Document 1 on page 62 in Sicil no. 16 is without date, but judging by the dates of the documents preceding and following it in the same Sicil, it was composed in 1658. It includes a verdict from the judge called Ibrahim Aga and the confession of the convict named Mishe, a bandit from the village of Malovište, convicted for banditry. Following the accusation that he is “a bandit who attempted to start a rebellion in the Empire”, Mishe admitted that he was “a bandit who attacked many places and robbed them”. Since Mishe was from the village of Malovište, it is highly probable that he was of Vlach descent.

Three documents from the Court in Bitola: Page 31b of Document 2 from Sicil 28 writen on 9 Jumada al-thani 1106 (January 25, 1695); Page 49b of Document 2 from Sicil 28 writen in the third decade of Rabi al-thani 1105 (between 20-28 December 1693); and Page 49b of Document 3 from Sicil 28 writen in the third decade of Jumada al-awwal (between 18-27 January 1694). All three documents are orders sent to the kadis in Kastoria, Florina, Ostrovo, Bitola, Bihlishte and Prespa, who are informed that 80 bandits attacked the home of Aliya in Yasikoy near Komotini in Western Thrace, and they are ordered to catch the bandits. The bandits, around 80, attacked the house of Aliya in Yesikoy, they killed his father Hasan, his brother Hussein and a female slave, robbing 4,000 golden coins, 33 bags full of silver coins and other stuff. The bandits were led by certain Ioan Karakash Papazoglou from Nymphaio. The others in the band came from Kleisoura, Nymphaio and Pisoder. By January 25, 1695, the authorities arrested 5 of these bandits, while the others were hiding in Nikolitsa, Nymphaio, Kleisoura and Gramatikovo. Considering that a century later all named villages were predominantly Vlach, it is probable that the band that made the above mentioned attack was consisted of Vlach bandits.
