Note:

6/11 ( i (0317 Haci Beki) Ince Mehmet {sk} 10 years ago sold land (about 60 dnm) to one Yunus of Ard. i(Haci) married one daughter, i(0065 Cemal
Ate)'s son married one other daughter; so these daughters brought the land back to Sakaltutan. Had they brothers? If so, what shares?
i(0317 Haci) possesses 30 dnm in all 20 here and two other bits.
. {c: I found him difficult to understand. In the first days, he was with me a lot. These notes followed a walk out of the village to look at the fields. I was
naive.}
Walking out to i(0317 Haci)'s ba {gl: vineyard} in direction of Kepez and Ard we passed largish
fields belonging to one man. Land next to i(0317 Haci), belonged to i(0065 emal Ates) (gelininden {from his SW}) {gl: because i(0317) 's W was i(0065 emal
Ates)'s SW}
i(0286 Nazim Tufan) and i(0283 Hseyn Tufan)'s fields side by side
Patch of "mera" {pasture}below these fields on village side belongs inalienably to village, although verimli {fertile}(? i(0317 Haci) reliable on this?
i(0200 Rstem Krolu) - (ba under rocks i (0212 Melik ahin)) ba on hill with shelter. Fields to left with zibil {word not understood - ?ashes? dung?} i(0036
Abdrrahman Aslan) - will be potatoes - using zibil on his own fields.

{c: short of mapping, this kind of information about who owns which plot fairly useless. Some points emerge}

k<owners of plots of land>
