29/7 Kepez. Ismail, son of Hamza; Hamza obtained by purchase from Government imi, the lands of a complete village, 1 hour away (Elmali Ky c.f. 4/130)
- a matter of thousands of
dnm. Ismail has 9 brothers, 4 full, 5 half brothers; he lets land at 5 snk a dnm to the villagers - for this reason, poverty, caused by lack of oxen, men
with little land can get his land to plough. I asked why he does not plough it, e.g. by buying a tractor - para yok {gl : no money} - why doesn't he make a
iftlik {farm} ? Not very long ago this land confined {?} by makeme {court} against some people in Revdi.
Without Elmali people own up to 200 dnm.
