Archbishop of Bulgaria Theophylactos’works, especially his letters and most particularly «The lifes of the 15 martyrs of Tiberioupolis», which are mainly dealt with, in this paper, constitute a remarkable source, very positive, in the development of the spiritual and historical relations mainly between the Greeks and Bulgarians in the middle and later ages.It is up to the Greek and Bulgarian historiography to evaluate objective­ ly and positively these sources of the common cultural and historical heritage and symbiosis of our people.The up iodate historians’ researches, in spite of all their different estimates, constitute a good basis for further study and promotion of Theophylactos’ written works as much from the Greek side as from the Bulgarian side.As far as the stated and analysed historical problems are concerned, I should like to believe that Theophylactos was somehow misunderstood by the above mentioned writers Tafel, Jirecek, Zlatarski and Papazoglou.Therefore, according to Theophylactos, Stromnitsa was called earlier Tiberioupolis, and in this Tiberioupolis, the later called Stromnitsa, the 4 refugees from Asia Minor and the 11 natives suffered martyrdom.
