Samuil's Inscription is a medieval text that was found on the tombstone of Samuel of Bulgaria's parents, erected in 992/3 CE.
One of the oldest preserved Cyrillic Slavic inscriptions,[1][2] it was made in the First Bulgarian Empire by the order of Tsar Samuel.
Its original location is thought to have been in the town of Prespa on the island of St. Achilles, from where it was subsequently transferred to the old church of German, which dates back to 1006.
