Koreses Dukas Person Active in the vicinity of Serres between 1341 and 1375. He was οἰκεῖος and δοῦλος of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, 1355. He was in the commision, which was entrusted by Iakobos, the Metropolitan of Serres, to delimit the metochion of the Philotheu Monastery in Kremna and Tzainu (ὁ οἰκεῖος τῶ κραταιῶ καὶ ἁγίῳ ᾑμων αὐθέντη καὶ βασιλεῖ Δοῦκας ὁ Κορέσης εἰδέναι ἀκριβὼς τὰ σύνορα καὶ προνόμια τῆς ἁπάσης αὐτῶν γῆς). He signed the document, which was issued by Iakobos in December 1355 (Ὁ δοῦλος τοῦ κραταιοῦ καὶ ἁγίου ἡμῶν αὐθέντου καὶ βασιλέως Δούκας ὁ Κορέσης). He appears in another document of Iakobos, the Metropolitan of Serres, for the Hilandar Monastery from November 1360. Several local nobleman, among them also Duka Koreses, who lived in the vicinity of the metochion Saint Nicholas in Kamenikaia, took in possesion some of its estates. Iakobos returned the unjustly annexed lands to the Hilandar Monastery (καὶ πρῶτον μὲν εὕρομεν ὅτι ἀπὸ τούτων ὑφείλετο ὁ Δούκας ὁ Κορέσης καὶ κατεῖχε, προβαλλόμενος ἐξ ἀγορᾶς τοῦτο κεκτῆσθαι). Dukas Koreses was more than thirty years in dispute with the Alopu Monastery on Mount Athos over a land in Klopotitza. The judicial panel summoned by Theodoros, the Metropolitan of Serres, confirmed in August 1375 the claim of the convent of Alopu on Mount Athos on the land Klopotitza. The decision was realised only after the end of the Serbian rule, since Duka Koreses was courtier and supporter of the Serbian rulers.
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).
