Sažetak
During the Second Salonitan council held on 23th May 533, among other things,
three new dioceses were established with their seats in Sarsenterum, Muccurum and
Ludrum. Many authors have dealt with the question of location of these places, the
entities included into the dioceses as well as the jurisdiction of their bishops. How-
ever, many fundamental issues considering them are still disputable, due to many
mistakes and the corrupted Latin language in which the documents of the councils
were written being the only documents in which those dioceses were mentioned. The
diocese with its seat in Muccurum had all characteristics of a rural diocese. The juris-
diction of its bishop spread, quite likely, from south-eastern parts of Mosor mountain
and Poljica to the Neretvian marshes and the middle Dalmatian islands of Brač, Hvar
and Vis (possibly Korčula) as well as from the north-western parts of Pelješac penin-
sula to the area of Imotski-Bekija.
