Legal (kadı) court decision (hüccet) verifying the ownership of the Zograf Monastery over the flocks' winter shelters (kışlak) in Yovaniçe (Yovanitsa), which was claimed by the Simen Monastery as well. Several monks from the monasteries of Kastamonit, Xenophontos, and Hilandar testified in the kadı court that the contested territory was in possession of Zograf Monastery since olden times and therefore it is the rightful owner of the kışlak in Yovaniçe Original.
