| Abrampakes Michael | Person | Mentioned in the sources from April 1346 to May 1355. He appears as οἰκεῖος and δοῦλος of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan in the documents. He was a kephale (governor) of Serres in 1346. His mother was probably Eugenia Abrampakina Tatadena. Michael Abrampakes allowed Georgios Batatses Phokopulos to build a watermill. He issued a charter on this occasion. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the permission granted to Georgios Batatses Phokopulos by Michael Abrampakes in the prostagma charter from April 1346 (Ἐπεὶ ὁ οἰκεῖος τῆ βασιλεία μου κὺρ Γεώργιος ὁ Φωκόπουλος ἐδικαιώθε διὰ γράμματος τοῦ οἰκείου αὐτῆ κεφαλῆς τῆς θεοσώστου πόλεως Σερρῶν κὺρ Μιχαὴλ τοῦ Ἀβραμπάκη καὶ λοιπῶν ἀρχόντων τῆς βασιλείας μου καὶ τῶν ἐντιμοτάτων ἐκκλησιαστικῶν ἀρχόντων, ὥςτε ποιῆσαι σύνεγγυς τοῦ μύλωνος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕτερον ὑδρομύλωνα). His former estate is evidently attested in the land inventory the Monastery of Saint John Prodromos near Serres. The monastery bought his possession (ἕτερον ἐξ ἀγορασίας ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἀβραμπάκη). He signed in May 1355 the contract of his mother, who sold a large shop to the Monastery of Saint John Prodromos near Serres. | |||
| Phokopulos, Georgios Batatses | Person | Mentioned in the sources from April 1346 to May 1352. He appears as κῦρ and οἰκεῖος of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan in the sources. He was married to Anna Angelina. He was in dispute with the children of the deceased Alexios Diplobatatzes. The family of Diplobatzes was against his endeavour to build a new watermill. He obtained the permission to build another watermill from Michael Abrampakes, the Governor of Serres. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the right of Georgios Batatses Phokopulos to build a second watermill on his property in a prostagma charter from April 1346. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan granted the endowment of Georgios Batatses Phokopulos to the Batopedi Monastery in April 1348. It consisted of vineyards, fields, mills near the side gate at Serres, some houses in Serres and a 500 Modioi large estate at Tholos (ὁμοίως περὶ τὰς Σέρρας οσα ἀφιέρωσεν ὁ Φωκόπουλος γονικὰ αὐτοῦ, ἀμπέλια καὶ χωράφια καὶ μύλωνας τοὺς πλησίον τοῦ παραπορτίου καὶ τὰ ἐντὸς τοῦ κάστρου ὀσπήτια αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῆς νομῆς καὶ περιοχῆς αὐτῶν, καὶ γῆν περὶ τὸν Θολὸν γονικὴν αὐτοῦ μοδίων πεντακοσίων). The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan permitted in May 1352 Georgios Batatses Phokopulos to donate his zeugelateion at Lestiane and Tumba to the Monastery of Saint John Prodromos near Serres. |
