Kučьkověne Place King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan mentioned the settlement of Kučьkověne in his donation of the Church of Saint Demetrius (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). In the year 1343/44 King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the donation of a field near Kučkověne (Drouga niva po srědě Kučkověnь). The settlement of Kučkověne is mentioned a second time, when the King donated also a watermill and a vineyard (Sselište (!) Kučkověne sь nivijemь, sь voděnicijemь, sь vinogrady, sь vsěmi pravinami). In the year 1344/45 the King confirmed the donation of a half of a field near Kučkovьanь (Niva po srědě Kučkovьanь u Vincehь). Because of the absence of the settlement's type in the charter Vassiliki Kravari assumed a transformation from a settlement (selište) to a village (selo). But there is no clear evidence in the written sources for this assumption.

Treskavac 2 Source The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) issued a second Slavonic charter in 1343/44 for the Monastery of Treskavec to the North of Prilep. He confirmed current properties and donated further villages, settlements, abandoned lands, summer and winter pastures, watermills, metochia and churches in the region of Prilep to the monastery. Božidar Ferjančić argued that the second charter (Treskavac 2) for the Monastery of Treskavec is a forgery, while the first and third (Treskavac 1 and 3) are authentic. Djordje Bubalo advanced the opinion that the second charter (Treskavac 2) is an unofficial document based on the first and the third charter (Treskavac 1 and 3).
