He was probably the student of Georgios Akindynos. He also corresponded with him. He was a supporter of the anti-Palamite party. When he turned his coat, he was criticized by Georgios Akindynos as a traitor. He was among the witnesses to the charter of protovestiarites Ioannes Dukas from September 1344, who rejected the claim of the revenue office on the part of the place Diabolokampos, a property of the Docheiariu Monastery. He joined in summer 1345 the proponents of the Byzantine Emperor Ioannes VI Kantakuzenos. He was nearly killed during the revolt of the Zealots. He met Gregorios Palamas on Moun Athos between September 1347 and September 1348. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan donated in April 1348 the dependant peasants in the area of Hermelia, which belonged to Georgios Isaris. The Byzantine Emperor Ioannes V. Palaiologos gave in December 1350 several landed estates to Demetrios Kokalas in addition to his oikonomia. He mandated Georgios Isaris with Manuel Chageres to execute the task. He had a 11 years lasting quarrel with the Hilandar Monastery. He required the sum, which Georgios Stanisas, his son-in-law, paid in order to obtain adelphata. When Stanisas died, Isaris tried to get the money of his son-in-law back. He did not even hesitate to forge documents related to the affair. He was a friend of Makarios Chumnos and probably sponsored his foundation of Nea Moni in Thessalonica.
Kale (2)	Person	κυράKiraDominaGospogja	Mentioned in the dedicatory inscription found on the western wall of the Virgin Maryʼs Church in Mali Grad from 1368–1369.

The family portrait of Nobakos has been preserved on the western external façade. She and her husband are painted to the right of the virgin. She is portrayed as a young woman.
Kalinikь (1)	Person	κῦρ/Kirь	Before summer 1343, maybe even later. He is denoted in the source as kyr. He lived in Modriče. According to the so-called Nomic charter, preserved in the Vrěviō, he was among the local noblemen (vlastele) and people (hora) gathered at the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo on 4th november of an unspecified year church (Měseca nojembra 4 dьnь sьbraše se vlastele i hora kь materi božijei u Htetovu, sevastь Pasarelь, kyrь Kalinykь, Makarije, Kalojanь, Parʼdo i bratʼ mu Theōdorь i Theodorь ōdь Lěskovljanь i Geōrgi Sulima, i kyrь Aleksa, brat Vlaho jepiskopovь, i ini proči boljare i hora). He and Geōrgi, the Bishop of Prizren, asked the gathered people, to swear to tell the truth concerning the disputed land located on the hill called Pleš (I zakle jepiskopь i kyrь Kalinikь: kto znaje što pravo ta ne hke rešte, da jestь prokletь). He acted also as a witness after the decision was made, that the property on the hill Pleš belongs to the church (A se tomu svědoci koi se prilučiše na Plěši: kyr Kalinikь ōd Modriče, i sevastь kyrь Manoilo, i zetь mu sevastь Runʼzer, i sevastь Sevladь, svojačimь mu, i kyr Andronikь, Braata, i ini proči).
Kalinïkь	Person	igumenŭ/Игоуменъ	Mentioned in the third charter (1343/1345) of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery of Treskavec. He was probably the Hegumen of Treskavec Monastery (igumnь Kalinïkь). He bought an estate, which had its boundaries from the oak under Dupijačanje till Gorkь and Maly Mramorane (Kupenica što kupi igumnь Kalinïkь: hrastь podь Dupьjačani, načьnь ōtь puti podь Radimanovu voděnicu, putemь podь Gorkь do kïr Vasileve megje, i ōtьtudě slazešte na putь dušьnički koi grede u Mramorane, putemь uz brьdo Gligorovcemь do voděnice Radimanove, gde i počelo).
Kantakuzenos Ioannes	Person	Nobleman	Mentioned in the donation deed of Pinkernissa Anna Tornikina for the Pantokrator Monastery on the Holy Mount Athos from August 1358. He was the son of the Pinkernes Demetrios Tornikes and Anna Tornikina. His brother was Andronikos. He had two sisters (Maria and Eirene) (Ἄννα πϊγκέρνισσα ἡ Τορνικίνα ἡ ἄνωθεν πρωτοτύπως προτάξασα οἰκειοχείρως σϋναινέσει καὶ ὅλη γνώμη καὶ τοῦ αὐθέντου μου τοῦ σϋζύγου μου καὶ τῶν φιλτάτων ἡμῶν παίδων Ἰωάννου Ἀνδρονίκου Μαρίας καὶ Εἰρήνης). His mother Anna Tornikina owned a domain at Beltzista in the region of Zabaltia. She became the domain as a dowry from her father. This property was in 1358 in the hands of the Serbs. She promised a half of her possession to the Pantokrator Monastery in August 1358, because their founders, Megas Stratopedarches Alexios and Megas Primikerios Ioannes, were succesfull in reconquering the land from the Serbs in the area between Christupolis and the mouth of the Strymon. Anna Tornikina expected that they could also recover her domain. Ioannes Kantakuzenos and his siblings gave Anna Tornikina the permission to donate a half of the property to the founders of the Pantokrator Monastery (Σίγνον Ιωάννου Καντακουζηνοῦ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῶν).
Kappatos Theodoros	Person	κῦρ/Kirь	Mentioned in the deed of sale from 1344. He is referred to as κύρος in the charter. He appeared as a witness in the case of the sale transaction between Demetrios Dukas Sulumpertes and the Monastery of the Holy Mother of God Pantanassa in Melnik (τοῦ Κάππατου κυροῦ Θεόδώρου).
Kapzas Begos	Person	κτήτωρ/Κτίτωρ/Ktitorь	Mentioned in the ktitorial inscription in the Church of Saint Nicholas in Varoš near Prilep from 1298. He had a wife, whose name was Maria.

Karabides Georgios	Person	Nobleman	According to the Vita of Saint Nicodemus written by the Patriarch of Constantinople Philotheos Kokkinos he was a Serb. But his name does not sound like a Serbian anthroponym in any way. Either Karabides himself derived the Greek variant from the word καραβίς, which means ship, and adopted it as his name, or Kokkinos simply translated his original Serbian epithet, which actually expressed his professional activity, into Greek in order to make it more accessible to the public. Mentioned in the charter from 28 June 1336, which has been preserved in the archives of the town Dubrovnik and in the Life of Saint Nicodemus written by the Patriarch of Constantinople Philotheos Kokkinos. His son-in-law was Ioannes Liberos (Oliuer Gherchinich, baro domini Regis Raxie et gener Charauide). He came to Thessalonike from Dalmatia according to the Vita of Saint Nicodemus. Philotheos Kokkinos designates him as a deserter. He was afflicted by a terrible paralysis. He spent almos all of his fortune on doctors. Finally he was healed at the shrine of the Saint Nicodemus sometimes after 1307 (Γεώργιός τις τὸ γένος Τριβαλλός, τὴν ἐπωνυμίαν Καραβίδης, ἐκ Δαλματίας ὁρμώμενος, ἧκέ ποτε Ῥωμαίοις αὐτόμολος· οὗτος εἶχε τὰς διατριβὰς κατὰ Θεσσαλονίκην. Καί ποτε τούτῳ πάρεσις δεινὴ μάλα ἐπισκήπτει, ἣν ἄρα καὶ φύσις καὶ τέχνη ἰατρικὴ ἀπειρήκει, τὸ χαλεπὸν ταύτης, ὥσπερ οἶμαι, μυσαττομένη. Πολλὰ τοιγαροῦν καμὼν καὶ ἰατροῖς δήπου τὸν ἅπαντα βίον σχεδὸν ἀναλωκὼς οὐδὲν ἐκεῖθεν ἀπώνατο ἢ τὸ καταγνῶναι πάντως ἐκείνων. Ὀψὲ δὲ καὶ μόλις ἑαυτὸν ἀνενέγκας, ἔγνω δεῖν καὶ πρὸς τὸ τοῦ ἁγίου τοῦδε τέμενος καταφυγεῖν. Καὶ δὴ θᾶττον ἐκεῖσε γεγονὼς πολλὰ τὸν ἅγιον ἱκετεύει, ναὶ μὴν καὶ δάκρυσι, τὸ ἀνυσιμώτατον εἰς πειθὼ φάρμακον, κατὰ τῆς ἱερᾶς τοῦ ἁγίου ἐκχέει σοροῦ, καὶ τηνικαῦτα τοῦ πάθους μὲν εὐθὺς ἀπαλλάσσεται, τῷ ἰδίῳ δὲ οἴκῳ ὑγιὴς χαίρων ἐπάνεισιν). Georgios Karabides gave in pawn a silver belt, silver drawer and 195 ducats in gold to Junije Lukarević. Ioannes Liberos, the son-in-law of Georgios Karabides, stated on 28th June 1336 in the presence of Nikola Falletro, the comes of the town of Ragusa, that he received the former treasury of Karabides from Junije Lukarević. Liberos swore that he will give the treasury to the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan and request a charter for Junije Lukarević from the king, which will confirm the receipt of treasury and ruled out the possibility of demand by the king, Liberos or the children of Karabides (Oliuer Gherchinich, baro domini Regis Raxie et gener Charauide, constitutes ante presentiam nobilis et potentis viri domini Nicolai Falletro, honorabilis comitis Ragusii, contentus e confessus fuit habuisse et recepisse et apud se habere a Junio de Lucarom de Ragusio unam centuram de argento et unam ladicam de argento, ponderis inter ambas librarum tredecim et unciarum V, et centum nonaginta quinque ducatos de auro, que centura et ladica et ducati acomandati fuerunt per dictum Carauidam, socerum olim dicti Oliueri, eidem Junio, ut idem Junius confessus fuit. Et similiter idem Oliverius confessus fuit tantas fuisse res et ducatos, accomandatas eidem Junio per dictum Charauidam et non plures, cum infrascriptis pactis et condictionibus, uidelicet quod ipse Oliuerius teneatur et debeat predictam centuram et ladicam et ducatos dare in manibus domini Regis Raxie in presentia Petri de Ribica et Marini filii Junii de Uolcasso de Ragusio et fieri facere ab ipso Rege eidem Junio de Lucaro unam apouiliam, sigillatam suo sigillo, continentem, qualiter ipse dominus Rex uel suus successor nec frater, filii seu filia dicti Charauidi seu aliqua alia persona de dicta centura et ladica et ducatis non possint facere uel mouere aliquam litem uel questionem in regno Raxie et Slauonie seu in aliquo loco, in curia uel extra, eidem Junio). According to the later historian Mauro Orbini a certain Karabides Fratnut with Đuraš Ilijić were among the closest counsellors of the Serbian Young King Stefan Uroš Dušan. They were with the young king, when he planned to owerthrow the government of his father Stefan Uroš III Dečanski.
Kardames	Person	κῦρ/Kirь	Mentioned in the decision of the court summoned by Sabas, the Metropolitan of Serres, from August 1365. The charter refers to him as κῦρ. He was a Megas Tzausios, 1365. He was a member of the senate of Serres. He participated in the decision over a plot of land in the village Zetinon (Zintzu) and a Church of Saint George.

Kasandrenos	Person	οἰκεῖος	Mentioned in the sources from 1300 to 1335. He appears as πανσέβαστος σεβαστός and οἰκεῖος of the Byzantine emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos in the sources. He held the position of λογαριαστὴς τῆς αὐλῆς. He owned some land near Ropalia in 1300. His property near Topolobikos is mentioned in the praktikon of Demetrios Apelmene from March 1301, in the praktikon of Konstantinos Kunales, Demetrios Kontenos and the Prokathemenos Leon Kalognomos from November 1318 and in the praktikon of Konstantinos Pergamenos and Georgios Phariseos from September 1320. He was the addressee of a letter written by Michael Gabras between 1315 and 1319. His name was erased in the letter. He possessed estates in the village Chudena before 1318 (surely long before July 1334). He owned the village τοῦ Γεωργηλᾶ with the hamlet Apidea and the village τοῦ Εὐνούχου with the manor Goreantzes before March 1319. He is mentioned in the decision charter of Esaias, the Patriarch of Constantinople, and the synod concerning the dispute between Sebastos Konstantinos Muzalon and Nikolaos Kephalas from April 1324. He is probably identical with the Kasandrenos, who joined on the 20th March 1326 together with Andronikos Komnenos Dukas Palaiologos Tornikes at Amphipolis the embassy from Constantinople heading to the Serbian king. He unjustly acquired the rights for fishing at Chudena and Neboliane before 1333.
Komnini Erini	Person	κυράKiraDominaGospogja	Mentioned in the third charter (1343/1345) of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery of Treskavec. The source denotes her as kïra. She was the wife of an unknown megas papias (žena golěmoga papie). She donated the second half of the settlement site Dlьga Vsi to the Treskavec Monastery. The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the gift of her in the third charter (1343/1345) of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery of Treskavec (I polovinu ōtь Dlьge Vsi što dade kïra Erini Komnini žena golěmoga papie).
Komьpsarin	Person		Mentioned in the second and third charter (1343/1345) of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery of Treskavec. The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan donated a 100 kьbьl large manor in Rěsnь, which was previously in the possession of Komьpsarin, to the Treskavec Monastery (Stasь u Resně Kompsarina kьblomь r).
Konьdolejь	Person	πρωτονωβελλίσσιμος/Protonobelissimos/Protonevelesimь	Mentioned in the second and third charter (1343/1345) of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Monastery of Treskavec.

The property in the vicinity of the field was held by Konьdolejь (Niva u Vincehь Golomova kьblomь sd. mь blizь protonevelisima Kondolea i pri Gorgusě).
Kotanitzes Tornikios	Person	Nobleman	Mentioned in the sources from 1280 to 1306. He was Monk of the Peribleptos Monastery in Constantinople in 1280–1283 and monk of the Μεγίστη μονή in Prusa, 1283. He held the position of Deputy commander (ὑποστράτηγος) during his stay at the Serbian court, 1297. As an outlaw, who rebelled against the Byzantine Emperor, he joined the Serbs before 1280. In 1280 he commanded the Serbian troops and plundered the Macedonian borderland till Serres. He was captured by the Byzantines. In 1283 he fled from the Μεγίστη μονή in Prusa and sought asylum at the Serbian court. Around 1297 he together with the Serbian troops looted the border regions of Macedonia. The Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin handed over Kotanitzes Tornikios to Byzantines as a consequence of the peace agreement. Kotanitzes Tornikios is attested in 1306. Probably he was still in prison. According to the historian Georgios Pachymeres the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos ordered to put the rebellious general Kassianos in prison together with Kotanitzes Tornikios. Gordana Tomović assumes that Kotanitzes Tornikios is the same person as the Despot Tornikos from the inscription of the gramatikь Nestorь in the Church of Saint George at Gorni Kozjak
Kyrillos	Person	Archbishop	Mentioned in the sources from June 1355 to 1379. He appears as ὑπέρτιμος or kyrь in the sources. He was the Metropolitan of Melnik (ὁ ταπεινὸς Μελενίκου καὶ ὑπέρτιμος Κύριλλος, dostolěpni i v’sečьstni prěōsvešten’ni mitropolitь bogozdan’nago grada Mel’nika). He attested the authenticity of the charter from June 1355 concerning the sale of a plot of land in Chomnos Stolos near Melnik. Before May 1356 he found the Church of Saint Nicholas in Melnik damaged. He restored the church, built a wall around it and a tower (kyrь Kirilь ō crьkvi svetago Nikoli čudotvor’ca Stožьskoga kako jestь naš’lь ōnuzi crьkvь svetago Nikoli Stož’koga porušenu, i ōnь ju jestь ōbnovilь i sьzidalь i ōšte i k’tomu pirьgь sьzidalь svoimь trudomь i ōtkupomь). The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš V confirmed in a chrysobull in May 1356, together with his mother, the Empress Jelena-Jelisaveta, the possession of the Church of Saint Nicholas in the town of Melnik with its landed property and holdings in Psalině and Gr’dali to the Metropolitan Kirilь. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš V donated also the village Smilovo to him (I za tozi uspomenutije prěōsvešten’nago ni mitropolita kyrь Kirila prije gospožda mi i mati carьstva mi carica kyra Jelisaf’ti i carьstvo mi, i darovasmo mu ōnuzi kjeliju, crьkvь svetago Nikoli Stožьs’koga i pirьgь što si estь samь zidalь sь vsěmi pravinami i s selomь što si estь drьžala tazi crьkvь, i s planinomь.

I kupeničije što si jestь kupilь samь mitropolitь Kyrilь i priložil pod ōnuzi crьkvь da mu něstь vol’nь nikto potvoriti). Kyrillos is mentioned in the patriarchal decree from 1379 concerning the property dispute of the Spelaion-Monastery.
Laskar	Person		Identical with Laskar Siderofag? Mentioned in the Charter of Danilь, the Bishop of Vodoča and Strumica, and Grigorije, the Bishop of Banьska from 1375/1376. His bought estate, which was 10 spindle in size, was in the vicinity of the village Prosěnikovo (ob lěvu stranu kupljenice Laskareve što je 10 vrětenь).
Laskarina Anna	Person	κυράKiraDominaGospogja	Mentioned in the decision of the Patriarch of Constantinople Philotheos Kokkinos and the Synod from July 1365. She appears as κυρὰ in the document. Her husband held the position of ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης and therefore the document refers to her as ἐπιτραπέζαινα. She was the widow of Laskaris. She was a relative of Kontostephanos. She was the rightful owner of a richly decorated sword, which belonged earlier also to Kontostephanos. She was in dispute with the widow of Kontostephanos because of the sword. The patriarchal synod ordered Kontostephanina to offset Anna Laskarina with something of an equivalent value.
Laskaris (1)	Person	ἐπὶΤῆςΤραπέζης	Died before 1365. He held the position of ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης in April 1348. He was married to Anna Laskarina. The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan donated the former property of Laskaris in April 1348 to the Batopedi Monastery. It consisted of the 500 modioi large estate called Aleurun near Chrysopolis and a 150 modioi large possession also near Chrysopolis (ὡσαύτως καὶ τὴν εἰς τὴν Χρυσούπολιν γῆν τὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ Λάσκαρι τοῦ επὶ τῆς τραπέζης τὴν ὀνομαζομένην Ἀλευροῦν, μοδίων οὖσαν πεντακοσίων, καὶ ἑτέραν πλησίον τοῦ κάστρου μοδίων ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα).

He possessed a manor in the village Lenginion, three winter watermills, a paroikos in the village Melenikitzion with houses and old village Protoknetze and Belidolo. The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan donated in October 1345 his estates to the Monastery of Saint John Prodromos near Serres (εἰς τὸ χωρίον τὸ Λεγγίνιον τὴν οἰκονομίαν τοῦ Λάσκαρη ἐκείνου μετὰ τοῦ ζευγηλατείου τοῦ κατεχομένου παρὰ τοῦ Καντακουζηνοῦ καὶ τῶν ἐν αὐτῆ τριῶν χειμερινῶν ὑδρομυλώνων καὶ τοῦ εἰς τὸ χωρίον τὸ Μελενικίτζιον παροίκου καὶ τῶν οἰκημάτων καὶ τῆς ἑτέρας γῆς ἣν εἶχεν ὁ ῥηθεὶς Λάσκαρης μετὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐν διαφόροις τόποις, καὶ τοῦ παλαιοχωρίου τοῦ λεγομένου Πρωτοκνέτζη, καὶ τοῦ Βελιδόλου καὶ τῶν ἐκεῖ δύο μυλώνων καθὰ προκατείχοντο καὶ παρὰ τοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ κανικλείου ἐκείνου).
Laskaris Georgios	Person	δοῦλος	He is mentioned in the donation deed of Konstantinos Palaiologos Laskaris for the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos from June 1374. He appears as δοῦλος of the Byzantine Emperor Ioannes V Palaiologos in the charter. He was the son of Makarios Laskaris Koteanitzes. His brothers were Konstantinos Palaiologos Laskaris and Leon Koteanitzes Laskaris. He signed the donation deed of his brother for the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos from June 1374 concerning the village of Mpresnitza near the town of Strumica.
Laskaris, Konstantinos Palaiologos	Person	δοῦλος	It is very unlikely that he was identical with Konstantinos Laskaris, who was a resident at Serres in 1377. He was the issuer of the donation deed for the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos from June 1374. The charter refers to him as κῦρ and δοῦλος of the Byzantine Emperor Ioannes V Palaiologos. He was the son of Makarios Laskaris Koteanitzes. His brothers were Georgios Laskaris and Leon Koteanitzes Laskaris. He inherited the village Mpresnitza near the town of Strumica from his mother. His father donated in 1364 the village Mpresnitza to the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos. The monks from the Hilandar Monastery accused his father of unlawful seizure of their land. Konstantinos Palaiologos Laskaris appealed the case to the patriarchal tribunal requesting to nullify the donation on account of the inalienability of the dowry. After he received a favourable decision from the patriarch, he confirmed in June 1374 the donation of the village Mpresnitza to the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos as legal (τὸ μητρόθεν μοι περιελθὸν εἰς κληρονομίαν χωρίον περὶ τὴν Στρούμπιτζαν μὲν εὐρισκόμενον, Μπρέσνιτζαν δὲ ἐπονομαζόμενον, μετὰ πάσης ἧς νῦν ἔχει νομῆς καὶ περιοχῆς).
Laskaris, Leon Koteanitzes	Person	δοῦλος	He is mentioned in the donation deed of Konstantinos Palaiologos Laskaris for the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos from June 1374. He appears as δοῦλος of the Byzantine Emperor Ioannes V Palaiologos in the charter. He was the son of Makarios Laskaris Koteanitzes. His brothers were Konstantinos Palaiologos Laskaris and Georgios Laskaris. He signed the donation deed of his brother for the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos from June 1374 concerning the village of Mpresnitza near the town of Strumica.
Laskaris, Makarios Koteanitzes	Person	κῦρ/Kirь	Mentioned in the two variants of the chrysobull charter confirming the donations of Hrelja to the Hilandar Monastery in the area of Štip and Strumica issued by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan and in the decision of the Protaton on Mount Athos from December 1370. Died before 1374. He appeared as κῦρ in the decision of the Protaton on Mount Athos from December 1370. He was a monk. He was the father of Konstantinos Palaiologos Laskaris, Georgios Laskaris and Leon Koteanitzes Laskaris. He donated in 1364 the village Mpresnitza to the Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos. The monks from the Hilandar Monastery accused him of an unlawful seizure of their land (οὗ τινος δὴ χωρίου γῆ προσηνέχθη μετὰ τοῦ δηλωθέντος χρυσοβούλλου παρὰ τοῦ ἐν μοναχοῖς κῦρ Μακαρίω Λάσκαρη τοῦ Κοτεανίτζη, ὅπερ μετὰ δολιότητος διὰ τὸ κλαπῆναι καὶ τὸ χρυσόβουλλον παρὰ τῶν δηλωθέντων Ῥωσῶν, καὶ συναρπαγεῖς ὁ Λάσκαρις ἐξέδοτο καὶ πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ τοιοῦτος τόπος). They insisted on their claim on the grounds of a chrysobull granted to their monastery. The Protaton on Mount Athos gathered in December 1370 at the behest of the Serbian Despot Ioan Uglješa (Ioannes Unklesis) ruled the dispute over the village of Mpresnitza in favour of the Hilandar Monastery. Makarios Koteanitzes Laskaris probably possessed also the village of Sekirnik and a parcel of land (Selište Sekir’nik i komat zemlje što jestь drьžalь Laskarь Kotanicь/Selo Sěkir’nykь i zem’lja što jestь drьžalь Laskarь Kotanicь).
Makarije	Person	Nobleman	Mentioned in the so-called Nomic charter, preserved in Vrěviō. He was according to the so-called Nomic charter among the local noblemen (vlastele) and people (hora) gathered at the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo on 4th november of an unspecified year.
