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.

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.

At midnight, while we were asleep, we were attacked by armed inhabitants of the village Kutretino.

Land Inventory-Brebion (Nomic's Charter)

Source

The Land Inventory-Brebion is a register of all land holdings of the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo. The collection is the work of one scribe, but it contains different acts coming from a wider time span. Until Bubalo's analysis the document was called after the first line Brěvno matere Božije Htětovskije. Bubalo corrected the reading into brebion, which is a loanword reflecting the greek word βρεβίον (inventory in the basic meaning). A copy of a Nomic’s Charter is also preserved in the Land Inventory-Brebion. Nomics were public notaries in Serbia. The Nomic's Charter was created some time before the Brebion (1343-1345 or in the first half of the 1340's).
