Description

The village Vlah (registered as Iflah or Ulah) is an abandoned village. The location of this village is unknown. We know that it was in nahie Biglichta, near the village of Agios Georgios, which was near the village of Kosinec. Since Agios Georgios’ location is unknown, while Kosinec is now called Ieropigi (Kastoria region in Greece, 25 km north-west of Kastoria, and 3 km from the Greek-Albanian border) and there is a monastery named Agios Georgios near Kosinec (on the south-east of the village), we can assume that the village of Vlah was nearby. In the census for nahie Biglichta 1568/69, 6 married men (Miho Div, Petri Nicola, Yanko Miro, Miro Kole, Tiho Yacio, Velko Koyo) and 5 unmarried men (Peio Miho, Mekshi Miro, Tiho Miro, Petcu Velcu, Atanas Yacio) lived in the village Vlah/Iflah/Ulah.
