The Byzantine Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos mentioned the village in ca. 1299/1300 when he donated a vineyard to the monastery of Saint Nikita (καὶ ἀμπέλια δύο διακείμενα εἴς τε τὸ Πομπόσδιν καὶ εἰς τὸν Λάκκον τοῦ Τουρίση). 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 a vineyard near the respective village is confirmed (i vinogra(da) dva, jedinь o(u) Poboždi a drugy u dolu Pureševě).
