Megistis Lavra (English spelling)

...The site has also been called the Holy Mountain (Ágion Óros) since it has been widely regarded as a holy place for the entire Orthodox world since the Middle Ages.

In 971 or the following year, the First Rule (Proto Typikon), which corresponds to the Charter of Athos, was published, and it already contained the framework of the institutions we see today, including the guarantee of autonomy from the empire, the determination of the territorial boundaries, and the organizational management and discipline of the monastery.
