Comment: The draft has an unusual, almost narrative style like "There was once a jupan...", which is not in line with Wikipedia’s neutral, encyclopedic tone. Even if the subject is notable, the article would need significant rewriting for style and tone in addition to stronger sourcing.Cameremote (talk) 14:26, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
Circa 943, there was a jupan[2] named Dimitrie,[3][4] who ruled over the Jupanat of Dimitrie.[5]
Dimitrie
[edit]It is likely that Dimitrie was of Vlach origin and had separated from Bulgaria after the death of Tsar Simeon I in 927. He was a chieftain, and led the fortified settlement where the tablet was discovered. Dimitrie probably died fighting Byzantines, identified as Greeks.[4]
Tablet
[edit]
A tablet, dated 943, was discovered in 1950 in the ruins of a small fort near the present-day commune of Mircea Vodă, Constanța. It is in Old Slavonic, and mentions a certain jupan named Dimitrie.[4][6]
The tablet itself is stone and is parallelepiped-shaped. One side has a well-polished groove in the form of a channel, that is 13 centimetres (5.11811 inches), probably from an initial use. On the other side there is a fragment of an inscription in Old Slavonic.[7]
