TWO INSCRIPTIONS FROM BOKA KOTORSKA WITH THE NAME OF BISHOP JOHN

Milenko Lončar

Abstract

The author proposes revisions in the extant readings of the inscription from Boka Kotorska, especially the one proposed by Kovačević, which will restore the synchrony of the year with the indiction; in such a manner the interpretation gains in persuasiveness.
At the beginning of the, up to now incomprehensible, inscription from Bijela the author sees the possibility of recognizing the title of an emperor and probably the name of the emperor himself, Nikefor I.
In such a manner both inscriptions mutually corroborate themselves and confirm theopinion that we are dealing with the same, as it appears, very industrious bishop from the beginning of the 9th
century.
