Apokavkos Person Mentioned in the chrysobull charter of the Byzantine Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos from 1299/1300 for the Monastery of Saint Niketas near Skopje, in the Serbian translation of the chrysobull charter of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos for the Tower of Hrusija of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos from 1299/1300 (or 1308) and in the chrysobull charter from 1300 issued by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg near Skopje. He was the owner of a place near Dol'neje Kuč'kovo before 1299, which was then named after him (καὶ ἕτερον τόπον ἐπονομαζόμενον τοῦ Ἀποκαύκου, διήκοντα μέχρι τοῦ ἐκεῖσε ἱσταμένου τιμίου σταυροῦ/I drugoje město narečenoje Apokavkovo, ōpirajušti do krьsta). He founded a church of Saint George. The Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin donated the church of Saint George, 60 ruined houses around the church and the courtyard of Apokavkos to the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg near Skopje (I prida kraljevstvo mi Apokavʼkovu crьkьvь Svetago Geōrgija i ōkolo njega ks. kukjamь rьpiniie ōdь Careva druma koi grede ōd Serave kь Svetoi Trojeručnici us put koi ide kь Ōbloi pirʼzě, do puta koi ide pod Mōshemь, koi grede Kuklevi i do Golьka.

Grьdo Person Mentioned in the scribal annotation of the priest Nikola from Skopje in the manuscript located in the library of the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos. The terminus post quem of the note is 1313, because Nikola reports on the victory of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II. Milutin over the Turks in Asia Minor (vь dьni Uroša kralě Milutina egda pobi Turkẽ vь Grьcěhь). He was a priest. He was the brother or spiritual brother of Nikola (popu Grьdu bratu mi). He lived in Vinyka according to the scribal annotation. Ivanov locates Vinyka either in Viniče in Skopska Crna Gora, or in Vinica, which is in the region of Kočani. Kravari identifies Vinyka with Viništa. He was the recipient of the copy of the Book of Acts and Evangeliary made by Nikola (Pisa sẽ sija kniga vь Skopi grade popu Grьdu bratu mi ot Vinyka).
Nikola (2) Person Identical with Nikola 1? Mentioned in the scribal annotation of the priest Nikola from Skopje in the manuscript located in the library of the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos. The terminus post quem of the note is 1313, because Nikola reports on the victory of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II. Milutin over the Turks in Asia Minor (vь dьni Uroša kralě Milutina egda pobi Turkẽ vь Grьcěhь). He was a priest. He was the brother or the spiritual brother of the priest Grьdo (popu Grьdu bratu mi). He copied a Book of Acts and Evangeliary in Skopje and dedicated it to the priest Grьdo from Vinyka (Pisa sẽ sija kniga vь Skopi grade popu Grьdu bratu mi ot Vinyka).
Nikola (3) Person Mentioned in the collective charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin and Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Tower of Hrusija at the Monastery of Hilandar on Mount Athos. The chrysobull charter is a diplomatic forgery with an authentic content. It consists of four transcripts. The compilation of charters was created in the Hilandar monastery for the needs of the monastic community between 1336 and the second half of the 14th century. He was the Bishop of Skopje. His name appears only in the collective charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Tower of Hrusija at the Monastery of Hilandar on Mount Athos. The collective charter drew its information probably from the older Assembly chrysobull, which was composed around 1303 (jepiskupomь skopskymь Nikolomь).

He rebelled against the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II before 1326. His aim was to govern the western parts of the empire and Macedonia independently. He plotted with his brothers-in-law, the governors of Melnik and Strumica and asked also his son-in-law Stefan Uroš III. Dečanski for help. They plundered together Macedonia and reached the river Strymon and the town Serres. Andronikos II. offered him the insignia of a καῖσαρ, in order to end the revolt. He received the embassy of Andronikos II. in Skopje. He accepted the offer and promised to keep the peace. He also wanted to go back to Thessalonike, but died soon after an illness in Skopje. Both Manuel Philes and Theodoros Metochites composed an epitaph for him.

The Byzantine Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos mentioned the town of Skopje in his donation to the monastery of Saint Nikita in the years 1299/1300 (πλησίον [τῶν Σκοπίων]). In 1299/1300 or 1308 a Serbian version of a charter by Andronikos II Palaiologos - at the instigation of the Serbian king Stefan Uroš II Milutin - confirmed the donations made by Michael IX (ō priloženi ježe vь Skopi ). In both charters the Upper Town of Skopje is also mentioned (kь gradu Skopьskomu/ἀπὸ τοῦ κάστρου τῶν Σκοπίων). The Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin confirmed the donations by Tsar Constantine I Asen and added new properties to the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg (svetago i velikago mučenika Hristova Gjeōrgiïa prěmo Skopiju gradu na Seravě na brьdě rekoměmь Verьginь). On 1 January 1345 the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan issued a charter in Skopje concerning the Tower of Hrusija on the Holy Mount Athos. In the period from April until August 1346 King Stefan Dušan enacted a series of charters in Skopje for several monasteries on the Holy Mount Athos, for Georgios Phokopoulos and for Dubrovnik. In the year 1346/47 the same King mentioned the town of Skopje in the foundation charter of the episcopal see in Zletovo (такодже и подвигосмо всечьстнѹю Скопию), which he most probably issued in Skopje itself. On 21 May 1349 Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan issued a charter for the anagnost Dragoje in Skopje. In the years 1354/55 the same Emperor enacted a charter in Skopje for the Church of the Presentation of the Theotokos in Arhiljevica. Petančić mentioned it in 1522 as Scopia.
