This article appears in Volume V14, Page 737 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
IPEK (Slay. Petch, Lat. Pescium) , a town of Albania, European Turkey, in the vilayet of
Kossovo
  and sanjak of Novibazar, 73 M. E.N.E. of Scutari, near the eastern base of the Mokra Planina, the Montenegrin frontier, and the head-waters of the Ibar and
White
  Drin. Pop. (19o5), about 15,000, principally. Albanians and Serbs. A small stream bearing, like several others in the Balkan peninsula, the name of Bistritza (the
bright
  or clear), flows through the town. On one of the neighbouring heights is situated the monastery of Ipek, founded by Archbishop Arsenius in the r3th
century
 , and famous as the seat until 1690 of the patriarchs of the Servian
church
 . The buildings are surrounded by thick walls, and comprise a large central
church
  (Our Lady's), and two side chapels (the Martyrs' and St Demetrius'), each surmounted by a leaden cupola, The church
dates
  from the 16th and 17th centuries. Among its numerous objects of
interest
  are the
white
 
marble
  tombs of Arsenius and other chiefs of the Servian church, and the white
marble
  throne on which the patriarchs were crowned. Ipek has been incorrectly identified by some writers with Doclea or Dioclea (Dukle in Montenegro), the birthplace of Diocletian, and the
capital
  of a small principality which was overthrown by the Bulgarians in the 11th
century
 .
See Barth, Reise durch das Innere der europdischen Turkei (Berlin, 1864) ; A. P. Irby and G. M. M. Mackenzie, Travels in the Slavonic Provinces of Turkey (1877); M. E.
