| Euphemia | Person | Died after 1404/1405. She appears as καισαρίσις Σερβίας, βασιλείσης Σερβίας and despotica kyra Eupraxia in the sources. She became a nun after the death of her husband Ioannes Unklesis (26. 9. 1371). She wrote poems. Her father was kaisar Boichnas (Vojihna). She was married to Ioannes Unklesis. Her son was Uglješa. Euphemia composed a lament over the premature death of her son. Between 1368 and 1371 was the lament over Uglješa (Despotović) inscribed under the patronage of Euphemia on the silver revetment, which connected the two icons of Uglješa (Despotović) and made a diptych. Euphemia donated the diptych icon to the Hilandar Monastery for the salvation of the soul of her son. It is suggested that she commisioned in 1371 the double sided icon with the Virgin Kataphyge and the Vision of Ezechiel, the so-called Poganovo icon. After the death of her husband she lived at the court of the Serbian Prince Lazaros (Lazar). When Milica became widow after the Kosovo battle in 1389 both took monastic wows. Euphemia and Milica were initially at Županja Monastery near Kruševac. They lived later at Ljubostinja Monastery. Euphemia accompanied the princess Milica on her diplomatic mission to Bayezid I., who was at Serres. Her epitaphios is preserved in the collection of the Putna Monastery (Μνήσθητοι, κ(ύρι)ε, τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν δούλων σου καισαρίσις Σερβίας ’Εφημίας μοναχῆς σὺν θυγατρὶ βασιλείσης Σερβίας Εὐπραξίας μοναχῆς). She wrote a prayer for Lord Jesus Christ influenced by the work of Saint Symeon the New Theologian. She mentioned also her father kaisar Boichnas (Voihna), who was buried at Hilandar, in the prayer. Her prayer was embroidered on a curtain (katapetasma) made of silk and gold for the altar door. It was decorated with the figure of Christ as a priest flanked by Saint John Chrysostom, Saint Basil and two archangels. Euphemia donated the curtain in 1398/1399 to the Hilandar Monastery. In 1402 Euphemia composed a laud for the Prince Lazaros (Lazar). Her text was embroidered on the shroud for the head of Prince Lazaros (Lazar). The Relic is preserved in the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Belgrade. The Serbian Despot Stefan Lazarević granted the village Jabučje to Euphemia (Eupraxia). She bequeathed the village Jabučje to the Hilandar Monastery and the Despot Stefan Lazarević confirmed her endowment in the charter from 1404/1405. | |||
| Ioannes (8) | Person | Mentioned in several charters of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan. He appears as kir in the chrysobull charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan from 1346/1347 concerning the founding of the Zletovo episcopate. He was the Bishop of Skopje before 1346 and Metropolitan (Archbishop) of Skopje between 1346–1350. He attented the sabor in Skopje on 16th April 1346, where he witnessed the coronation of Stefan Uroš IV Dušan as Emperor of the Greeks and the Serbs by the Serbian Patriarch. He is mentioned in the chrysobull charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan from 1346/1347 concerning the founding of the Zletovo episcopate. According to the chrysobull charter the Serbian Emperor asked several high-ranking clerics, among them also Ioannes (Jovanь), for permission to found the Bishopric of Zletovo (i sь arhïepiskopomь skopskymь rek’še mitropolitomь kirь Ïōanomь). He is attested in the charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery Xeropotamu from April/May 1346 (διὰ τοῦ πρωτοθρόνου Σκοπίων μητροπολίτου ὑπερτίμου Ἰωάννου), the charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery Esphigmenu from April/May 1346 (διὰ τοῦ πρωτοθρόνου Σκοπείων μητροπολίτου καὶ ὑπερτίμου Ἰωάννου), charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery Batopedi from May 1346 (διὰ τοῦ πρωτοθρόνου Σκοπίων μητροπολίτου καὶ ὑπερτίμου Ἰωάννου). He donated the epitaphion worn during the Holy Liturgy of the Great Entrance to the Hilandar Monastery (ΜΝΗΣΘΙΤΗ ΚΕ ΤΗΝ ΨΥΗΗΝ ΤΟΥ ΔΟΥΛΟΥ ΣΟΥ ΙΩ ΑΡΗΙΕΠΙΣΚΟΠΟΥ ΣΚΟΠΙΩΝ). | |||
| Iōanь (2) | Person | Deceased probably before 1349. He was the Bishop of Zletovo, 1347–1349. He is portrayed on the southern wall of the narthex of the Monastery of Saint Archangel Michael and Holy Father Gabriel in Lěsnovo with the accompaying inscription, which identifies him (vseōsveštenni episkupь zletovьski iōanь). According to Gabelić Iōanь perhaps donated the epitaphion with the scene Lamentation over the dead Christ to the Hilandar Monastery (gospodi bože našь prijemi dary abelovy i nojevy i jaronovy i zahariny i samoilovy i vsěhь svetihь tvoihь tako i otь ruku mene grěšnago iōanь primi se prinoštenije vь čьstь i slavu i vonju blagouhanьnu arhistratiga ... i ōca našego gavrila pustinožitelě. ruka grěšnago siropula).
