Bitola Inscription in FYROM

There are many Historical and archaelogical proofs that show the Bulgarian apearance in the FYROM StateOne from the most known is the so called Bitola Inscription. It mention that the Jovan Vladislav, was the King of the supposing Macedonian State called him self as BULGARIAN EMPEROR.

The MENTIONED inscription found in the Monastirion (Bitola) at 1956 and they translated only some quotes that mention:

This inscription was engraved from the Jovan Vladislav,Bulgarian Emperor son of Aaron(brother of Samuil) his castle rebuild for the save and the life of the Bulgarians.

Who told that:

J.Zaiminov, H. Lunt and R. Mathiesen.

The only disagreement is the chronology of the inscription. The first said that estimated in 11 cent when the latter in 13 cent. But is known that the Slavmacedonians never allowed Greeks or Bulgarians in orders to make any archaeological corporation in theirs state.

The text of the inscription is partially damaged. The text in Old Bulgarian, with some conjectures made by Vladimir Moshin and Iordan Zaimov to reconstruct the damaged parts, reads as follows:

In the year 6523 (1015) since the creation of the world, this fortress, built and made by Ivan, Tsar of Bulgaria, was renewed with the help and the prayers of Our Most Holy Lady and through the intercession of her twelve supreme Apostles. The fortress was built as a haven and for the salvation of the lives of the Bulgarians. The work on the fortress of Bitola commenced on the twentieth day of October and ended on the [...] This Tsar was Bulgarian by birth, grandson of the pious Nikola and Ripsimia, son of Aaron, who was brother of Samuil, Tsar of Bulgaria, the two who routed the Greek army of Emperor Basil II at Stipone where gold was taken [...] and in [...] this Tsar was defeated by Emperor Basil in 6522 (1014) since the creation of the world in Klyutch and died at the end of the summer.

A translation of only the clearly readable parts is as follows:

“ In the year [...] since the creation of the world, this fortress, built and made by Ivan, Bulgarian autocrat, was renewed with the help and the prayers of Our Most Holy Lady and through the intercession of her twelve supreme apostles. The fortress was built as a haven and for the salvation of the lives of the Bulgarians. The work on the fortress of Bitola commenced on the twentieth day of October and ended on the [...] was Bulgarian by birth [...] pious son of Aaron [...] they both defeated [...] where was taken [...] and this Tsar [...] 6522 (1014) since the creation of the world [...] at the end."
