In that earlier post's notice of this saint, at the link to his depiction at Čučer in today's Čučer-Sandevo in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, for 'the earlier fourteenth-century (ca. 1314-ca. 1320) frescoes of the church of St. Nikita' please read 'the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (ca. 1314-ca. 1320) by Michael Astrapas and Eutychios in the church of St. Nicetas the Goth (Sv.
