Description

The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the settlement site of Deikovo to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selište Deikovo). The village of Deikovci, which is probably identical with the settlement site of Deikovo, was granted to the Monastery of Hilandar by the Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš in the year 1378/79 (Selo Deikovci). In the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519 and from the years 1570 to 1572 a certain village called Delovci is registered. According to the context of the latter it must have been situated in the area of Lojane, Zlokukjane and Vaksince. On account of the sources, it is possible to argue that Deikovo, Deikovci and the Ottoman Delovci were one and the same place.

Arhiljevica 1 Source The chrysobull charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed the foundation of the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God by Sebastokrator Dejan in the village of Arhiljevica and its landed property. The original charter has not come upon us, and its content is preserved only in two later transcripts. The older one (Hilandar 36) is probably an authentic transcript, but its dating is questionable, because it contradicts historical circumstances known from other reliable sources. Therefore, the date, when the lost orginal was issued, can only be approximated to the years 1354 or 1355. Hilandar 150/152 differs from its predecessor in the dispositional section, containing two previously unmentioned villages, which do not appear even in the charter by the Serbian Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš from 1378/79. It was made in the 15th century or later with the intent of obtaining or confirming the enlargement of Chilandar's Arhiljevica metochion.
Arhiljevica 2 Source This charter was issued in 1378/79 by the Serbian Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš, through which they donated the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica together with its possessions to the Hilandar Monastery on the Holy Mount Athos.
