Abstract


This paper is the continuation of my research of names found in the medieval Croatian manuscript Žića svetih otaca (The Life of the Holy Fathers). After the analysis of personal names (a previous contribution in the same journal by the same author) the author gives a survey of toponyms, ktetics and ethnics. This group
of names is much less numerous than personal names, and it covers the area of the Roman Empire, e.g. the places where the action of Verba seniorum took place (northern Egipt). In Žića svetih otaca mostly well known toponyms, ktetics and ethnics occur, and those less known or completely unknown are usually not named.
They are replaced by an unspecified formulation e.g. niki grad, niko misto, kadi užaše, kadi biše etc.
