(10293) Pribina Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 5 October 1986 by M. Antal at Piwnice.
Pribina (800?--861) was seated in Nitra, where he built the first church in Slovakia and founded the Nitra principality, first state of ancient Slovaks. In 833 he was forced to flee from Nitra but later acquired a large territory near Lake Balaton, where he ruled as a duke, became Christian and built a dozen new churches.Naming citation (20010804/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
