Banjane	Place			The Byzantine Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos donated the village of Banjane to the Monastery of Saint Nikita (χωρίον προνοιαστικὸν καλούμενον Μπάνιανιν) in ca. 1299/1300. In a charter of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos - at the instigation of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin - in ca. 1299/1300 (or 1308?) for the Tower of Hrusija of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos the donation of the respective village is confirmed (I druga metohija i sela i zemlje iže su nareč(e)na imenemь sice: selo Banjane, pronija sь vsěmi pravinami jego). The Serbian King Stefan Uroš Milutin donated the Church (Monastery) of Saint Nikita near Banjane with villages, people and with Vlachs to the Tower of Hrusija of the Monastery of Hilandar on the Holy Mount Athos (Togo radi da kraljev᾿stvo mi monastyirju vь Skopьskoi ōblasti crьkovь Svetago Nikity u Banjahь s᾿sely s ljudmi i s Vlahy). The forged transcript A of the collective charter of Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Monastery of Hilandar reports that the village of Banjane was granted to the Monastery of Saint Nikita near Skopje and afterwards to Tower of Hrusija in the vicinity of the Hilandar monastery by the Serbian King (I dahь selo Banjane i sь vsěmi měnami,... To vʼse utʼvrьdivь i zapisavь dahь Svetomu Nikitě, a Svetago Nikitu dahь mojemu pirʼgu sь vʼsěmь jego utʼvrьždenijemь). The village of Banjane is mentioned several times in the boundary description of the village Klьčevišta preserved in the chrysobull charter for the Monastery of the Holy Archangels in Prizren (A megja Klьčevištemь: do visa us poljanu, megju Pьsi Dolь i megju hlьmь tere pravo na kolovozь, i koi putь ide ōt Banjanь pravo mimo selo Slivovikь, kako izlazi kolnikь na kamenikь na brьdo, i ōt tudu pravo u planinu putemь obь druge strane do crkvišta pri Kalopetrově lozě, a gorě uz dělь u planinu; a ōt Skopija megja, po srědě Dobrogo Dola, u putь u prěky koi grede ōt Čahra, i do mramora putemь koi grede uz Golihovo pravo u Banjane, ōt toga puti pravo u visь, koi ide megju Banjane i megju Klьčesvišta).

Skopje Sveti Nikita 2	Source	In ca. 1299/1300 (or 1308?) the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (reigned 1282-1328) confirmed, at the instigation of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321), the possessions of the Monastery of Sveti Nikita near Skopje for the Tower of Hrusija (Pyrgos Basileiu) of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos. This charter is only preserved in a Serbian translation. It seems plausible that Andronikos II had also issued a Greek charter in the years 1299/1300, because a parallel Byzantine charter on this topic is preserved by his Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos (reigned 1295-1320), which was issued most probably in the years 1299/1300 and in which most of the mentioned places had also been donated.
