Theodoros Tetragonites, a soldier from Stroumnitsa to Platamonas


Αρχοντούλα Αναστασιάδου
Abstract

A certain Theodoros Tetragonites is referred on an inscription of the year 1334 from the walls of the Byzantine fortified town of Platamonas in Southern Macedonia.

Tetragonites were a well-known family in Strumnitsa, Northern Macedo­ nia, during 13th to 15th century.

Theodoros of the inscription must be identified with a Sevastos Atratiotes who lived in Strumnitsa between 1286 and 1310. He must have moved to Pla­ tamonas as the new castrophylax of the town just after the Serbian occupation of Northern Macedonia in 1334.
