The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, olive trees, cotton, goats and beehives, in addition to "occasional revenues"; a total of 4,300 akçe.Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 186Note that Rhode, 1979, p. 6 writes that the register that Hütteroth and Abdulfattah studied was not from 1595/6, but from 1548/9
