Let X be a harmonic space in the sense of C. Constantinescu and A. Cornea. We show that, for any subset E of X, a positive superharmonic function u on X has a representation u = p + h, where p is the greatest specific minorant of u satisfying . This result is a generalization of a theorem of M. Brelot. We also state some characterizations of extremal superharmonic functions.
