It is dated 30 Haziran 1308 (12 July 1892). The property is measured with precision—6 dönüm, 14 evlek, 35 arşun, 10 parmak—and bordered by lands owned by Kifork (Kevork), Avedik, Mina Hatun, and a public road. The appearance of exclusively Armenian personal names reflects the strong Armenian presence in the village at the time.
