Description

Tsar Constantine I Asen donated the village of Rěčice together with vineyards, mills, meadows, summer pastures and hunting grounds to the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg (Vь Položkoi ōblasti selo Rěčici, i to darovan’noje s(ve)toïmь Romanomъ c(a)rjemь S(ve)tōmu Geōrgiju sъ vinograd(i), sь nivijemъ, (i) sъ žrъnъkami, sъ perivolmi, sь sěnokosi, sь zaběloï, sь planinami, sь lovištemъ zvěrnoïmъ, i sь vsěmi dohodkoï i sь vsěmi pravinami). King Stefan Uroš II Milutin confirmed the donation of the village of Rěčice to the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg and he recalls the earlier donors (Selo vь ōblasti Položьkoi Rěčice sь Popovlïani, ježe jestь priložilь svety Romanь carь, prьvi ktitorь. I vidě kraljevstvo mi ïako podano jestь svetymь Romanomь caremь i svetimь kÿrь-Aleksiemь caremь, i zapisano i utvrьždeno kÿrь-Manoilemь caremь, kÿrь-Asanomь caremь i svetymi i pravověrnimi cari i krali više pisanimi, i osvoboždeno ōtь vsěhь rabotь carьskihь i ōtь vsěhь podanьkь malihь i velikihь). The village is mentioned a second time with the confirmed posessions (selo Rěčice s` vinogradi, s` perьvoli, s` nivijemь, s` mlini, sь sěnokosi, sь zaběli i sь planinomь i sь vsěmi pravinami sela togo). The Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin also donated the property of Manota near Rěčice, which was a dowry from his father-in-law Dragota, to the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg. The reason for this act, was the fact, that the property of Manota belonged to the pronoia of the emperor and was not a patrimonial property. Manota was permitted to continue to hold the property on condition, that he and his sons serve the monastery as soldiers (I Dragotino město u Rěčicahь ōbrěte se carьska pronija, a na baština Dragotina, i dade je kraljevьstvo mi crьkvi. I togo radi Manota zetь Dragotinь, viděvь ere otstupi ōt njeho tьstna prikija, i prědade se crьkvi da si drьži tьstninu i da rabota crьkvi u voiničьski zakonь, da mu se konь ne tovari, i tovara da ne vodi. Ako li Manota i egova dětca i unučije ōtstupetь ōt crьkve, da su lisi Dragotina města, da si ga drьži crьkvi, jakože ga i ōbrěte kraljevьstvo mi u starihь hrisovulěhь carьske pronije, a ne Dragotinu baštinu).
