Summary/Abstract: The article offers the reader the texts of all the known sources pertaining to the history of the Zographite dependency of “Mavros Viros”, which is located 2 km north of the Bulgarian Athonite Monastery. The earliest sources are Greek (980, 1049, 1623 and 1744), while those of the years 1747 (Porfirii Uspenskii), 1756 (Iob Mavrovirskii or Iakov Butenko), 1758 (Ioasaf Petrenko), 1763 (Leontii Iatsenko-Zelenskii), 1760 (Ignatii Denshin), 1827 (Russian monk named Theofan) and 1847 (priest-monk Sergei Vesnin) are written in Russian. The new contribution of the article to the general knowledge about the Zographite dependency of “Mavros Viros” are the texts of two extensive Bulgarian documents dated to 1907 – 1908, which reject the Russian claims to this dependency and substantiate the legal rights of the Bulgarian Athonite monastery of Zographou over it.
