Bratanь (2) Person He wrote a graffiti on the fresco of Christ Antiphonetes between 1340–1350 in the Church of Saint George in Gorni Kozjak. Zagorka Rasolkoska-Nikolovska proposed that Bratanь came from Macedonia to the road called after the village Kozjak (da dodohomь na ptь Kosnačiki). Her interpretation has been challenged by Nikolaj Ovčarov, who suggests the reading „I, Bratanь, together with Macedonia came on Friday for these two services“ (azь Bratanь sь [i] Makedoniě da dodohomь na pętьkь o siě čini).

The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the donation and approved the claims of the Hilandar Monastery on the property. He also exempted the subordinates of Kar’b and all free people, who wished to settle near the church, from all the services for the Serbian king (I pride[a] kraljevьstvo mi crьkvь svetu Petku na Brěgalnici, što jestь zidalь Kar’ba samь svoima rukama i sь trudomь pace i popisьlь i ukrasilь krasotami crьkvnimi, da jestь metohь svete Bogorodice hilan’dar’ske sь vinogradomь i sь nivjemь i sěnokosi, pače i pašišta i zemlja, što mu je dalь gospodinь i roditelь kraljevьstva mi, i tu da si ima crьkvь.

Karbinci Place The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) donated the hamlet of Karbinci with all its boundaries to the Monastery of Hilandar after 1343 (i zaselьkь Kar’bin’ci sь vsěmь sinoromь). The villages on the land of Karba were the subject of a dispute between the monks of the Monastery of Hilandar and the guards (bьci) of the Emperor. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Dušan sent David Mihojević, the kefalija (governor) of Štip, in order to determine the boundaries of the disputed land. He issued a charter on this occasion and confirmed that Monastery of Hilandar has the right over the land with the boundaries determined by David Mihojević (Ima htěnije i povelěva carьstvō mi da je vědomo vsakomu kako pridě igumenь v’sečьstьni světogorski Bogorodice hilandarske Dorothei i sь star’ci i govori carьstvu mi ō selě zem’li Kar’bin’čkoi kao je ima crьkovь u hrisovuli a sьgi je ne drьže.

I prišdь Davidь spovedь carьstvu mi kako jestь megju nimi utьk’milь i ōdtesali zemlju kude mi spoved Davidь). The possession of the village of Karbinci with all its rights by the Monastery of Hilandar was confirmed by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Dušan in 1348 (I na Bregalnici selo Karbin’ci sь pravinami si). In the charter of the Serbian Despot Konstantin Dragaš from 1388/89, concerning the endowment of the Duke Dmitrь for the Monastery of Hilandar, the village of Karbinci is attested in the boundary description of the village of Kozijak (A se megja sela toga Kozijaka: tere na gradište vse po dělu megju Arьgjuricomь i megju Karьbinьci). The village of Karbinci is registered in the Defters for the Sanjak Köstendil in 1519, 1550 and from the years 1570 to 1572.
