| Nestongos Dukas | Person | Mentioned in the sources between 1352 and 1360. He was designated as κὺρ. He appears as οἰκεῖος of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan in the confirmation charter for the Monastery of Saint Anastasia near Zichna. The sources refer to him also as δοῦλος of the Serbian Empress Jelena (Helene). He held the office of Logothetes, since 1352; then of Governor of Serres (Nestegus capitaneus Seren.; Nestegus Zephalia Seren.), 1354 and finally of Megas Papias, 1360. His wife was Eudokia Nestongissa. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed in the year 1352 that the village Ostrina belonged to the Monastery of Saint Anastasia near Zichna. He ordered Georgios Dukas Nestongos (οἰκεῖος ὁ αὐτῆ κὺρ Γεώργιος ὁ λογοθέτης) to look after the inviolability of the rights of the monastery. He (Ὀ λογοθέτης Γεώργιος Δούκας ὁ Νεστόγγος) together with his wife (Σίγνον Ευδοκίας Παλαιολογίνης τῆς Νεστογγόνισας) possessed an orchard near Serres, which was partly a dowry and partly acquired by the couple. They donated it in 1353 to Monastery of Saint John Prodromos near Serres, which owned mills in the vicinity of the orchard, for exchange of life annuity payed to them by the monastery. He together with judge Božidar and Damjan from Kotor was sent by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan in 1354 to the papal court in Avignon. He participated in the decision of the ecclesiastical court, which was summoned by Iakobos, the Metropolitan of Serres, concerning the metochion Saint Nicholas in Kamenikaia. He signed also the document issued by Iakobos in November 1360 (ὁ δοῦλος τῆς κραταιᾶς καὶ ἁγίας ἡμῶν κυρίας καὶ δεσποίνης Δούκας ὁ Νεστόγγος ὁ μέγας παπίας). | |||
| Orestes | Person | The last mention of his name in the sources is from 1366. He appears in the charters as κῦρ or δοῦλος of the Serbian Empress Jelena (Helene) and of the Serbian Despot Ioan Uglješa (Ioannes Unklesis). He repeatedly judged in a court as καθολικὸς κριτής between 1365 – 1366 in Serres. He held the office of ἐπὶ τοῦ στρατοῦ in Serres (1365 – 1366) and ἐπὶ τοῦ κάστρου in Serres (eventually from 1350 to 1366). He erected the tower at Serres in 1350 at the behest of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (Πύργος Στεφάνου βασιλέως ὅν ἔκτισεν Ὁρέστης Αὐγούστου Δʹ Ινδικτιωνος Γ ΩΝΗ). He participated in the decision over a plot of land in the village Zetinon (Zintzu) and a Church of Saint George (τῶν εὐγενεστάτων καὶ καθολικῶν κριτῶν, τοῦ τε κῦρ Ὀρέστου τοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ στρατοῦ). He corroborated the document issued by Sabas, the Metropolitan of Serres, by his own signature in August 1365 (ὁ δοῦλος τῆς κραταιᾶς καὶ ἁγίας ἠμῶν κυρίας καὶ δεσποίνης καθολικὸς κριτής, Ὀρέστης † Ὁ ἘΠΙ ΤΟΥ ΣΤΡΑΤΟΥ). He attended the trial between Hilandar Monastery and Georgios Isaris (τοὺς καθολικοὺς κριτάς, τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ κάστρου κῦριν Ὀρέστην). He together with other members of the court ruled in favor of the Hilandar Monastery and signed the charter issued on this occasion (ὁ δοῦλος τοῦ ἁγίου μου αὐθέντου τοῦ πανευτυχεστάτου δεσπότου καθολικὸς κριτής, Ὀρέστης † ὁ ἐπὶ τοῦ στρατοῦ). |
