Chonuche was most probably inhabited with interruptions from the 3rd century AD to the 14th century. It might be identified with Tranupara on the Tabula Peutingeriana. The only written medieval evidence regarding Chonuche comes from 1372. A transport of goods belonging to the Ragusan merchant Junije Bunić, who lived and worked in the city of Thessalonike, was at that time intercepted and looted by a certain Junije Sorkočević assisted by a nobleman in the service of the Dragaš family. This assault took place near the fortress of Chonuche (un logo che a nome lo chastelo Chonuche) on the road between Thessalonike and Novo Brdo in Kosovo (E pero siando partidi de Salunihi e çonti in lo teren del despoti Dragas in un logo che a nome lo chastelo Chonuche, la si vene Guno de Sorgo con 1 çintilomo de Dragas et si me tolsi queste chose sovrascrite con V chavali). A market (merchado) and an inn (albercho) in Chonuche are also mentioned.
