Arbanasy Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the village of Arbanasy together with all its rights to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selo Arbanasi sь vьsěmi pravinami).
Boikovci Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the village of Boikovci to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selo Boikovci sь pravinami). It is registered as Bujkovci, Bojkovci and Prejovci in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1481/82, 1519 and from the years 1570 to 1572.
Deikovo Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the settlement site of Deikovo to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selište Deikovo). The village of Deikovci, which is probably identical with the settlement site of Deikovo, was granted to the Monastery of Hilandar by the Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš in the year 1378/79 (Selo Deikovci). In the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519 and from the years 1570 to 1572 a certain village called Delovci is registered. According to the context of the latter it must have been situated in the area of Lojane, Zlokukjane and Vaksince. On account of the sources, it is possible to argue that Deikovo, Deikovci and the Ottoman Delovci were one and the same place.
Drugoševci Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the village of Drugoševci to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Sselo Drugoševci sь pravinami). It was granted to the Monastery of Hilandar by the Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš in the year 1378/79 (Selo Drugoševci). Drugoševci may be identified with the village of Dragošnica in Ottoman times, which is registered in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519 and from the years 1570 to 1572.
Izvorь Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the village of Izvorь together with its boundaries and rights to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selo Izvorь s megěmi i ōtesi i s pravinami sela togo). The village of Izvorь was granted to the Monastery of Hilandar by the Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš in the year 1378/79. It is mentioned in the so-called Pšinjski pomenik (15th c.). The village of Izvorь is registered in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519 and from the years 1570 to 1572.
Maistorie Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the village of Maistorie to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selo Maistorije). The exact location of the village is unknown, but, on the basis of the written sources, it was probably situated in the Skopska Crna Gora.
Maistorie Krupnici Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the settlement site of Maistorie Krupnici to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selište Maistorije Krěpinci). The village of Krupnici, probably identical with the settlement site of Maistorie Krupnici, was granted to the Monastery of Hilandar by the Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš in the year 1378/79 (Selo Krupnici). The exact location of the settlement site is unknown, but, on the basis of the written sources, it was probably situated in the Skopska Crna Gora.
Mokra Poljana Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the settlement site of Mokra Polěna to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selište Mokra Polěna). The charter shows a striking difference in the settlement typology, since Mokra Polěna appears as a village (selo) as well as a settlement site (selište). The village of Mokra Poljana was granted to the Monastery of Hilandar by the Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš in the year 1378/79 (Selo Mokra Poljana). It is registered as Mezra Mokra Polana in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from the years 1570 to 1572, which means that the village was already abandoned at that time .
Podlěšane Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the village of Podlěšane together with hamlets, boundaries and all rights to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55 (Selo Podlěšane s megěmi i ōtesi i sь zaselci i sь vsěmi pravinami sela togo). The village of Podlěšane was granted to the Monastery of Hilandar by the Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš in the year 1378/79.

It was granted to the Monastery of Hilandar by the Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš in the year 1378/79. The village of Ruginci is registered in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519 and from the years 1570 to 1572.
Vrače Place The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed Sebastokrator Dejan's donation of the settlement site of Vrače (Selište Vrače) to the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God in the village of Arhiljevica in the year 1354/55. The settlement site of Vrače is probably registered as Vrač in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from the years 1570 to 1572. The location of the settlement site is unknown. The identification with the village of Vračevce, 18 km to the North-East of Kumanovo, is questionable.

Arhiljevica 1 Source The chrysobull charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) confirmed the foundation of the Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother of God by Sebastokrator Dejan in the village of Arhiljevica and its landed property. The original charter has not come upon us, and its content is preserved only in two later transcripts. The older one (Hilandar 36) is probably an authentic transcript, but its dating is questionable, because it contradicts historical circumstances known from other reliable sources. Therefore, the date, when the lost orginal was issued, can only be approximated to the years 1354 or 1355. Hilandar 150/152 differs from its predecessor in the dispositional section, containing two previously unmentioned villages, which do not appear even in the charter by the Serbian Empress Jevdokija and her son Konstantin Dragaš from 1378/79. It was made in the 15th century or later with the intent of obtaining or confirming the enlargement of Chilandar's Arhiljevica metochion.
