The Jupanat of Dimitrie[2] was a former sovereign state, c. 943. Dimitrie[3][4] was a jupan[5] in Dobruja, modern-day Romania.
Dimitrie
[edit | edit source]It is likely that Dimitrie was of Vlach origin and had separated from Bulgaria after the death of Tsar Simeon I in 927. He was a chieftain, and led the fortified settlement where the tablet was discovered. Dimitrie probably died fighting Byzantines, identified as Greeks.[4]
Tablet
[edit | edit source]
A tablet, dated 943, was discovered in 1950 in the ruins of a small fort near the present-day commune of Mircea Vodă, Constanța. It is in Old Slavonic, and mentions a certain jupan named Dimitrie.[4][6]
The tablet itself is stone and is parallelepiped-shaped. One side has a well-polished groove in the form of a channel, that is 13 centimetres (5.11811 inches), probably from an initial use. On the other side there is a fragment of an inscription in Old Slavonic.[7]
