(Paskačić) Vladko Person Mentioned in the charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan concerning the Church of Saint Nicholas in Psača from 1354/1355 and in the inscription accompanying his painted portrait in the Church of Saint Nicholas in Psača. The portrait of Vlatko was painted probably between 1365 and 1371. He appears as prěvьzljubljenʼny i pravověrnii vlastelinь carstva mi in the charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan. The inscription describes him as sevastokratorь vse srьpьske zemlie vladko. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan gave in 1354/1355 permission to his nobleman Vladko (Paskačić) to donate the Church of Saint Nicholas in Psača, which Vladko erected on the inherited property of his father Paskačь, together with the appertaining metochion to the Hilandar Monastery (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). The painted portrait of Vladko is preserved on the southern wall of the narthex in the Church of Saint Nicholas in Psača. The fresco displays him with his whole family. The representation of Vladko and his father Paskać, who are hoisting the model of the church to the icon of Saint Nicholas, can be described as an act of the joint ktetorship.
(Povika?) Radoslav’ Person Identical with Radoslav Chlapen (Radoslabos Chlapenos)?. The old editor of the charter read the passage in the manuscript, which described his occupation, as Tornik and explained the word as his family name. He appears in the sources from 1355 to 1368. The charter refers to him as κῦρ. He was the Governor of Prizren, 1355?, Governor of Serres and čelnik (κεφαλῆς κῦρ τζελνίκου τοῦ Ῥαδοσθλάβου), 1365-1368. He was a relative and an oikeios of the Serbian Empress Jelena (Helene), presumably her son-in-law (τοῦ οἰκείου τε τῆ κραταιᾶ καὶ ἁγία ἡμῶν κυρία καὶ δεσποίνη καὶ γαμβροῦ ταύτης). According to the hypothesis of Konstantin Jireček Radoslav was the brother of čelnik Miloš and logotet Gjurgь from the Povika family. His name was interpolated in the falsified chrysobull charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan from 1355, which confirmed the Monastery of Saint Petar Koriški as a metochion for the Hilandar Monastery. It can be inferred from context of the charter that he was at that time Governor of Prizren. He was an assessor in the court summoned by Sabas, the Metropolitan of Serres. The court decided the dispute over a plot of land in the village Zetinon (Zintzu) and a Church of Saint George in favor of the Esphigmenu Monastery against the Kastamonitu Monastery. He signed in August 1365 the charter issued on this occasion in Slavonic (Kefalja Radoslav’). He wrote to the Ragusan republic and confirmed that the belongings of the deceased logotet Gjurgь were rightly bequeathed to his second brother Miloš. He issued the respective document „in domo suo in civitate Serrarum“ on the 15th May 1368.
Georgios (7) Person He appears ὁ ὀικεῖος αὐτῇ κύριος Γεώργιος ὁ λογοθέτης in the prostagma charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Saint Anastasia Monastery near Zichna from February 1352. He was the logothetь of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, 1349–1355. He worked also as a logothetь for the Serbian Empress Jelena (Helena), the wife of Stefan Uroš IV Dušan and the mother of Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš V. (siju knigu dade Gjurgь logothetь gospožde carice presvetěi bogorodici Gory Sinaiskyje, bog da go prostit). According to the hypothesis of Konstantin Jireček he was the brother of Radoslav’, the Governor of Serres, and čelnik Miloš from the Povika family. In 1361 the Ragusan republic sequestrated the deposited money of Georgios for the purpose of war (Prima pars est, de accipiendo de manibus Milçe de Lebro denarios Jurech Logofeti, et ponere ipsos in manibus comunis pro serviçiis guerre). On 27th February 1367 Georgios sent his will from his residence in Thessalonike to the Ragusan republic. His decision was to sell his property and belongings in Ragusa administrated by Milac Lebrović and Lovro Razumenović. He donated according to the testament the earned sum and also other gifts, including notary’s books, to his relative Živko Dlьžić (prědal dobitьkь i rěznicu moju vašimь Dubrovčanomь, na ime Milcu Dumonikju i Lavretevi Razumenikju, a bě i vsi znate a ōdь vasь ne se utajalo. Da znate vlastele, moja bratija, ere sьmь bilь dlьžьnь ō-davno za mnogo godištь za potrebe, koe ni je iznosilь Živko, sinь Radoslava Dlьžica, vašь Dubrovčaninь, za mnogo mu sьmь drьžnь bilь do denesь, ere ni jestь rodinь krьvьno, a i da znate, vlastele, ere mu prodahь i darovahь vesь moi dobětьkь i riznicu, što mi je u Dubrovnici, no je na Milci Dumoniki i na Lavrete Razumenoviku, i kuke i vinograde, inonikatske knige da e volьnь Živko uprašati i prodati i knigami inonikatskimi i kaželeriskimi, kleti se i dušiti se na moju dušu, kakono ja samь Gjuregь logofetь, i da slobodi, kogo mu se vidi, kano ja samь Gjuregь logofetь. a sezi mu prodahь i darovahь u Sulune na ·kz· dьnь febrara měseca). His brother Radoslav’, the Governor of Serres, wrote to the Ragusan republic and confirmed that the belongings of the deceased logotet Georgios (Gjurgь) were rightly bequeathed to his second brother Miloš. He issued the respective document „in domo suo in civitate Serrarum“ on the 15th May 1368.
Neōr Person Mentioned in the charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Hilandar Monastery from 1354/1355. He possessed a land between the village Krilatica and Trьnovac. His land was donated by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan to the Hilandar Monastery. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan moved the miners from Zletovo and settled them on the former land of Neōr (I na Krilatici zemlja koja jestь ōt Trnov’ca na čimь jestь sědělь Neōrь, posadi rudare koje prěseli ōt Zljetove).
Nikodimь (1) Person Mentioned in the charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Hilandar Monastery from 1354/1355. He erected the Church of Saint Petka above the village Trьnovac. The church was donated by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan with its metochion and all rights to the Hilandar Monastery. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan added the church to the endowment of Vlatko Paskačić and his Church of Saint Nikola in Psača (I crьkvь svetu Pet’ku jaže jestь nad Trnov’ci Nikodimovu, s metehōmь teje i sь vsěmi pravinami).
Paskačь Person He was already dead before 1354/1355. He held the title of knezь. He and his son Vladko founded together the Church of Saint Nicholas in Psača. The painted portrait of Paskač is preserved on the southern wall of the narthex in the Church of Saint Nicholas in Psača. The fresco displays him with his whole family. The representation of Paskač and his son Vladko, who are hoisting the model of the church to the icon of Saint Nicholas, can be described as an act of the joint ktetorship.

Glьbočica Place Glьbočica (now called Dubočica reka) is the right tributary of the river called Kriva reka. The river Glьbočica is 11 km long. Glьbočica is mentioned in the boundary description of the village Sušica, which is part of the chrysobull charter for the Hilandar Monastery issued by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (I selo Sušica, a megja jei Glьbočica kako pripada u rěku i vsěmi pravinami sela togo, s obršinami i planinōmь).
Golěm Ōdrьn Place Golěm Ōdrьn is mentioned together with the rivers of Moštanica and of Lukavica in the boundary description of Psača in the charter by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) for the Monastery of Hilandar from 1354/55 (Psačju sь vsěmi pravinami, a megja sela togo Moštanica kako pripada u rěku Lukavicu i do gde se izovrьša Moštanica i povrьhʼ planine nizʼ drumь kako spada posrěd golěmoga ōdrьna). The village of Odreno is registered as Gorna Odrina and Dolna Odrina in Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519 and from the years 1570 to 1572. The expression "golěm ōdrьn" is correctly translated by Siniša Mišić as "great rockfall" or "landslide". According to the charter, there was a local road, which went through the area. It is conceivable that the village of Odreno emerged in this area in Early Modern times. Its appearance in the Ottoman Defter and in Early Modern maps as well as the phonetical relation to the name of the topographical entity Golěm Ōdrьn can be perceived as proof for such a claim. The localisation and identification is based also on the context of the boundary description.
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.
Moštanica Place Moštanica is the left tributary of the river called Kriva reka. The river flows into the Kriva reka slightly above (east from) Psača. Moštanica is mentioned together with the river Lukavica and the topographical entity Golěm Ōdrьn in the boundary description of Psača, which is part of the chrysobull charter for the Hilandar Monastery issued by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (Psačju sь vsěmi pravinami, a megja sela togo Moštanica kako pripada u rěku Lukavicu i do gde se izovrьša Moštanica i povrьhʼ planine nizʼ drumь kako spada posrěd golěmoga ōdrьna).
Odreno, Local Road, drum Place In the border description of the village of Psača in a charter, which was issued by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355), a local road is mentioned (niz drumь kako spada posrěd golěmoga odrьna).
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).
Psača 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). In the border description of Psača the rivers Moštanica and Lukavica and the topographical entity Golěm Ōdrьn are mentioned (Psačju sь vsěmi pravinami, a megja sela togo Moštanica kako pripada u rěku Lukavicu i do gde se izovrьša Moštanica i povrьhʼ planine nizʼ drumь kako spada posrěd golěmoga ōdrьna). Psača is registered as Starče, Psarče and Ipsarča in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from the years 1570 to 1572.
Radibužda Gornja 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 Radibužda Gornja. He donated it to the Monastery of Hilandar together with hillocks and a summer pasture (selo Radibuždu Gornju sь ōbrьšinami i s planinōmь). The village of Radibužda Gornja is registered as Radibožde and Dolno Radibožde in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519 and from the years 1570 to 1572.
Sracin 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). In our opinion the mentioning of Sracin in the border description does not refer to the village of Stracin, which is attested in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519, 1530/31 and from the years 1570 to 1572, but to the mountain pass that formed the Western border of the region of Slavište.
Sušica (4) Place The village of Sušica is mentioned in a scribal note of a Slavonic manuscript written by a certain anagnostь Radinь from Nagoričino in Žegligovo between 1300 and 1318. Radinь copied the gospel book for the priest Zagoranin from Sušica (ispisah siju knigu popu Zagoraninu u Sušiči) and also mentions kaznac Dragoslav, who was in charge of the village of Sušica at that time (ōbladajuštu kaznьcu Sušiceju). In 1354/55 the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed the donation of the village of Sušica (selo Sušica) with a summer pasture (planina) to the Monastery of Hilandar, which had been given to the monastery by the Serbian nobleman Vlatko Paskačić. The river of Glьbočica is mentioned in the boundary description of the village of Sušica (I selo Sušica, a megja jei Glьbočica kako pripada u rěku i vsěmi pravinami sela togo, s obršinami i planinōmь).
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.
Trьnovac, Church of Sveta Petka Place A certain Nikodimь erected the Church of Sveta Petka above the village of Trьnovac. The church was donated by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) with its metochion and all rights to the Monastery of Hilandar. Thus, Stefan Dušan added the church to the endowment of the Serbian nobleman Vlatko Paskačić and his Church of Sveti Nikola in Psača (I crьkvь svetu Pet’ku jaže jestь nad Trnov’ci Nikodimovu, s metehōmь teje i sь vsěmi pravinami).
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). Stefan Dušan enlarged Vlatko's endowment with the village of Vetunica with all its rights (I Vetunicu sь vsěmi pravinami).
Zletovo Place The first written reference to Zletovo comes from the charter of the Byzantine Emperor Basileios II for the archiepiscopal see of Ōhrid from the year 1019. Zletovo (καὶ τὴν Σθλετοβὰν) is listed as part of the Bishopric of Morozvizd (Morobisdos). The Saint Gavrilo Lesnovski departed for the Lěsnovo Monastery (vь monastirь Lesnovskyj), from which he was released after a probationary period with the blessing of the abbot to enter a hermitage near the monastery and Zletovo (za nekoj skïtь blizь prjamo manastirь, vь dolь prjamo Zletovo). According to the Vita, the Saint Gavrilo Lesnovski also came to the aid of a local Bulgarian prince named Mihail in the fight against the Pechenegs and Cumans. Mihail had to flee from his opponents to Ratkovica (vo stranu Ratkovicu). He was able with the assistance of the saint to sidle up to the opposing general Mavragan near Rataica in Zletovo (u Slětovo) and to kill him (u Rataicě i ubi Mavragana). Zletovo was withdrawn from the sovereign authority of the Byzantine Empire in 1282/1283 during the reign of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (i Zletovu). Zletovo is mentioned in the charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Gračanica Monastery from 1315 (or 1321?) (i po Zletovoi). The scribe Stanislavь completed in 1330 a Slavic manuscript in the Monastery of Saint Michael the Archangel in the mountains of Lěsnovo, which was in the domain of Ovče Pole and the region of Zletovo (vь ōblasti ōvčepolьskoi vь horě zljętovstěi, v gorě lěsnovьstěi, v monastiri stgo arhistratiga Mihaila). The scribe Stanislavь finished his prologue of the manuscript in the time, when Dragoslavь ruled over the land of Zletovo as Župan (ōbdrьžjaštu horoję Zlętovьskoję županu Dra’goslavu). According to the Slavic founding inscription for the Lěsnovo monastery from 1340/41, the monastery received annualy 100 perpers from the revenue of the market in Zletovo (ōd zletovьskago trьga na godine sto perperь). The same inscription mentions the vineyards of the town of Zletovo (nadь gьrdsko lozie). However, Zletovo with its urban metochion was not included in the endowment for the Lěsnovo Monastery in 1340/41, 1346/47, or 1381. The scribe Stanislavь copied a Menaion at the request of Jovan Oliver destined for the Monastery of the Saint Michael the Archangel in Lěsnovo in 1342 in Zletovo according to the colophon of the manuscript written in Slavic language (vь horě Zletovcěi). In the founding charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV. Dušan for the Eparchy of Zletovo with its seat in the Monastery Lěsnovo from the year 1346/47 the erection of the monastery by the Serbian Espot Jovan Oliver is mentioned. Jovan Oliver built a church in honor of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel in the Zletovo region in Lěsnovo (sьzdati jemu hramь vь ime velikoslavnyhь i besplьtnyihь činonačelnikьь arhistratiga Mihaila i Gabrïila, vь straně že zletovьscěi rekomōje Lěsnovo; crьkvi Arhanggelu u Zletovoi; crьkvi Arhanggelu u Zletovoi). Zletovo appears in the boundary description of the hamlet/village Globica in the founding charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV. Dušan for the Eparchy of Zletovo with its seat in the Monastery Lěsnovo from the year 1346/47 (i što se kь Zletovoi kami vali tozi Zletovu budi a što se kь Globici vali tozi crьkvьno). In addition, the charter confirms the annual revenue of 100 perpers from the market in Zletovo for the Eparchy of Zletovo with its seat in the Monastery Lěsnovo (ōtь zletovьskago trьga). The Bishopric of Zletovo (episkopi zletovьskoi) owned also possessions in Pianitza according to the same charter. A note in the Slavic manuscript Lesnovski parenesis relates that it was written in Zletovo at the place called Lěsnovo in the Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael in 1353 (vь zemli zljatovsьskoi, vь městě rekoměmь Lěsnovo, vь ōbiteli svetago arhistratiga Mihaila), as Arsenije was the Bishop of Zletovo. In 1354/55 the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan 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 Uroš IV 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 Eparchy of Zletovo was probably abolished around 1370. After 1376/77, the Serbian Despot Jovan Dragaš (Ioannes Dragases) and his brother Konstantin Dragaš (Konstantinos Dragases) confirmed that the Monastery Hagios Panteleemon on the Holy Mount Athos possessed the churches of Saint Dimitrije and Saint Nikola in Zletovo (u Zletove stgo Dimitrïa, i svety Nikola). The Serbian local ruler Konstantin Dragaš confirmed on the 15th August 1381 that the Hilandar Monastery had the right to become the annual revenue of 100 perpers from the market in Zletovo aimed for the Lěsnovo Monastery (I ōd trьga zlětovьskoga da uzima Arhanggelь lěsnovьski na vsako gōdište r. Perьperь, jakože pišetь u hrisovuli carskomь). A forged charter from the 15th century, also known as the charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin concerning the settlement site Ulijare settlement from 1318, relates, among other things, about the conquest of Zletovo by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin between the years 1282 and 1284 (Zletovu). The Lěsnovo Monastery is registered in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1570 to 1572 as Arhangel. The Lěsnovo Monastery possessed in Zletovo five watermills. Zletovo appears also in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1570 to 1572 as as Izltva.
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.
