Sažetak
There is practically no information about the history of Dalmatia and Croatia in the 8th century. All the more important is the fact, established and elucidated recently by Jean Darrouzes, that in the acts of the Council of Nicaea of 787, at which the influence of the iconoclasts in the Church of Constantinople was broken, four Dalmatian bishops are mentioned: John of Salona (Split), Ursus of Arba (Rab), Lawrence of Apsara
(Osor) and John of Decatera (Kotor), all of them as suffragans of the Patriarch of Constantinople with the rank of archibishops, independent of any metropolitan. This is a crucial fact for the church history of Dalmatia in the second half of the 8th century.
In this paper the names of the Dalmatian bishoprics as they appear in the acts are discussed. They are grecized in a peculiar, rather popular form, quite independent of the tradition of ancient Greco-Latin literacy. In this respect they differ quite clearly from the names of other bishoprics that appear in the acts. These Greek names are based on Latin forms which are also recorded in medieval Latin sources. The bishops themselves bear quite common Christian names, more of a Latin than of a Greek type, as must be expected for Dalmatia in early medieval times.
