The Byzantine Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos (reigned 1295-1320) donated two summer pastures called Sōsthnai to the Monastery of Sveti Nikita in ca. 1299/1300 (ἑτέρας δύο πλανηνὰς καλουμένας Σώσθνας). The source-based context suggests that these summer pastures were located in the mountains to the East of the village of Λουμποτάνιον.

Probably identical with the village Taurision. The Byzantine Historian Prokopios of Caesarea relates that the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. was born in the village Taurision near the fortlet Bederiana in Dardania (Ἐν Δαρδάνοις που τοῖς Εὐρωπαίοις, οἳ δὴ μετὰ τοὺς Ἐπιδαμνίων ὅρους ᾤκηνται, τοῦ φρουρίου ἄγχιστα, ὅπερ Βεδερίανα ἐπικαλεῖται, χωρίον Ταυρίσιον ὄνομα ἦν, ἔνθεν Ἰουστινιανὸς βασιλεὺς ὁ τῆς οἰκουμένης οἰκιστὴς ὥρμηται). The Bulgarian Tsar Constantine I Asen donated the village of Tavorь together with a ruined fortress (apparently ruins of the fortified settlement near Taurision), meadows and hunting grounds to the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg near Skopje (Selo Tavorь, gradište i s polemь sь nivijemь, sь livadami, sь Ezeromь blatnimъ, sь zaběloï, sь lovišti zvěr’noïmi i roïbnimi, i sь vsěmi pravinami ih). The village of Tavorь is attested in the charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Monastery of St George-Gorg (niže Tavora) from 1300. The village of Tavorь is mentioned in the boundary description of the property, which belonged to the chapel (kellion) of Saint Petka and was given by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin to the Hilandar Monastery (i na putь kako grede u Tavorь). Tavorь is registered in the Ottoman Defters for the years 1452/1453, 1467/1468 (as Tavore or Tavre), 1544/1545 and 1568/1569.

Vlach Katun near Klьčevišta

In ca. 1299/1300 the Byzantine Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos (reigned 1295-1320) donated a Vlach katun (κατοῦναν βλαχικήν) near the village of Klustobista to the Monastery of Sveti Nikita. The topography and the context suggest that the katun has to be localised to the North of the contemporary villages of Banjane, Kučevište and Pobožje. In a charter of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (reigned 1282-1328), at the instigation of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321), in ca. 1299/1300 (or 1308?) for the Tower of Hrusija (Pyrgos Basileiu) of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos the donation of the respective katun is confirmed (i katunь Vlahь Svetago Nikite).

In ca. 1189/90 the Serbian Grand Župan Stefan Nemanja (reigned 1166/68-1196) incorporated Morava into his realm (Priloži že kĭ zemli otčĭstvïa svojego oblastĭ nyševĭskuju do konca, Lypljanĭ že i Moravu i glagoljemy Vrani, prizrěnĭsku že oblastĭ i Pologa oba do konca sĭ megami svoimi.). In ca. 1299/1300 the Byzantine Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos (reigned 1295-1320) donated the village of Mērana in (the župa of) Morava to the Monastery of Sveti Nikita (χωρίον διακείμενον εἰς τὴν Μοράβαν καὶ ἐπονομαζόμενον τὴν Μηράναν). In a charter of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (reigned 1282-1328), at the instigation of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321), in ca. 1299/1300 (or 1308?) for the Tower of Hrusija (Pyrgos Basileiu) of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos the donation of the village of Izmira in Morava is confirmed (I selo u Moravě narekomoje Izmira). In the first quarter of the 14th century Morava was part of the Bishopric of Lipljan (po Moravě). The forged transcript A of the collective charter of the Serbian King Milutin for the Monastery of Chilandar from the years 1303-1304 (or after 1331) reports that the village of S'mira in Morava was granted to the Monastery of Sveti Nikita near Skopje and afterwards to the Tower of Hrusija (Pyrgos Basileiu) in the vicinity of the Monastery of Chilandar by the Serbian King (i u Moravě selo S'mira ... To vʼse utʼvrьdivь i zapisavь dahь Svetomu Nikitě, a Svetago Nikitu dahь mojemu pirʼgu sь vʼsěmь jego utʼvrьždenijemь). In 1342 the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) issued a charter in favour of the starec Ioanĭ in Morava donating to him the Monastery of Sveti Nikola Mrački for lifelong subsistence (u Moravě). According to Siniša Mišić the medieval Serbian župa of Morava is to be localised along the river Binačka Morava.
