Description
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).

| Prostagma Charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Hilandar Monastery | Source | The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan issued the prostagma charter in order to confirm proprietorial rights of the Hilandar Monastery over an area in the Strumica region. The charter might have been written between 1349 and 1353. |
| Stefan Uroš IV Dušan's General Charter for the Monastery of Hilandar | Source | The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan's issued the so-called "General Charter (Opšta hrisovulja)" to the Monastery of Hilandar, through which he confirmed all previous donations and records of the land-inventory of the monastery. Although the charter bears the date 1348, it is with the utmost probability not an original. Lidija Slaveva considers the charter to be a copy that was written after the year 1365. |
| Štip St. Archangel Michael 2 | Source | The present charter is a falsified document of Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, which confirms the donation of the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Štip to the Monastery of Chilandar. The date given in the document is the year 1336, but, based on the king's signature and the changes in the typologies of the mentioned settlements, it seems that it has to be dated in the years before the coronation of Stefan Dušan to emperor (i.e. 1343 to 1345). |
