Summary/Abstract: King Milutin buys three adelphata from Hilandar monastery, two for the sustenance of monks of the Tower of Chryse (Pyrgos of Holy Ascension) and one for dweller of the kellion of Holy Trinity. The contract was confirmed by the decision of the Council of brethren of Serbian athonite convent, headed by hegoumenos Gervasios and 19 of its most distinguished monks. The document was made in the last years of Stephen Uroš II’s reign (1318–1321) and it came down to us as a transcript from the third or fourth decade of the XIVth century.
