Witness:

We, the undersigned, contzanbasides and agades of the place Bogdantza, declare, with the present document, that on the 21st of April a daughter of Delhio Giota, aged of twelve years, was carried off at 8 o’clock on Wednesday, whilst she was going to take water from the fountain. The persons that had taken the girl were the wives of Suleiman Tsaoussi; those of Chussein, son of Ismail Aga; of Ibrahim Yatzatzi, and of Tasar Akbamba, and many other women, who carried the girl by force away from her mother, and are harboring her to this day by turns in different Turkish houses, using every influence and emulation to induce her to embrace Mahometanism. To this fact we, the undersigned, contzambassides and agades, give our evidence.
