Temnić inscription

The Temnić inscription (Serbian: Temnićki natpis/Темнићки натпис) is one of the oldest records of Old Church Slavonic Cyrillic script from the territory of Serbia. The limestone plate was discovered in the vicinity of a school in the village of Gornji Katun, near Varvarin, in the region of Temnić in Pomoravlje. It was acquired by the National Museum of Serbia in 1909. The tablet represents a scientific conundrum as no other remains of an edifice were found and paleographic and linguistic analysis of the text reveals little information.
