Sracin

Description

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.
