Kavadarci, Drenovo, The Church of the Virgin Mary Place The church dedicated to Virgin is located near the village of Drenovo (Дреново), about 13 kilometers west of Kavadarci. Architecture: The Church of the Virgin in Drenova has not been preserved in its authentic form. The biggest renovation of the church took place at the beginning of the 19th century, when the northern and western walls of the church were rebuilt, and the southern wall was lowered. At the same time, a wooden gallery was built on the west side. Despite these changes to the original construction, it is possible to reconstruct the original architectural structure of the building. From the point of view of architectural typology, the church is a very interesting achievement. It is a special combination of a basilica and a church of the inscribed cross. The base of the inscribed cross has a nave, with a dome resting on massive pilasters, which are connected on the south, north and west sides by two-arched passages supported by columns. On the eastern side, there is a spacious altar space, the apse of which is semicircular on the inside, and five-sided on the outside. The space below the dome is surrounded on three sides by aisled spaces which ends on the eastern part with pastophoria. The side aisles of the ambulatory had galleries. The central aisle of the western part of the ambulatory, that is, the narthex, was also surmounted by a dome, or blind calotte. Sculptural Decoration: A certain part of the original sculptural decoration has been preserved in the Church of the Virgin in Drenova. The first group within the architectural sculpture of the church consists of spolia, probably taken from the nearby early Christian basilica in Mutičanski dol. The second group includes the sculptures that are still in the church today (a fragment built into the north jamb of the west door, the mullion of an altar bifora, the capitals of the columns, etc.), as well as the fragments that are kept in the Archaeological Museum in Sofia. The fragments are decorated with floral motifs, crosses and fantastic animals (griffins, lions). On the basis of stylistic peculiarities, i.e. the closest analogies (sculpture of the church of St. Sophia in Ohrid, fragments from the church of St. Stephen in Konča), the architectural sculpture from Drenovo is mostly dated to the 11th century. Moreover, it was assumed that the sculpture from Drenovo and Konče were made by the same workshop. Dating: On the basis of the presented architectural features of the church, i.e. the stylistic features of the sculptural decoration, the prevailing opinion in the scientific literature is that it is a monument of Byzantine architecture of the 11th century. In recent times, however, a different opinion has been expressed about the time of the creation of the church in Drenovo. Contrary to the views of her predecessors, Marica Šuput believes that the church was built in the fifth or sixth decade of the 14th century. She claims, that it could be the endowment of a Serbian nobleman from the time of king/emperor Dušan. In doing so, the author has in mind first of all the architectural features of the building, to which she finds the closest analogies in the church of the Virgin Olimpiotissa in Elassona, built in the second quarter of the mentioned century. Apart from that, Šuput believes that certain examples of architectural plastic due to their stylistic peculiarities belong to the art of the 14th century, which, although without explanation, was also considered by some earlier researchers (G. Petrov). Furthermore, Marica Šuput also takes into account the content of the very damaged fresco-inscription above the southern entrance to the building, in which, according to the reading of Radoslav Grujić, published by Vojislav Radovanović, is mentioned painter Dimitar who decorated the church in the time of emperor Stefan. Finally, the author draws attention to the fact that in 1378 Konstantin Dragaš donated a church to the monastery of Saint Panteleimon on Mount Athos.
Kolešino Place The village of Kolešino 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 in connection with the donated Church of the Saint Nicholas as its alias. The charter was issued after 1376/1377 (I u těhzi metohiahь što su crьkve baštin᾿ske, i to priložismo: Svety Nikola Draguševь, Svetyi Nikola Kolešinь). The village of Kolešino is registered in the Defters for the Nahiya Strumica in the year 1519 and 1570/1573.

The Serbian Despot Konstantin Dragaš donated after 1376/1377 the Church of Saint George in Pološko and the village Pološko to the Monastery Hagios Panteleemon on the Holy Mount Athos (I ešte priložihь u Tikvešu... i nadь gradomь crьkovь Svety Georgie Položky na rěcě Črьnoi sь sely: selo Pološko).

Ivanov and Matanov assume that the church was in the city Sandanski, which was called Sveti Vrač till 1949.
Tarahin’cь Place The village of Tarahin’cь is mentioned in the boundary description of the village Karbinci (I skaza počьn’še ōdь Tarahin’cь putemь). The village Karbinci and the land of Kar’ba were subject of dispute between the monks of the Hilandar Monastery and the guards of the emperor. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV sent David Mihojević, the kefalija (governor) of Štip, in order to determine the boundaries of the disputed land. The Serbian emperor issued on 8th of June 1355 a chrysobull charter. He confirmed the right of the Hilandar Monastery over the village and the land with the boundaries determined by David Mihojević. The Čelnik Stanislavь donated the church of Saint Blaise (Sveti Vlasije) to the Hilandar Monastery. He endowed it with the settlement site Tarahin’ci (Tarahninci). Stanislav asked the Serbian Despot Konstantin for permission to settle the place with people, hence might be suggested, that the site was deserted.

Dmitrь (3) Person Probably identical with the duke Dmitrь. He is attested for the first time as milostnikь (guarantee of the legal procedure) in the charter of the Serbian Despot Konstantin Dragaš for the Hilandar Monastery concerning the Monastery of Saint Archangel Michael in Lesnovo from 15th August 1381. He is also mentioned in the charter of the Serbian Despot Konstantin Dragaš for the Hilandar Monastery from the year 1388 and the confirmation charter of the Serbian Despot Konstantin Dragaš for the Church of Ascension in the Štip from 26th March 1388, which has been preserved in the Monastery Hagios Panteleemon on the Holy Mount Athos. The expression „istini i vьsesrьdьčni surodnikь i brat gospodstva mi vojevoda Dmitrь“ used in both charters was perceived by Matanov as a description of blood relationship between Konstantin Dragaš and Dmitrь. Matanov assumes that Dmitrь was the son of Dejan (Dragaš) and Konstantin was his brother. Dmirь got three villages (Kozjak, Rurak and Krivi Dol) as his inherited property from the Serbian Despot Konstantin Dragaš for his loyal service (I sela iže jestь iznašьlь brat gospodstva mi vojevoda Dmitrь, iže mu jestь darovalo gospodstvo mi za jegovo pravověrno porabotanie). Dmitrь bought before 1388 an estate in the town of Štip and erected the Church of Ascension on this place (I město ježe jestь iznašьlь bratь gospodstva mi Dmitrь vojevoda i kupilь u Štipu gradu sь v’sěmi pravinami města togo, ideže i sьzidalь otь osnovania crьkvь Vьznesenia Gospoda Boga i spasa naša Iisusa Hrista). Dmitrь endowed the Church of Ascension in Štip with the three villages and other properties and asked the Serbian Despot Konstantin Dragaš to legalise his donation. The Serbian Despot confirmed his endowment in front of witnesses. Probably in the same year Dmitrь petitioned the Serbian Despot again. He donated the Church of Ascencion in Štip with the possessions and rights to the Hilandar Monastery. Konstantin Dragaš allowed and confirmed the transaction of Dmitrь in a separate charter). Mentioned in the supplicant inscription on the facade above the southern door of the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin in Kučevište. The inscription can be dated between 1331 and 1334. His parents were Dejanь and Vladislava. His brother was Iō(v)anь. He appears in the supplicant inscription on the facade above the southern door of the church of the Presentation of the Virgin in Kučevište (Primi gdi moleniie rabe svoie Vladislave i čěda eie Iōvana i Dmitra bg da ihь pomene v carstva svoemь).

Kïriakь Person Mentioned in the charter of the Serbian Despot Jovan Dragaš and his brother Konstantin Dragaš for the Monastery Hagios Panteleemon on Holy Mount Athos, which was issued after 1376/1377. He was a knjez. He probably founded the Church of Saint Stephen in the town of Strumica. The Serbian Despot Jovan Dragaš and his brother Konstantin Dragaš donated the church with a land, a vineyard, people and the knjez Kïriakь to the Monastery Hagios Panteleemon on the Holy Mount Athos (I vynu priložismo u Strumici Svetago Stefana, crьkovь Kïriaka knjeza sь ljudmi, sь vinogrady, zemljomь).
Laskaris, Konstantinos Palaiologos Person It is very unlikely that he was identical with Konstantinos Laskaris, who was a resident at Serres in 1377. He was the issuer of the donation deed for the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos from June 1374. The charter refers to him as κῦρ and δοῦλος of the Byzantine Emperor Ioannes V Palaiologos. He was the son of Makarios Laskaris Koteanitzes. His brothers were Georgios Laskaris and Leon Koteanitzes Laskaris. He inherited the village Mpresnitza near the town of Strumica from his mother. His father donated in 1364 the village Mpresnitza to the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos. The monks from the Hilandar Monastery accused his father of unlawful seizure of their land. Konstantinos Palaiologos Laskaris appealed the case to the patriarchal tribunal requesting to nullify the donation on account of the inalienability of the dowry. After he received a favourable decision from the patriarch, he confirmed in June 1374 the donation of the village Mpresnitza to the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos as legal (τὸ μητρόθεν μοι περιελθὸν εἰς κληρονομίαν χωρίον περὶ τὴν Στρούμπιτζαν μὲν εὐρισκόμενον, Μπρέσνιτζαν δὲ ἐπονομαζόμενον, μετὰ πάσης ἧς νῦν ἔχει νομῆς καὶ περιοχῆς).
Laskaris, Makarios Koteanitzes Person Mentioned in the two variants of the chrysobull charter confirming the donations of Hrelja to the Hilandar Monastery in the area of Štip and Strumica issued by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan and in the decision of the Protaton on Mount Athos from December 1370. Died before 1374. He appeared as κῦρ in the decision of the Protaton on Mount Athos from December 1370. He was a monk. He was the father of Konstantinos Palaiologos Laskaris, Georgios Laskaris and Leon Koteanitzes Laskaris. He donated in 1364 the village Mpresnitza to the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos. The monks from the Hilandar Monastery accused him of an unlawful seizure of their land (οὗ τινος δὴ χωρίου γῆ προσηνέχθη μετὰ τοῦ δηλωθέντος χρυσοβούλλου παρὰ τοῦ ἐν μοναχοῖς κῦρ Μακαρίω Λάσκαρη τοῦ Κοτεανίτζη, ὅπερ μετὰ δολιότητος διὰ τὸ κλαπῆναι καὶ τὸ χρυσόβουλλον παρὰ τῶν δηλωθέντων Ῥωσῶν, καὶ συναρπαγεῖς ὁ Λάσκαρις ἐξέδοτο καὶ πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ τοιοῦτος τόπος). They insisted on their claim on the grounds of a chrysobull granted to their monastery. The Protaton on Mount Athos gathered in December 1370 at the behest of the Serbian Despot Ioan Uglješa (Ioannes Unklesis) ruled the dispute over the village of Mpresnitza in favour of the Hilandar Monastery. Makarios Koteanitzes Laskaris probably possessed also the village of Sekirnik and a parcel of land (Selište Sekir’nik i komat zemlje što jestь drьžalь Laskarь Kotanicь/Selo Sěkir’nykь i zem’lja što jestь drьžalь Laskarь Kotanicь).
