The borders of the Kutmichevitsa or Devol Comitatus during 9th-10th centuries.[1]
Kutmichevitsa (Bulgarian: Кутмичевица) was an administrative region of the Bulgarian Empire during 9th-11th cent., corresponding roughly with the northwestern part of the modern region of Macedonia[2] and the southern part of Albania, broadly taken to be the area included in the triangle Saloniki-Skopje-Vlora.[3] It had an important impact on the formation, endorsement and development of the Old Church Slavonic and culture. The Debar–Velich diocese of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church was created in Kutmichevitsa whose first bishop between 886 and 893 was Clement of Ohrid, appointed by Knyaz Boris I.[2]
