"Residence in Bulgaria", St. Clair and Brophy

APPENDIX G.

Before the Bulgarian ecclesiastical schism, the tax paid to the Wladyka by the villages in this neighbourhood was 28 piastres; to keep possession of his flock the Wladyka offered to reduce this sum to 16 piastres, a proposition which was accepted or rejected according to the preponderance of Greek or Bulgarian blood amongst the different villages.
