| Italia | Place | According to the Austrian consul Johann Georg von Hahn (1811-1869) the region between the rivers Mat and Drin was called "Italia" by the indigenous population. Hahn writes on this issue as follows: "Was den Landschaftsnamen betrifft, so braucht der Leser keinen Schreib- oder Druckfehler zu vermuthen, denn die Küstenebene zwischen dem Mat und Drin heisst bei den Eingeborenen Italia, und wenn ich der zahlreichen geographischen Parallelen an den beiden sich gegen überliegenden Ufern des Adria gedenke, von welchen ein Theil in den albanesischen Studien zusammengestellt ist, so halte ich es für wahrscheinlicher, dass dieser Name der Urzeit angehöre, als dass er in späterer Zeit von Italien entlehnt worden sei." | ||
| Strugai | Place | The place is mentioned in Anna Komnena as a refuge, where the Byzantine emperor Alexios I. Komnenos sought protection on his journey to Ohrid (καὶ οὕτως ἀμετρήτους καὶ μεγίστους διεκφυγὼν κινδύνους αὖθις σῴζεται διὰ τῶν Στρουγῶν διελθὼν εἰς Ἀχρίδας). Appears in the addition to the narrative about the confirmation of the Bulgarian archbishoprics autocephaly by the Byzantine Emperor Basileios II. in several manuscripts of the Chronicle of John Skylitzes from the 12th century and later (πρὸς δὲ τὸ τέρμα τῆς λίμνης τὰς ἐγχωρίως λεγομένας Στρούγας εὑρηκὼς καὶ ταύταις ἑνωθεὶς μέγιστός τε γίνεται ποταμῶν). According to the inscription probably from 1266/1267 on the icon of the saint George, a certain John the deacon, who held also the position of referendarios, donated the restored icon by the painter John to the Church of saint George in Struga near Ohrid (δῶρον τοῦ σοῦ οἰκέτου εὐτελοῦς Ἰωάννου τοῦ διακόνου ῥαιφερενδαρίου τε ἀξίαν ἔχων· γράψαντι σεπτῶς τὴν σὴν μορφὴν ἀγίαν ἐν χροματουργήμασι ποικιλοτρόποις ταύτην ἀνιστῶν ἐν Στρούγαις τῆς Άχρίδος. Ἰωάννης ἐκ πόθου τὴν δέησιν ποιεῖται. Ἐν ἔτει ͵ςψοεʹ ἰνδικτιῶνος θʹ ἀνιστορήθη δὲ διὰ χειρὸς Ἰωάννου ἱστοριογράφου).The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the donation of the villages Struga Vraniška and Struga Mala, the upper and lower courtyard in Struga and the church of saint Nikola near the lake with all rights and seven fishers to the Church of the Holy Mother of God Peribleptos in Ohrid (Struga Braniška i Struga Mala i vь, i vь gradě gōrni dvorь i dolni dvorь, i na jezerě crьkva sveti Nikola sь vsěmi pravinami, i sedьmь ribarь). The town of Struga is registered in the Defter for the Nahija Ohrid between the years 1536-1539 and under the year 1583. |

| Reise durch die Gebiete von Drin und Wardar | Source | He noted that there are many in the village of Nokje, which is the largest in the area, and that it is characteristic that the villagers crossed into Islam. The traveler could not find out when the Vlachs went to Islam and believed that Islam had received it to protect themselves from violence when the Yuruks settled in these areas. The Mohammedan Vlachs live in the Nokje village, and their language was different from other Vlachs in Macedonia. They were border guards and were scattered across Macedonian borders |
