person Mentioned in the chrysobull charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan concerning the foundation of the Bishopric of Zletovo from 1346/1347. He apparently bought or rented a so-called stlьpь (vaster area of ploughland) in the valley of the river Turišnica. The Despot Ioannes Liberos granted this stlьpь in or before 1346/1347 to the Eparchy of Zletovo with its seat in the Monastery Lěsnovo (1). The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the donation of Ioannes Liberos in the founding charter for the Bishopric of Zletovo (I priloži despotь zemlje stlьpь vyše svetago Ilije dola, i drugy stlьpь povyše koi je Gjurenь drьžalь uzь vložinu).

He held an inherited estate in the village Eleněžьci. The Serbian King Stefan Uroš III Dečanski donated the village Eleněžьci to the Treskavec Monastery. The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the donation of his father and endowed the Treskavec Monastery also with the inherited properties of Murtinь, Gorgičь and kïrь Vasilь (Selo Eleněšci što priloži gospodinь kralь i potvrьdi kralevьstvo mi, i u nimь baština Murtina i Gōrgičeva i kïrь Vasileva sь vsěmi pravinami). He also owned a watermill in Bělovo on the manor of Črьnota, which was bestowed by the Serbian King to the Treskavec Monastery (Voděnica vь Bělevě Gorьgičiva na Črьnotině stasi, i druga voděnica kupena ōdь Murtiněhь polovinu).

Gradislavь (1) Person Mentioned in the sources from 1333 to 1379/1380. He was the son of Boril (Gradislauo Borilli). Vojvoda Gradislav (or vexillifer Gradislau, son of Boril in the Latin version of the document) signed along with the Metropolitan of Prizren Arsenije, Kaznac Baldovin, Župan Vratko, Knez Grgur Kurjaković, Stavilac Miloš, Vojvoda Dejan Manjak, Gradislav Sušenica, Nikola Buća, and Archdeacon Marin Baranić in Polog the charter issed by Stefan Uroš IV Dušan from the 22. January 1333 regarding the sale of Ston to the city of Dubrovnik (A tu imь milostь učini kraljevstvo mi u Polozie vь lětoь 6833 měseca ženvara 2 i 2 danь. A tui běhu: sveōsvešni jepiskupь prizrěnski Arsenie, kaznacь Balьdovinь, voevoda Gradisavь, županь Vratkō, knezь Grьgurь Kurjakovićь, stavilacь Miloš, vo(e)voda Deganь Manijaakь, Gradisavь Sušenica, Nikola Bučga, arhidjak Marinь Baraninь/ Actum est hoc datum in Pollogo, presentibus uenerabili patris, domino Arsenio, episcopo Prisirenensis, ac nobilibus viris, casneçio Baldouino, Gradislauo Borilli, uexillifero, çuppano Vratcho, comitate Gregorio Curiaçi, staluileçio Milosio Voyni, uoieuoda Deiano Maniiacho, stauileçio Gradislauo Suseniçe, Nicolao Buchia, archidiacono Antibarensis et Marino Miroslai Antibarensis, et aliis quam pluribus currente anno Domini, millesimo, trecentessimo tercio decimo tercio, mensis Januari uigessimo secundio die, indictione prima). Gradislav bearing the title of tepčija donated the settlement site Běla Vodica with all rights to the Monastery of Treskavec. This donation was confirmed by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan in the second charter for the Monastery in Treskavec (Selište Běla Vodica sь vsěmi pravinami, što priloži tepci Gradislavь). Gradislav figures again in the charter of Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery of the Holy Archangels in Prizren issued probably in August 1347. As tepčija he confirmed the boundary mark of the land Trstena during the reign of the Stefan Uroš III Dečanski (i sь zemlomь na Trьstěnoi što si jestь drьžalь u roditelь carьstva mi, i što mu je utesalь tepʼči Gradislav i igumьnь carьstva mi). In 1352 the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan sent to the Byzantine Emperor John V Palaiologos an auxiliary cavalry force under the command of Borilović, who was in charge of the office of kaznac. They fought together against John VI Kantakuzenos and the horsemen of Orhan I in the battle of Didymoteichon. According to Kantakuzenos almost all 7,000 Serbs fell at the battle and the kaznac could escape only with a small number of troops (γενομένου δὲ ἐκεῖ τοῦ βασιλέως ἀδελφοῦ, ἡ στρατιὰ ἐξεπέμφθη παρασκευασθεῖσα ἑπτακισχίλιοι ἱππεῖς, ὧν ἐστρατήγει Κασνιτζὸς ὁ Μποριλοβίκης προσαγορευόμενος, ἐκ τῶν ἐπιφανεστάτων μάλιστα ὢν τῶν παρὰ Τριβαλοῖς… Κασνιτζὸς δὲ ὁ στρατηγὸς μετά τινων εὐαριθμήτων ἠδυνήθη διαδρᾶναι, τῶν ἄλλων ἁπάντων τῶν μὲν πεσόντων, τῶν δ’ ἑαλωκότων). It is not clear, if Borilović is the same person as Gradislav. Naumov suggests, that Borilović was in fact his brother or close relative. He owned the village Jelašnica. The Serbian Despot Lazar donated in 1379/1380 the village Jelašnica, which belonged previously to Gradislav, with church, boundaries, hamlets and all right to the Hilandar Monastery. The Serbian Patriarch Spiridon confirmed in 1380 the wording of the deed of Lazar (selo Elʼšanica Gradisava tepčije i sь crьkviju i s megami i zaselci, s pravinami sela togo). Gradislav was probably buried in the Treskavec monastery. This was proposed by Gligorijević on the grounds of an inscription under the ktetor composition of a man carrying a church model and his wife preserved on the western facade of the parekklesion of the Treskavec monastery (τοῦ τεπέτζηα καὶ κτήτορος τοῦδε τοῦ ναοῦ). On the sheet 436 of the pomenik of the Church of the Holy Virgin Ljeviška in Prizren, the pomen of Peter kaznac Gradislav is mentioned. It might be suggested that Peter was the monk name of Gradislav. Highly questionable is the suggestion of Branka Ivanić, which identifies Gradislav with the bearer of the goldring in the collection of the National Museum in Belgrade. The inscription along the rim of the goldring reads namely Gradislav čelnik.
Gradislavь (2) Person Mentioned in the chrysobull charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for Iakobos (Iakovь), the Metropolitan of Serres, concerning the Church of Saint Nicholas on the river Pčinja beneath the fortress of Kožle from 1352/1353.

After the death of Jakob, the metropolitan of Serres, the rights should devolve on the Monastery of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel near Prizren. Among the donated people were freemen from the Byzantine Empire, who came at the time when the Turks plundered Anatolia and were well received on the churchʼs land by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin. Their arrival might have a connection with the presence of the Serbian troops under the command of Novakь Grěbostrěkь in Anatolia. One of the migrants was Gradislavь (I kьdi plěniše Turʼci Anatoliju, tьdii prïidoše slobodni ljudije izь Grьkьь na crьkovnu zemlju pri svetomь krali; a se imь imena: Gradislavь).

He was Hegumen of the Hilandar Monastery, 1348 (Καθηγούμενε τῆς σεβασμίας μονῆς τοῦ Χελανταρίου κυρίε Καλλίνικε) and Bishop of Banьska (Velbužd, Kjustendil) [osvešten’noi jepiskupь banьsky kyrь Kalinikь], 1349. The monks from the Monastery of Saint John Baptist near Serres complained to the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan about been oppressed in use of their fishing rights by the Hegumen Kallinikos and Hilandar Monastery. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan commanded the hegumen to abandon from this action. Kallinikos asked the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan before 1349 to exempt the endowment of the dijak Dragoje from duties. Dragoje could live with his father-in-law on the property, where the new church was erected, after the intervention of Kallinikos (Tōgda spravi osvešten’noi jepiskupь banьsky kyrь Kalinikь jere ōdь svego sьrdьca sь velikimь trudomь se tьštitь sьizi dijakь Dragoe zidati hramь Božii i za njego se pomoli jepiskupь carьstvu mi kako da jestь tai crьkvь svobodna na věky.

After the declaration of witnesses went the land and people to the possession of Iakobos by the law (I kьdi ima sudь mitropolitь sěr᾿skyi Iakovь s Karomь za sijuzi zemlju i za ljudi, tьdizi zemlju sijuzi svědoci prisvědokovaše crьkvi kake jestь byla u svetago kralja crьkьvna).

Kostanьdinь Person Identical with Konstantin Dragaš (Konstantinos Dragases)? Mentioned in the second charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery of Treskavec.

Marina Person The wording of the greek inscription in the Church of Saint George at Pološko may support the assumption that she accepted the name Maria as a nun. Some authors think that her monk’s name was Marina. Mostly Bulgarian scholars tend to identify her with Marija († 7. 4. 1355) from the epitaph in the Church of Saint Demetrius in Skopje. She lived before 1343/1345 and maybe after it. She appears as βασίλισσα in the greek inscription. She was married to Despot Eltimeres (despotica). It is not clear, whether Ioannes Dragusinos was her son or son-in-law. She was the daughter of the Bulgarian Tsar Smilets. The marriage with Eltimeres took place before 1299. She emigrated to Serbia with her family after the death of her husband probably in 1305. She founded the Church of Saint George at Pološko as the burial place for Ioannes Dragusinos. She commissioned the fresco decoration of the church. Her portrait on the western facade near the entrance of the church is accompanied by a greek inscription (ΔΕΙΣΙΣ ΤΗΣ ΔΟΥΛΗΣ ΤΟΥ ΘΕΟΥ ΜΑΡΙΑΣ ΤΗΣ ... ΤΗΣ ΒΑΣΕΙΛΙΣΑΣ ΤΗΣ ΟΝΟΜΑΣΘΕΙΣΗΣ ΜΑΡΙΝΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΚΤΙΤΟΡΙΣΑΣ ΤΟΥ ΝΑΟΥ). She is depicted as a nun wearing the model of the church.

He was the donor of the Church of St. Demetrius in the east of the medieval lower town of Prilep (today Varoš). He sponsored the renovation and the painted decoration of this church. It is uncertain, whether the preserved portrait of the donor in the church itself and the donor inscription [δέ(ησις) τοῦ δού[λου] τοῦ θ(εο)ῦ Δημητρίου τοῦ Μησηνοπολήτου καὶ κτήτορ(ος) τοῦ ναοῦ] in the southern aisle of the western part of the church attest the Misinopolites or his son.

Bidobista Place The Archbishop of Ōhrid Demetrios Chomatenos ruled around 1220 that the contract concerning the sale of the inherited estate of Georgios Kuritzes to Silvestros from the village Bidobista is not valid (τὸν ἐν τῷ χωρίῳ Βιδοβίστῃ οἰκοῦντα τοὔνομα Σίλβεστρον). The village is mentioned in both fragmentary notes on the back of the charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Church of the Holy Mother of God Peribleptos in Ōhrid from 14th century (i dělь dō voděnici, mlinь vь sь u Vidovišti; i děl ōd voděnice mlinь vsь u Vidovišti).
Boimi Place In 1336 the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) and the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos (reigned 1328-1341) made plans to meet in Baimi (ἐν Βαϊμὶ τὴν ἓνωσιν γενέσθαι χωρίῳ Μακεδονικῷ). Andronikos III, however, changed the plans and surprised Stefan Dušan in Radovište (κατὰ τὸ Ῥαδοβόσδιον). On 12 June 1349 the Serbian King Stefan Dušan granted the Church of Saint George in Baimi to the Monastery of Saint Panteleemon on the Holy Mount Athos (crkovь stago Geōrgija u Boimii). The Church of Saint George in Alandovo in the region of Boimi appears in another deed of donation of the same date to the same monastery, which was issued by the Serbian King Stefan Dušan (crьkov stgo Geōrgija u Boïmi u Alandově). In a chrysobull by John V Palaiologos (reigned 1341-1391) from 1353 an estate in Baimi was donated to the Monastery of Saint Panteleemon on the Holy Mount Athos (ζευγελατεῖον ἕτερον περῒ τὴν Βαϊμήν).

Drakšanь Place The charter, which is mentioning the mountain Drakšanь, is a forged document for the Monastery of Chilandar attributed to King Stefan Uroš II Milutin. It summarises the possessions of Chilandar and confirms earlier donations amongst others in the town of Štip and its surroundings. The document was created in the years 1371 to 1378 during a legal dispute with the Monastery of St. Panteleimon on Mount Athos based on the existing charter of King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan from the 1330s. The charter is attesting a state of possessions of the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Štip, which was built by the Serbian nobleman Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, as they existed in the 1330s. The charter also attests the resettlement of abandoned settlements with people from foreign lands by the Serbian nobleman Hrelja (I planina Ōgraždenь i pašište Črьvena polěna. Sinorь Vasilica, sinōrь Stlьbica i Drakšanь i Petrovo i Slivnica i Knjeginja na brězničsky putь i na Frugopolovo selište).

The village is registered in the Defters for the Nahiye Kočani in the years 1519 and 1573 as Jastrebnik.
Knjeginja Place The charter, which is mentioning the boundary mark Knjeginja, is a forged document for the Monastery of Chilandar attributed to King Stefan Uroš II Milutin. It summarises the possessions of Chilandar and confirms earlier donations amongst others in the town of Štip and its surroundings. The document was created in the years 1371 to 1378 during a legal dispute with the Monastery of St. Panteleimon on Mount Athos based on the existing charter of King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan from the 1330s. The charter is attesting a state of possessions of the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Štip, which was built by the Serbian nobleman Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, as they existed in the 1330s. The charter also attests the resettlement of abandoned settlements with people from foreign lands by the Serbian nobleman Hrelja (I planina Ōgraždenь i pašište Črьvena polěna. Sinorь Vasilica, sinōrь Stlьbica i Drakšanь i Petrovo i Slivnica i Knjeginja na brězničsky putь i na Frugopolovo selište).
Kočane Place The Monastery of Saint Demetrius in Kočane owned a deserted settlement site in Jastrebnica. Jovan Oliver, the veliki sluga of the Serbian lands and Pomorje, showed favour to Simeōn, the hegumen of the Monastery of Saint Demetrius in Kočane (ja sluga veli Ōliverь stvorih milostь gospodinu mi Svetomu Dimitriju iže u Kočěnehь, a na lice igumenu Simeōnu) and entrusted Todor with the task to settle Jastrebnica (Naidohь selište pusto Svetago Dimitrija u Jastrebnicě i podahь moga člověka Todora, koi mi se prěda izь Grьkь, po ruce da naseli ōmozi selo). Jovan Oliver issued between 1332 and 1341 a charter, which specified the rights and duties concerning the reinhabited monastic land.
Krilatica Place In 1354/55 the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) gave permission to his nobleman Vlatko Paskačić to donate the Church of Sveti Nikola in Psača, which Vlatko had erected on the inherited property of his father, together with the appertaining metochion to the Monastery of Hilandar (I vьspomenu carstvu mi prěvьzljubljenʼny i pravověrnii vlastelinь carstva mi Vladko ō crьkvy svetago Nikoly jaže jestь sьzdalь na svoōi baštině Pʼsači a sь blagoslovljenijemь carstva mi...i poljubi prěd carstvomʼ mi i priloži svoju baštinu crьkvь svetago Nikoli na Psači prěsvetěi Bogorodici hilandarьskoi sь vsěmь metehōmь). Stefan Dušan enlarged Vlatko's endowment with land near Krilatica, where a certain Neōr had resided and where the Emperor had moved miners from Zletovo (I na Krilatici zemlja koja jestь ōt Trnov’ca na čimь jestь sědělь Neōrь, posadi rudare koje prěseli ōt Zljetove). The village of Krilatica is registered in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from the years 1570 to 1572.
Krupište Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) donated beekeepers with beehives near Krupište to the Monastery Hagios Panteleemon on the Holy Mount Athos on 12 June 1349 (konь krupištь). The current village of Ularci, which is located 2 km to the North-East of Krupište, probably emerged from this settlement of beekeepers. Stefan Dušan confirmed the Monastery of Sveti Petar Koriški as metochion of the Monastery of Hilandar on the sabor (state assembly) held at Krupište on 17 May 1355 (zьbor na Krupištihь; na zboru na Krupištihь). The respective charters were composed by the Serbian Logothet Gjurg in Ovče Pole. Stefan Dušan issued a third charter in favour of the Monastery of Hilandar on the same sabor at Krupište on 2 July 1355 (zborь na Krupištihь). The charter was written by the same Logothet in Ovče Pole. Also in 1355 a charter for the Church of Sveti Nikola in Dobrušta (in Kosovo) was issued by Stefan Dušan, when he was in Krupište (stoještu... vь Krupištehь). The village of Krupište is mentioned in the charter of the Serbian Despot Jovan Dragaš and his brother Konstantin Dragaš for the Monastery Hagios Panteleemon on the Holy Mount Athos, which they issued after 1376/77 (I u Krupištehь selo Ulijari i selište Butkovcь). The village of Krupište is attested in the Lesnovski pomenik (Krupišta; 16th century). It is also registered in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519, 1550 and from the years 1570 to 1572 as Kurpšta.
Ovče Pole Place The Bulgarian Khan Boris built in the 9th century churches in Ovče Pole according to a Bulgarian chronicle (i na rěcě Brěgalnici, i tu prïemь carьstvo; na Ovči poli sьzda běli crьkvi). The Vita of Saint Prohor Pčinjski (11th century) gives account about Prohor, who came from a village in Ovče Pole (ōt vesї ovčopolskija). The disarmed Pechenegs were, according to Ioannes Skylitzes, settled on the plains of Ovče Pole in the first half of the 11th century (ἀνά τε τὰς πεδιάδας τῆς Σαρδικῆς, τῆς Ναϊσσοῦ καὶ τῆς Εὐτζαπόλεως διασπείρας πάντας καὶ πᾶν ὅπλον ἀφελόμενος διὰ τὸ ἀνεπιβούλευτον). The Nicene Empire conquered in 1246 parts of Macedonia, including Ovče Pole (Νευστάπολίς). Nine years later, in 1255, the Byzantine Emperor Theodoros II. Laskaris led his army through the Ovče Pole (διὰ τῆς Νευσταπόλεως), which was a waterless and houseless area (ἄνυδρος δέ ἐστιν ὁ τόπος καὶ ἄοικος καὶ πλήθει στρατευμάτων δυσβάδιστος). Ephraim (ἅμ’ Εὐτζαπόλει, resp. διὰ Ναυτζαπόλεως ἀνύδρου τόπου) and also Theodoros Skutariotes (Νευστάπολίς, resp. διὰ τῆς Νευσταπόλεως) describe both conquests. Ovče Pole (Ovьče Polje) was incorporated in the Serbian dominion under the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin in 1282/83. A poem in honor of the Byzantine general Michael Dukas Glabas Tarchaneiotes, which is the work of the Byzantine writer Manuel Philes (13th/14th c.), mentions amongst others the Byzantine conquest of Ovče Pole (Εὐτζάπολιν δὲ συλλαβὼν Μοροβίσδου, Σκόπιά τε Σθλάβιτζαν ἐξ εὐανδρίας, Καὶ τὸν Πίαντζον καὶ τὸ περὶ τὸν Στρόμον, Καὶ τὸν περὶ Στρούμμιτζαν ἄφθονον τόπον). The region (strana) of Ovče Pole (i Ōvčepolsku) is attested in the interpolated charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Hilandar Monastery from the year 1303/1304 (or after 1331?). The byzantine-serbian border in Macedonia became the central subject of negotiations in 1308 between the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin and Charles de Valois, when the latter sought to conquer the Byzantine Empire. The area of Ovče Pole (et contrata Ouciepoullie) should remain according to the treaty in the Serbian kingdom. The Serbian annals give account about the miraculous epiphany of the Saint Nicholas to the Serbian King Stefan Uroš III Dečanski in the Church of Saint Nicholas in Ovče Pole, where the saint healed the blindness of the king (et cum fuisset in Ovczepolye, in templo S. Nicolai). The same miracle is attested in the Vita of Stefan Dečanski, which was written by Grigorij Camblak (15th century; polje ovčee imenuemo). In 1330 the scribe Stanislav finished a Slavonic manuscript in the domain of Ovče Pole in the region of Zletovo on the mountains of Lěsnovo in the Monastery of Saint Archangel Michael (vь ōblasti ōvčepolьskoi vь horě zletovstěi, vь gorě lěsnovьstěi, vь monastiri stgo arhistratiga Mihaila). The same notice in the manuscript mentions that the Serbian King Stefan Uroš III Dečanski took control over Ovče Pole (i ōvčepolьsko). In the charter of Stefan Dečanski for the Monastery of Saint Nikola Mrački (Pešterski manastir) from the year 1330 appears the term zemli Ovčepolьskoi. From the slavic colophon of the scribe Stanislav in the Menaion of the Serbian Despot Jovan Oliver for the Monastery of the Saint Archangel Michael in Lesnovo from the 1342 results, that Jovan Oliver ruled at that time over the entire area of Ovče Pole (ōblastiju vseju ōvčepolьskoju). The Serbian Emperor mentions Ovče Pole (na Ovči Poli) in his charter for the Monastery of the Saint Archangels Michael and Gabriel near Prizren. The monks of the Hilandar Monastery complained in 1355 to the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan about the border violations by the people, who lived in the villages, which belonged to Karьba (selě zem'li Kar'bin'čkoi), whereupon the governor (kefalija) of Štip named David Mihojević (poslach kjefaliju Štip'skoga Davida Michojevikja) was sent out to determine the boundaries of the monastery in this area. In the boundary description of the Hilandar Monastery near the land of Karьba also Ovče Pole is mentioned (po ōnoi straně odь Ovča Polja). The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan issued on the 2th Mai 1355 the charter for the Hilandar Monastery in Ovče Pole (na Ovči Poli). The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed on the 17th Mai 1355 at the state council (sabor) in Krupište the tenure of the Monastery of Saint Petar Koriški as metochion for the Hilandar Monastery. The charters in question were written by the Serbian Logothet Gjurg in Ovče Pole (na Ovči Poli, resp. na Ovči Polii). The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan issued on the 2th July at the state council in Krupište the third charter for the Hilandar Monastery, which was again written by the same Serbian Logothet in Ovče Pole (na Ovči Poli). In the forged charter from the 15th century, previously referred as a document issued by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the settlement Ulijare around 1318, amongst other places also Ovče Pole is mentioned (Ōvče polje). The Serbian Despot Stefan Lazarević granted in 1408/1409 a safe conduct to the ottoman troops from the area of Toplica via Kosovo to Ovče Pole (prohode kь Ovčju polju). In spring and summer of 1413 the two Ottoman pretenders to the throne Mehmed and Musa fought for supremacy on the Balkan Peninsula. Mehmed was supported by the Serbian Despot Stefan Lazarević. In the course of the military operations, Musa initially stayed in the Ovče Pole (in the Ragusan sources called Ovcepogle). Then Mehmed and Stefan Lazarević together with their troops crossed the Črьna Gora (Prěšьdьše že Črьmnu Goru) and reached the Ovče Pole (kь Ovьčju polju), where Djuradj Branković, Stefan's nephew, took command over the Serbian contingents. The Ottoman troops plundered the region of Žegligovo and Ovče Pole in 1512 (to lěto plěniše Turci Žegligovo, Ovče Polě). Ovče Pole is registered in the Defters for the Sanjak Köstendil between the years 1570 and 1572 as a summer pasture. Ovče Pole (Ovče polje is mentioned in the Pomenik from 15th–18th century. The Serbian scribe and copyist Jerotej Račanin travelled through the Ovče Pole on his pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1704. He describes the area of Ovče Pole as beautiful, rich in fields, grain, vineyards and all kinds of fruit, with beautiful rivers and cold, pure sources, with cities and villages.
Petrova reka Place The charter, which is mentioning the Petrova river, is a forged document for the Monastery of Chilandar attributed to King Stefan Uroš II Milutin. It summarises the possessions of Chilandar and confirms earlier donations amongst others in the town of Štip and its surroundings. The document was created in the years 1371 to 1378 during a legal dispute with the Monastery of St. Panteleimon on Mount Athos based on the existing charter of King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan from the 1330s. The charter is attesting a state of possessions of the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Štip, which was built by the Serbian nobleman Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, as they existed in the 1330s. The charter also attests the resettlement of abandoned settlements with people from foreign lands by the Serbian nobleman Hrelja (I planina Ōgraždenь i pašište Črьvena polěna. Sinorь Vasilica, sinōrь Stlьbica i Drakšanь i Petrovo i Slivnica i Knjeginja na brězničsky putь i na Frugopolovo selište).
Prьvince Place In 1354/55 the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) gave permission to his nobleman Vlatko Paskačić to donate the Church of Sveti Nikola in Psača, which Vlatko had erected on the inherited property of his father, together with the appertaining metochion to the Monastery of Hilandar (I vьspomenu carstvu mi prěvьzljubljenʼny i pravověrnii vlastelinь carstva mi Vladko ō crьkvy svetago Nikoly jaže jestь sьzdalь na svoōi baštině Pʼsači a sь blagoslovljenijemь carstva mi...i poljubi prěd carstvomʼ mi i priloži svoju baštinu crьkvь svetago Nikoli na Psači prěsvetěi Bogorodici hilandarьskoi sь vsěmь metehōmь). Stefan Dušan enlarged Vlatko's endowment with the village of Prьvince. He donated it to the Monastery of Hilandar together with all its rights, its hillock and summer pasture (selo Prьvin’ce sь vsěmi pravinami i sь ōbrьšijemь i sь planinōmь).
Slivnica Place The charter, which is mentioning the mountain Slivnica, is a forged document for the Monastery of Chilandar attributed to King Stefan Uroš II Milutin. It summarises the possessions of Chilandar and confirms earlier donations amongst others in the town of Štip and its surroundings. The document was created in the years 1371 to 1378 during a legal dispute with the Monastery of St. Panteleimon on Mount Athos based on the existing charter of King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan from the 1330s. The charter is attesting a state of possessions of the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Štip, which was built by the Serbian nobleman Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, as they existed in the 1330s. The charter also attests the resettlement of abandoned settlements with people from foreign lands by the Serbian nobleman Hrelja (I planina Ōgraždenь i pašište Črьvena polěna. Sinorь Vasilica, sinōrь Stlьbica i Drakšanь i Petrovo i Slivnica i Knjeginja na brězničsky putь i na Frugopolovo selište).
Stlьbica Place The charter, which is mentioning the boundary mark Stlьbica, is a forged document for the Monastery of Chilandar attributed to King Stefan Uroš II Milutin. It summarises the possessions of Chilandar and confirms earlier donations amongst others in the town of Štip and its surroundings. The document was created in the years 1371 to 1378 during a legal dispute with the Monastery of St. Panteleimon on Mount Athos based on the existing charter of King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan from the 1330s. The charter is attesting a state of possessions of the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Štip, which was built by the Serbian nobleman Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, as they existed in the 1330s. The charter also attests the resettlement of abandoned settlements with people from foreign lands by the Serbian nobleman Hrelja (I planina Ōgraždenь i pašište Črьvena polěna. Sinorь Vasilica, sinōrь Stlьbica i Drakšanь i Petrovo i Slivnica i Knjeginja na brězničsky putь i na Frugopolovo selište).
Toplica Place The village Toplica is mentioned in both fragmentary notes on the back of the charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Church of the Holy Mother of God Peribleptos in Ōhrid from 14th century (selo Toplica i manastirь sveti Nikolu ni desetkь vini i gumniština i popisaniju sigilь v mestè eksarštine; selo Tžupnica i manastirь Svety Nikola u ki desetkь vini igumenьština i popisaniju sigilь v město eksarštine).
Toplica, Monastery of St. Nicholas Place The Monastery of St. Nicholas is situated at the foot of Plakenska Mountain and near the right bank of the Crna Reka, between the villages of Sloeštica, Babino and Žvan. Of the former Monastery complex, only the church dedicated St. Nicholas has been preserved to this day. It was built in several construction phases, through centuries. It was first built probably in the 5th or 6th century, and later in the 14th century. Today's Church was built by Dimitar Pepik from Kratovo in the 16th century. In the narthex, along with the signature of the painter Jovan dated in 1534-1535, the name of the founder Dimitar Pepić is also written. Its a single nave edifice with a narthex (which has on the North and South side chapels), apse and a semicircular vault. The Monastery of Sveti Nikola near Toplica is mentioned in both fragmentary notes on the back of the charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Church of the Holy Mother of God Peribleptos in Ōhrid from 14th century (selo Toplica i manastirь sveti Nikolu ni desetkь vini i gumniština i popisaniju sigilь v mestè eksarštine; selo Tžupnica i manastirь Svety Nikola u ki desetkь vini igumenьština i popisaniju sigilь v město eksarštine). A tetraevangelion from the end of the 14th century and the beginning of 15th century probably comes from the scriptorium of the monastery. A colophone from the menaion for the March and April copied between 1535-1536, which is stored in the University Library in Belgrade, mentions the abbot Makarij and the monks of Sveti Nikola in the place called Toplica. An inscription in the form of a prayer on the icon of Jesus Christ the Savior attests the name of the donor Dimitar Pepiḱ and the date 1542/1543, when the inscription was made.
Trьnovac Place The village of Trьnovac is mentioned in the boundary description of the former land of Neōr near Krilatica (I na Krilatici zemlja koja jestь ōt Trnov’ca na čimь jestь sědělь Neōrь, posadi rudare koje prěseli ōt Zljetove) and in the delimitation of the Church of Sveta Petka (I crьkvь svetu Pet’ku jaže jestь nad Trnov’ci Nikodimovu, s metehōmь teje i sь vsěmi pravinami), which were donated by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) to the Monastery of Hilandar as an enlarged endowment of the metochion of the nobleman Vlatko Paskačić in 1354/55.

The current village of Ularci, which is located 2 km to the North-East of Krupište, probably emerged from this settlement of beekeepers. The Serbian Despot Jovan Dragaš and his brother Konstantin Dragaš confirmed the donation of the village of Ulijari to the Monastery Hagios Panteleemon on the Holy Mount Athos after 1376/77 (I u Krupištehь selo Ulijari).
Vetunica Place In 1354/55 the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) gave permission to his nobleman Vlatko Paskačić to donate the Church of Sveti Nikola in Psača, which Vlatko had erected on the inherited property of his father, together with the appertaining metochion to the Monastery of Hilandar (I vьspomenu carstvu mi prěvьzljubljenʼny i pravověrnii vlastelinь carstva mi Vladko ō crьkvy svetago Nikoly jaže jestь sьzdalь na svoōi baštině Pʼsači a sь blagoslovljenijemь carstva mi...i poljubi prěd carstvomʼ mi i priloži svoju baštinu crьkvь svetago Nikoli na Psači prěsvetěi Bogorodici hilandarьskoi sь vsěmь metehōmь).

Ōhrid Place The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan mentioned the town of Ōhrid in the donation of the church of St. John the Theologian and other possessions near Ōhrid to the Monastery of Treskavec (Metohь vь Ōhridě Prokaḟimeny i crьkovь Svety Iōanь Bogoslovьcь, sь nivijemь, sь vinogrady, sь lovištemь, sь mlini, sь vrьtomь, sь vsěmi pravinami). Most probably in autumn 1345 the same King issued a charter for the Church of the Virgin Peribleptos in Ōhrid.
Ōtьrьštica Place In 1354/55 the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) gave permission to his nobleman Vlatko Paskačić to donate the Church of Sveti Nikola in Psača, which Vlatko had erected on the inherited property of his father, together with the appertaining metochion to the Monastery of Hilandar (I vьspomenu carstvu mi prěvьzljubljenʼny i pravověrnii vlastelinь carstva mi Vladko ō crьkvy svetago Nikoly jaže jestь sьzdalь na svoōi baštině Pʼsači a sь blagoslovljenijemь carstva mi...i poljubi prěd carstvomʼ mi i priloži svoju baštinu crьkvь svetago Nikoli na Psači prěsvetěi Bogorodici hilandarьskoi sь vsěmь metehōmь). Stefan Dušan enlarged Vlatko's endowment with the village of Ōtьrьštica. He donated it to the Monastery of Hilandar together with all its rights up to Sracin (I selo Ōtьrьštica sь vsěmi pravinami sela togo, do Sracina po vrьhu planine kako se vali kamenь ōvamo). The village of Ōtьrьštica is registered as Oturošnica in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from the years 1570 to 1572.
Štip, The Church od Saint Nicholas Place The grand duke Jovan Oliver donated the Church of Saint Nicholas in Štip with the priest Sifievь (u štipě svety nikola pop sifievь). The Serbian Emperor confirmed the endowment of Jovan Oliver and enlarged it for the bishopric of Zletovo. It consisted of the Church of Saint Nicholas in Štip, the priest Sifievь with all patrimonial estate, land, field, vineyard and 20 čьbьrь (I šte priloži svetoje carьstvo mi episkopïi crьkvi Arhaggelu u Zletovoi, u gradu Štipu crьkvь svetago Nikoly pop Sifievu sь vsomь baštinomь i sь zemlomь i s niviemь i s vinogradi, i k. čьbьrь, i sь vsěmь ōtьtesomь crьkve te).
Župa of Morava Place In ca. 1189/90 the Serbian Grand Župan Stefan Nemanja (reigned 1166/68-1196) incorporated Morava into his realm (Priloži že kĭ zemli otčĭstvïa svojego oblastĭ nyševĭskuju do konca, Lypljanĭ že i Moravu i glagoljemy Vrani, prizrěnĭsku že oblastĭ i Pologa oba do konca sĭ megami svoimi.). In ca. 1299/1300 the Byzantine Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos (reigned 1295-1320) donated the village of Mērana in (the župa of) Morava to the Monastery of Sveti Nikita (χωρίον διακείμενον εἰς τὴν Μοράβαν καὶ ἐπονομαζόμενον τὴν Μηράναν). In a charter of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (reigned 1282-1328), at the instigation of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321), in ca. 1299/1300 (or 1308?) for the Tower of Hrusija (Pyrgos Basileiu) of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos the donation of the village of Izmira in Morava is confirmed (I selo u Moravě narekomoje Izmira). In the first quarter of the 14th century Morava was part of the Bishopric of Lipljan (po Moravě). The forged transcript A of the collective charter of the Serbian King Milutin for the Monastery of Chilandar from the years 1303-1304 (or after 1331) reports that the village of S'mira in Morava was granted to the Monastery of Sveti Nikita near Skopje and afterwards to the Tower of Hrusija (Pyrgos Basileiu) in the vicinity of the Monastery of Chilandar by the Serbian King (i u Moravě selo S'mira ... To vʼse utʼvrьdivь i zapisavь dahь Svetomu Nikitě, a Svetago Nikitu dahь mojemu pirʼgu sь vʼsěmь jego utʼvrьždenijemь). In 1342 the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) issued a charter in favour of the starec Ioanĭ in Morava donating to him the Monastery of Sveti Nikola Mrački for lifelong subsistence (u Moravě). According to Siniša Mišić the medieval Serbian župa of Morava is to be localised along the river Binačka Morava.
