Ioannikios (1) Person Mentioned in the painted ktitorial inscription running on the cornice of the northern and southern walls of the central aisle and in another painted ktitorial inscription on the western wall of the northern aisle of the Church of Saint Nicholas in Manastir in the region of Mariovo. He appears as κυρὸς in the inscription on the cornice of the northern and souther walls of the central aisle of the Church of Saint Nicholas in Manastir. He was a priestmonk and hegoumenos of the monastery. He was responsible for the renovation of the Monastery and the Katholikon of Saint Nicholas in Manastir in 1265. He commisioned the painted decoration of the church, which was accomplished by John, a deacon and refendarios, in 1270/1271 (Ὁ ναὸς γὰρ ἦν σμικρώτατος, σαθρὸς, ῥακοθεὶς δὲ καὶ διατετρωμένος ἀρραγῆς καὶ μὶ φέρων ὁρᾶν τὴν τοῦ ναοῦ σβέσιν ὁ πανοσιώτατος καθηγούμενος τῆς μονῆς ὁ κυρὸς Ἰωαννίκιος, ὁ καὶ διὰ τοῦ ἁγίου σχίματος ἐπωνομασθεὶς Ἀκάκιος καὶ χωρέσας ὑπὲρ χρημάτων ἀναχωρεῖ τοῦτον θεῖαν εὐσεβῆς ἐπιχωρῖν καὶ ἐν ὑπηρεσία ἄγειν ὁ καὶ προκαλέσας τοὺς ἐν Χριστῶ ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ...ἅμα καὶ εὐθὺς χαλάσας τὴν ἐκκλησίαν ἀνήγυρεν ἐκ βάθρων τὸν πάνσεπτον ναὸν τοῦτον καὶ οραΐσας καὶ καλεῖ ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸν ἐν χρωματουργίμασιν πικυλοτρόποις καὶ ἐν βαθεῖ γνόμονας χεῖρας ταπινότατος Ἰωάννης διάκονος καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κρίσεων τῆς ἁγιωτάτης ἀρχιεπισκοπῆς, καὶ...ἐν ἔτει ἐξακισχιλιστὸ καὶ ἑπτακοσιοστό τε ο δ, ἰνδικτιῶνος θ, ἀνιστορίθι δὲ ἐν ἕτι ς ψ ο θ, ἰνδικτιῶνος ιδ, ἐπὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ εὐσεβεστάτου μεγάλου βασλέως καὶ αὐτοκράτωρος Ῥωμαίων Δοῦκα Ἀγγέλου Κομνηνοῦ Μιχαήλ τοῦ Παλαιολόγου καὶ Νέου Κωνσταντίνου). He is portrayed with the model of the church on the western wall of the northern aisle of the Church of Saint Nicholas in Manastir. The ktitorial painted composition is accompanied by the inscription, which stresses the role of Ioannikios/Akakios as the second ktetor of the church (δέησις τοῦ δούλου τοῦ θεοῦ Ἀκακίου ἱερομονάχου καὶ καθηγουμένου ...ορεντος. καὶ δευτέρου κτήτωρος).

He and his wife commisioned the construction and the fresco decoration of the Church of Saint Nicholas in Varoš near Prilep during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (ἀνιγέρθει· ἐκ βάθρου· καὶ ἀνιστωρήθει ὁ θῆος καὶ πάνσεπτος ναὸς τοῦ ἐν ἁγίοις πατρὸς ἡμῶν ἀρχηεράρχων καὶ θαυματουργοῦ Νικολάου δηὰ συνδρωμῆς καὶ κόπου Βέγου τοῦ Καπζᾶ καὶ τῆς συμβήου αὐτοῦ Μαρίας· ἐπὶ τῆς βασιλείας Ἀνδρωνίκου τοῦ εὐσεβεστάτου βασιλέος καὶ αὐτωκράτωρος Ῥωμέων Κομνινοῦ τοῦ Παλαεωλόγου καὶ Ἠρήνης τῆς εὐσεβεστάτης αὐγούστης· ἐπῒ ἔτους ςωζ μηνὴ νωεύρηο ιζ ἰνδικτιῶνος ιβ το τουτῶ...θνυτοῦ καὶ ἑτέρῶν τῶν κτήτωρων).
Maria (2) Person Mentioned in the ktitorial inscription in the Church of Saint Nicholas in Varoš near Prilep from 1298. She had a husband, whose name was Begos Kapzas. She and her husband commisioned the construction and the fresco decoration of the Church of Saint Nicholas in Varoš near Prilep during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (ἀνιγέρθει· ἐκ βάθρου· καὶ ἀνιστωρήθει ὁ θῆος καὶ πάνσεπτος ναὸς τοῦ ἐν ἁγίοις πατρὸς ἡμῶν ἀρχηεράρχων καὶ θαυματουργοῦ Νικολάου δηὰ συνδρωμῆς καὶ κόπου Βέγου τοῦ Καπζᾶ καὶ τῆς συμβήου αὐτοῦ Μαρίας· ἐπὶ τῆς βασιλείας Ἀνδρωνίκου τοῦ εὐσεβεστάτου βασιλέος καὶ αὐτωκράτωρος Ῥωμέων Κομνινοῦ τοῦ Παλαεωλόγου καὶ Ἠρήνης τῆς εὐσεβεστάτης αὐγούστης· ἐπῒ ἔτους ςωζ μηνὴ νωεύρηο ιζ ἰνδικτιῶνος ιβ το τουτῶ...θνυτοῦ καὶ ἑτέρῶν τῶν κτήτωρων).
Misinopolit, children Group King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed and donated in the first charter issued for the Monastery of Treskavec the Metochion (and Church) of St. Demetrius in the lower town of Prilep, which was given to the monastery by the children of Misinopolites, with its fields, vineyards and watermills as well as with its fair to the same monastery (Metohь Svetii Dimitrїe u Prilěpě, što priložihu Misinopolitova dětьca, sь nivijemь i sь vinogradi i sь voděnicami i sь Kučьkověne selištemь i sь panagiromь i sь vьseju pravinoju togo). This means that the children of Misinopolites inherited the Metochion of St. Demetrius with its possessions and the settlement site or abandoned village (selište) of Kučьkověne from their father and donated it most probably to the Monastery of Treskavac after the Serbian conquest of Prilep. In the year 1343/44 King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the donation of the Metochion of St. Demetrius in the town of Prilep with the fair, vineyards and the watermill to the Monastery of Treskavac (Vь gradě motohь Svetyi Dimitrie Misinopolitivь panagirь zadušnica Misinopolitovihь dětei sь nivijemь, sь vinogrady, sь voděnicijemь, sь vsěmi pravinami and Selište Kučkověne sь nivijemь, sь voděnicijemь, sь vinogrady, sь vsěmi pravinami).The second charter points to the fact that the annual fair, which was held in eternal memory of Misinopolites on behalf of his children (panagirь zadušnica Misinopolitovihь dětei) near to the Metochion of St. Demetrius in Varoš, bore the name of Misinopolites.
